Just amazing Forrest!!! Waiting for you to post each set is like waiting for Kenny to post the incoming shipment pics from you. lol. Everything in your hatchery is so organized and spacious. AEL's look amazing and are my new favorites. The non-PB white butterfly strain is looking good, hope to see them at Kenny's place in the near future. Keep up the good work!!

[Discus-n00b]

Wow, WB's without the PB gene....you've peaked my intrest. :D

Those Turqs in 6-9 are AMAZING!

[diveshooter]

Thanks for posting all those great photos Forrest, it's like taking a virtual tour of your facility.

Very nice, I REALLY like the shape on these!!!!

[Elite Aquaria]

Forrest,

Amazing looking fish. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the final results of the White Butterfly without the pigeon gene. I remember talking about this with you a few years ago.

[DiscusKev]

Very amazing.

There are more favorites, but don't want to repost them and 'spam' your thread, there are too many favorites :D

Those non-PB based WB looks good.

Again, thanks for sharing.

[forrest]

hi to all,
thank u every one for the comments.

these r the hibody carnation turq from the previous shipment to kenny or april, i kept 2 good ones and also some of the left over as u can see at those at the back without much pattern.

[forrest]

Love to see pics of your place again Forest! Many fish I'd like to have:p

Have to ask, post #14, third pic, is that an albino cobalt pair or albino White butterfly?

hi ED,
one of them r albino cobalt.

best rgds,
forrest.

[forrest]

hi Ben n Matt,
those r golden panda( golden cap), here is ht epair and their fries, i ve found that feeding them alot of tetra bit may bring a very much different result while young, but im not sure how they will become while they grow up.

[hedut]

I want those classic next Feb 2011:D:D:D

[jimmyjoe]

Very nice tour Forrest, can't wait for more Forrest discus to invade the States LOL. Really the fish you produce is a great asset to the discus breeders here in the states. Keep up the excellent work you're accomplishing over there, and keep the great discus coming to us. Didn't want to totally forget after seeing all your beautiful discus but nice fish rooms I want to move in also, save me a space next to Kenny. LMAO Jim in Ohio

[halo_demo]

Seeing all those beautiful Fish is making me want to spend my student loan money on things other than books.. I mean.. who needs books when you can have another tank full of Awesome looking discus.. right?

[Eddie]

Ah...probably not. Imagine how much more discus you will get to buy, when you finally finish with all those books. Stay in school! :angel:

[halo_demo]

Yeah.. I know..:( But.. I could try and buy some USED books, and maybe add just one :D..... *cough* and get a bigger tank.. *cough*

Seriously though, Beautiful Discus

[Jennie]

Better listen to pappa!

[antpal01]

Hey Forrest. the fish ands set up are truly impressive! Thanks for sharing and makeing me want more ( i already preordered with Kenny for Sept!!!). :-)

Quick quesitons - I noticed that some of the tanks had green water. Was that some type of supplement or routine maintenance treatment? If there's a best practice, I would love to emulate it!

thx,
Ant

[Ryan]

Forrest, nice setup! I really like the Golden Caps. I'm interested to see them as they grow. I've always wanted a ghost variety of discus. I'm also interested in the WB, although I do love the PB-based ones with the orange/yellow streaks on the face.

As always, all of the fish are beautiful.
