12/27 update. New Home!

[calihawker]

First off let me wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe holidays!:D

I got the fish settled in their new home today. Everything went as planned.:) I took measurements on all the fish. The smallest is 5-1/2 and the largest is just under 6-1/4. three of them are between 5-3/4 and 5-7/8 and one is just over 6".

Here's some pics just after I moved them.

Steve, you have some real beauties there! And I like the green in the tank now too! What are the plants planted into in the pot?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you Steve. They are looking awesome! Love the look of the new tank and I am sure they like the added space. I am glad the move when smoothly. Very nicely done.

Man Oh Man are they gorgeous. Best of luck with them.

Thanks everyone!!!

I sat and watched them for awhile and it was funny how they huddled in the one corner afraid to explore. They became quite agressive with each other at one point so it was lights out. This morning they seemed perfectly at home.:)

Barb, the large one is an amazon sword and the 2 small ones are Cryptocoryne wendtii. The one tied to the wood is another cryp I think but I don't remember which one.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the grow out tank. Any suggestions? Hmmm...:fish::fish::fish:

Hey Steve, tank looks good and your discus look great.
You might keep that tank available for fry growout.
By the time this contest is over you might need it. :)
Take care,
Bill

My thoughts exactly!

Yeah that's for sure! Thanks for the overflow, it's working great. I'm right on to the next project though, a wet/dry sump and complete overhaul of my display.
