You may have seen my 10 month olds on Eddie's thread about the Blues in the Photo Gallery. Well I'm posting the pics here too for future reference. The father was a BD the female a BSS.

Flopper's, not bad, I like it. Yea, lack of water is longer an excuse for not doing a WC.

Thanks Melissa and Vera, this has certainly been a fun line to play with. They could be a little more cooperative in producing fry, but maybe I should be careful what I wish for.

I just looked at your pics again Keith. Gosh I love those fish.

Me too! :)

I keep looking at Dan's awesome new line of fish thinking wouldn't some of those be great to have. Then I look at my growouts and realize they're nearing spawning age and what the heck would I do if I bought fish from Dan and then suddenly had a couple more pairs spawning. I don't really want to go from 6 tanks to 10 or 12 right now. Guess I'll restrain myself on fish buying...at least for now.

Keith, maybe when the time comes you and Bill can swap/loan some fish around for breeding purposes.

Northwoods Discus...or maybe he is not that close.

He's actually about 6 hours away, but that's a half closer than my wife's grandchildren. Bill actually sent 3 of his cobalts over with her a couple of months ago to put with my 4 mixed blues that I'm growing out hopefully for breeding purposes. I haven't gotten around to taking pictures of them yet, but there's a link to a picture of their father at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

Keith, he is nice. Maybe it is time to post some pictures of those grow outs. How old are they now?
