I often have a look and dream about owning a pair of chens fish !
he often has some great offers on groupes of 4 or 6 to get pairs from.

2 of my fish came from plymouth discus via my local petshop!
5 came from John A a hobby discus breeder from Birmingham (great guy!)
2 from a maidenhead aquatics shop that i believe sell fish from Vietnam

so my nine are as follows

Breeding pair
1 blue snakeskin (asian)
1 unknown brown ish female (asian)

5 red malboro between 2" and 3.5" (german bloodline)

in quaranteen before going into display tank
1 bleachd white 2" (asian)
1 blue diamond high fin 2.5"(asian)


I need more tanks LOL

neil i have no idea about the aquatic frog's
compatability .....but im sure chen will have advised you on him

get some photos on here when you have them settled in
fun times
robert.

well just two hours until collection!!!

Im not sure if i am more scared or excited!!

The frog in the tank is always hiding and is not very confident. He does not bother with the other fish at all and they seem to leave him be!

Will post some pictures as soon as i get them done.

Thanks Robert,

They are doing fantastic!!!

I am really really happy with them and they seem to have settled remarkably quick.

They have not eaten much and i think i put in too much food, wont do that again!!

Had a slight mishap when picking the fish up to put in the tank, one of the discus struggled and i dont know how, but it managed to wriggle and jump out of my hand onto the carpet.
I was really worried, but its the happiest out the lot and the one who hate the most.

They are absolutely stunning, and thats after a trip from London to Scotland, a new environment etc! They are lovely colours!

Well i am going to leave them to settle now and will keep you updated!!

So happy and excited!!! lol.
