Mahalo for the kind words OrionGirl, DaisyTattoo.

Sarcare, the pair were forced upon each other. The male has been a part of my collection from a juvenile and was paired with another female until she decided to commit suicide.The female was paired with the Leopard in pic #1 but I seperated them as the male is set aside for a show. All are currently at or about 6.5" in size. Goal for discus in pic 1 and 5 are 8" plus.

Braddah Mark, you will get some of the juves once I get them that big, First 4 on me Bra.(just pay shipping) All came from Daniel Villasenor of Gulfcoastdiscus.com and the male of the pair from Jack Taylor of DiscusKC.

Blue, That discus is also my favorite strain.

Again Mahalo all for the kind words. I have more discus that are in growout tank so more pics to come. These are for breeding program though no shows planned for these juveniles. Red Melons and Reflection Ds all from Dan and from world famous Orient breeder Roy Khoo.

wesleydnunder · 03-25-2007, 06:06 PM

Ike, my dog is a Labrador Retriever mix. His name is Shadow and he is the sweetest dog I've ever had the priveledge to share my life. Thank you for the kind offer of the discus, bra. I will happily pay the shipping for them.

Wow, Ike.. they look really nice!
My blues could use some company...you going to have anything at the IAA swapmeet in May?

DaKineDiscus · 03-25-2007, 07:57 PM

Aloha Nursie, Im not sure if I will at that time. Check with me about a week before. Mahalo for the kind words also.

Mark, the reason I asked is in the first pic. His name is Pua or flower in Hawaiian. He is a chocolate gray pit and scared of his own shadow, get it

. Ill let you know when and if Im sucsessful with the pairs fry.

The next pic is of one of my RCS tanks in the livingroom.

Beautiful discus.

Aussie_hippie_2 · 03-26-2007, 10:53 AM

Ike, your pup is the spitting image of mine

Or mine is the spitting image of yours, now I'm confused.

Anywho, great looking fish you got there!

Brilliant · 04-03-2007, 02:47 PM

I am so torn between wilds and tank bred fish. These are very nice looking fish. I really like the male in 72 & 73. I have always admired the size and shape of of fish from GulfCoastDiscus.

Nice fish mang!

rosita · 04-04-2007, 12:30 PM

I've never seen discus like those before; they are stunning!! And Pua looks like such a teddy bear!!! Thanks for sharing!!

DaKineDiscus · 04-11-2007, 12:30 PM

Aloha, I would like to Thank Everyone for the nice comments. For an update I have great news. After their 6th spawn the pair are now parents. Its not a large one but with time the female will tighten the pattern of egg laying. Id say there is about 40 fry at this point. I will post pics as they get a little bigger to see.

Ike

Naps · 04-11-2007, 07:46 PM

WOW!!! Great news!!!!

keep us all posted on how things go!!!
