you tell me what you think they are. They're current names for both are, the MISFITS the only two left in the tank no one wanted [emoji22] when I got them so cheap $30 a pair!
poppa, i'm not sure of there type, i bought them young at a chinese lfs. I always wanted discus, so i had to get them, even though i had no experience with them, they proved me wrong , dem discus. They are very hardy, good colors, they're very close as good friends should be, but i'm not sure who's the guy or girl. Love to breed them out too if they ever decide to get together. I'm not sure of there age, but they were about half the size when i got them about eight months ago. I've seen many a discus bro, not mention your beauties!!!

They're about 3-3/12". I thought the same about the pigeon blood, but I think they are still youngins???
Thanks, but they just are fish food. It's hard for the parents to keep them too many predator's, but they defend off as long as possible. They seem like good parent, but my back veils are always ready to spawn too, its neat to see they prefer competition and a rival fish works well too, its gets them to spawning mode. I'm not sure but I think my heater went up a degree or two when I made and adjustment for the winter months ahead, it could have triggered them to spawn??? I'll keep watch on them as I prepare their breeding tanks soon.[emoji40]
Yea me too, he's got one red and one black eye, orange red on one side of his face. He's like Two Face and has a smile like the joker, as in Batman, he's weird but cool , and he keeps his mate inline and close. I hope they make some viable eggs when they go in their breeder!!!
That is for sure my friend, I haven't seen any golds in a long time now, mine are more white as you say.The thing is that the original Gold Angels were actually a gold color but now there are 3 types of Golds and the most common is more white than Gold. Carotene foods should bring out the natural Gold in those fish that can get Gold. Not all of them will get that. A few generations of good Golds should bring that golden color back out. I'm working on that myself.
) so many traits have been lost. For example, Blushings were used to make Kois but you don't see many blushing Angels offered. Same with the Zebra Lace. A lot of Zebras out there but not Zebra Lace. Now, many of the original forms are so many generations from wild that they too have lost some traits. Some places ( ie Angels Plus) discuss outcrossing their new lines with wild fish to help bring back the qualities of Angelfish that made them the desirable fish they were and are. Sadly, as I have heard in a couple of conversations with old time pet shops, today's customers have no idea what an Angelfish is really supposed to look like so they buy what they see, misshapen or disfigured, discolored as they may be. One guy told me, he had a brother team breeding Angels for his store and one brother, not knowing the right characteristics of Angels, culled every proper Angel because they didn't look like the ones they saw in the shops. 
This is just indicative of why the Angels out there are in the shape they are in. One of the reasons I liked the fish in my avatar so much was because he had many of the wild characteristics that most of my current Angels just don't have or show. I'm so sad I lost that fish. But I too will be crossing wild fish again so in the future, I too can offer better Angels for sale. It's a long process tho. I only hope I live long enough to see it.
