Two discus fish, in the foreground a large red fish, in the back ground a red and white one. Both have red iris and black pupils. Discus fish are almost round with a flattened body.

A wild type discus, the body is a brown green colour with black stripes running vertically along the body. The iris is red with a black pupil.

Discus are a wonderfully example of evolution. Shaped like a flattened disc they are members of the cichlid family. Native to the Amazon region there are a number of species, but a lot of aquarium species are hybrids.

A pair of pearl gourami, the male has wonder silver and gold colours with a black stripe running along his side. Long feelers are extended to help him feel his way around.

Pearl gourami, an aquarium favourite for a reason. Pretty peaceful, will thrive in a wide range of conditions, and are stunning in the right light.
Yes I know the male's fins are a bit torn, he's healing up nicely, this picture was when I had just got him.

Any other fish on here? Just me, also willing to talk to dogs, although not cats. Cats and fish do not always get on.
