what kind of discus is this?

[kikoman]

I have this small discus for a while now and still he/che hasn't change his/her color? what do u think the problem is and can u distinguish what kind is he/she?

the discus is eating well and swim normally! and has no problem at all...

Very hard to tell. It is still relatively small, but even at that size there usually are SOME markings on the body. But since I dont see any, it very well could be a very plain brown discus. It would be best to wait and see a few more months as it grows to get a better idea of what it is.

ohhh on the other forum they said it might grow as a res alanquer???? i don't know what he means about that?

Too hard to tell at this time. Wait until it colors up more. Where did you purchase it from? If were a red alenquer, you would have paid the price for it. If it was purchased at a LFS, than it is likely just a common brown that hasn't begun to color up yet.

no... i'm just experimenting u know im just looking some random discus at a LFS... and I saw this tiny guy... and it cost me $10.... so i'm really excited wat color he will develop? and until now he hasn't change??? but he gets more orangey to a lil bit of red??? i dunno?

What foods are you feeding?

 

[kikoman]

i'm feeding them with tropical granules(tetraColor) .... and sometimes live worms and beefheart... but that discus is not eating beefheart...

 

[stingray man]

U can't base ur food around the color granules they dont get there proper diet. Try blood worms

 

[WyldFya]

Discus can be raised just fine on flakes, or pellets. I would recommend adding a good flake to their diet. Adding frozen bloodworms also would be a good idea.

ohhh oki... can anyone tell me a good brand of flakes? hehe okay.... thank you very much! and HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
