Thanks Keith. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. They came from Mike Beals at about 3 1/2". I was really hoping these two would be male and female and pair off. I'm not a huge fan of high body. Out of the 5 Altum C and Altum SS these guys turned out pretty round instead of high body.

That's a good question and unfortunately one I don't have the answer to yet. I had 5 growing out in a 75 and came down to the fish room a couple of weeks ago and found eggs on the glass with these two guarding them. I took a chance and put them in a 20. Once again they layed the eggs while I wasn't there so I didn't see the tubes and didn't see who was laying them. I'll catch them another time and figure it out.

I'm a classic round discus guy myself, so I hear you Larry. Hope things continue to go well with them for you.

I like these Larry, especially the Altum Carnation. Which one was primarily fanning the eggs?

You may be able to grow them out in time for NADA. I might take a couple off your hands if my travel has settled down.
