They look so calm up until FDBW lol... love the video. I will have to update mines in a month or two so you can see how big they are getting too. They are eating machine and happy to say they are showing signs of growth already. Must be the breeder's care because your fish are never shy and eats anything you give at them. Anyway keep the updates coming.
they look great! your doing a great job! keep it up!
Growing strong! They look nice!
Thanks guys I'm lovin the stripes that are starting to show and those eyes are to die for LOL.......Josie
Looking great! I'm back :) Any pricing info? Hopefully going to get my first tank started up in about a month and I'm trying to see how much it's going to cost me. Thanks!
Those are some nice looking Discus! I hope to make it up there to see you and your Discus early next year!
you are very close to me just let me know when you want to come take a look at the hatchery.......JosieQuote:

Thanks Josie for taking the time to put this vid out.
I do the exam same but becomes a task wiping down my 30" tall tank. The rest are 24 and 18 iches deep which are somewhat easier.
I like your syphon hose...is it 1.5" dia?
As usual, those discus look great.

Ok this is them eating enjoy.............Josie

you know I have tried several but I don't really like using a pump for cleaning unless its the sump. I do it the old way with the self syphon and a garbage can it seems to get cleaner that way....JosieQuote:

What's the difference in 9 bar and 12 bar? Are they all going to be Scorpion or just some?
I think we are going to have some blue diamonds in the mix which is cool with me.... You should see the PE spawn you would think I put one fry in from all my discus thats a mixed up group it will be amazing to see what we get.....JosieQuote:

Ok guys today I moved them into a 75g tank I will make a video soon so you guys can see how they are doing.....Thanks Josie
I will doing the same with mines this weekend. They have out grown the 29gal. I cannot wait to see how big they have gotten. My biggest is around 4-4.5" from noise to end of tail. Your's I'm betting is average between 4.5-5".Quote:
