Frank,

I hate to tell you, but you are way under filtered on that tank! I believe you can squeeze a few more in there! J/K J/K! LOL

Now that is a grow out tank that takes no chances!

Good job, those are going to be some very nice discus.

Good Job.

The babies appear very similar in size. Great job of raising them.

So, What's the secret? Large water changes?

They are looking great frank. ;D

11-21-2002, 11:21 PM

WOW Frank... they look great!!! I hope I get this far!!! Do you count age from day swimming or day born??? When did you remove them from the parents? I am a newbie with fry, so could use all the information I can get. :book: :Keep posting pictures!!!!! They are fabulous!!!! I am just counting down the days and keepin' my fingers crossed!!!!! :juggle:

fcdiscus

11-22-2002, 12:01 AM

Hey Weezie, I start them as far as age from day born and still on cone. I figure the start of BBS from free swimming- on the fifth day. In their case, I removed the parents when they were about 2 weeks free swimming, because the mother was still smallish. Usually, I like to leave them about 3 weeks, but it all depends on the parents. Thanks for the nice compliments, and I will continue to post some pictures of their development until around Jan 1st, when I will be selling them. ;) Frank
