F2 Curipera Blood Red Discus and Face Spotted Eruptions

Hi Everyone,


I am starting a small discus business here in Virginia. My first batch of F2 Curipera Blood Red and Face Spotted Eruptions will arrive at the end of February. They will go through a one-month quarantine and will become available for sale once they have completed the quarantine successfully. The Blood Red Curipera are 4.5 inches, and the Eruptions are 5 inches. Please let me know if you're interested in purchasing or if you want to come by and see the fish in person.


Thank You and Best Regards,


Sabih Usmani

Would you do this with Apistogramma's or Ram's?

Put multiple fish (6-8) in the same tank.  Not sure yet which species.  Tank is a 96-gallon custom, heavily planted, some driftwood, a light current population of small fish, I would add more rocks & wood to increase hiding places and territories.   It's a show tank and breeding is not my goal.

Yes, I would do this with a 96 gallon tank. Sounds like there is enough space, hiding places, and lines of sight broken up. It will depend on the fish and their temperament though.

Alan Levitt articles from 1973

Some of you might find these articles interesting- I sure did. Alan Levitt recently shared these with me and I'm passing them along for others to read. In the early 1970s, Alan was president of the Potomac Valley Guppy Club. His biggest accomplishment was changing its name to the Potomac Valley Aquarium Society which broadened the groups of people who might be interested in joining.
