Keep 'em coming. Its always fun to see other set-ups and fish especially a pair with fry. I never get tired of seeing those little ugly buggers and how they interact with the parents.

Really nice Josie!!

[Sandz]

Very nice! You look like you are having a ball! Are you water changing those tanks or are you a keeper who keeps the tank level about as tall as the fish to limit wandering from fry?

Oh no sorry it was during a water change......Josie

[Sandz]

Ah thanks! I have seen it done many places where the 20gal tanks are stem piped with 75% or less of the tank being used but either way great pics! Also great discus!

I do it old school only because I'm a clean freak and each tank gets individual attention. When each tank get that attention I believe you can observe the occupants better to make sure they are eating, active and healthy. We were going to make it automatic with valves and refill spouts for easy water changing but I decided I would rather do it the old way. We have two central systems and the rest of the tanks are on individual filtrations.......Josie
