Feb 23 challenge update

[acroken]

All has been well with the challenge discus. They are coming of age and wanting to spawn no matter how much i try and distract and discourage them. I have two pair so far laying eggs every other week or with atmospheric pressure changes. I have not changed anything with my routine since the start of this challenge, yes that means +/- 280 water changes. I have been using aged water a deg or so higher then tank water to hold back on the spawning stimulation. Water quality is perfect. I have been feeding freeze dried black worm, flakes, pellets and frozen bw or krill. i just started to get them back on beef heart this week but they have been a little reluctant accepting it. I will get them back on the bh mix as their staple food soon. Not too much else going on with them at this point. I can not wait until this challenge is over and i can pull pairs to see what the offspring turn out to be:D

Breath taking discus you have there Kenny, I would love to see them in person but I'm sure I would be their for the whole day :D

All of your discus is huge and they are all beautifully shaped; I like the red outline on the dorsal+anal fin.

Amazing that you got two pairs already, but in a way it would probably be too troublesome at this time. As always, looking forward for future updates.

All the best,
Kevin

There's Simply nothing left to say that hasn't been said, can't wait to see the fry from those budding pairs!

[Jhhnn]

Great job with 'em. The forehead view tells the whole story- nice and thick, as does the side view definition of their musculature...

I'm not much for albinos, but those are probably the best cared for I've ever seen...

[Chad Hughes]

Absolutely stunning Kenny! Well done my frined!

Best wishes!

KevinThanks Kev. it is hard to see all those eggs wasted. i have patience to wait it out. The red outline is pretty cool looking. In day light it is killer but impossible to photograph(at least for me it is) with all back ground light. I think i am going to shot a another video during day light to see how it come out.


Wow, they look amazing! You have done a phenominal job with them! Glad to hear that you are recovering.

Chris i am getting there. i know my gf is looking forward to me doing the w/c's again. will not be too much longer. Thanks Chris


Wow, Good Job Kenny. Fish look fat and thick with round body shape, I love them all:D:D:D:DHendri, i think the males look pretty tough. they must be hitting the weight room when i am not there lol. Thanks Hendri


Amazing group Kenny! They are all stunt doubles of each other, symmetrically perfect! WOW


All the best!

Eddie i have been looking at them for some time now trying to figure out which one i am going to select for the challenge. that is not going to be so easy. I think i will let them decide at the end who wants to be photographed that day:D Thank for everything Eddie
