Wow, great colors on your discus!

They show better color after a day or two in the tank.

Question, are all discus like this, I mean colorwise? I seen one of the local pet stores(that sometimes has a decent fish selection) that was really just a plain grayish color. Price tag was $40, he was really not much bigger than a half dollar.

there are several, several, strains of discus. Even albino ones with no color or pattern are sold.
