Discus are here!

Finally!
I swear he's smiling. I got them a few days ago, they are 2.5-3 inches big. They are just starting to not be totally afraid of me, and they love frozen blood worms. I have not yet tried to get them to notice floating food, so I make the frozen cubes sink with lead weights (I know, I'm bad). I want to eventually get some flake food into their diet, but so far it's just some fast sinking pellets, slow-sinking Tetra color bits, and frozen blood worms of two varieties (one plain and the other with brine shrimp and other creatures). I have a boat load of flying foxes in the tank, and so far they don't seem to bother the discus too much. They are a little wild, and I will move some or most or all out if I have to.
