Challenge Wake Up!
Hello simply,
Here are some shots from this morning when the lights were turned on. These pictures were before their morning w/c. Everything has been going well with these guys. Absolutely no problems at all. Feedings are still 7 to 8 x daily, three feedings are b/h or seafood mix, 4 are flake/pellets and one treat of white worms,blood worms,red wigglers,brine shrimp,ect... Water temp is 86 deg,ph is 7.0,Ms 440. Water changes are 80% every morning and 10 gal spot cleaning in the evening. It is hard to believe these guys are out growing their 100 gal tank, as it seems a bit tight in there at times. I will not be moving them though. I have grow some large discus in tight quarters and with clean food and heavy w/c it does not seem to be a problem. All seem to be growing well and adding thickness. I love their color which is hard to capture in photo's but it is a beautiful sight when the sun is shinning in on them. They have a pinkish hue in sun light. I have decided not to add any red color enhancers to there food mixes. I am very pleased with the solid yellow color and want to keep it that way. That decision may hurt me in the final judging but i am willing to take that risk. I think they are priceless. I hope you enjoy the update.
Kenny

The consistency in their amazing shapes speaks a lot about their quality. Not to take anything away from Kenny's hard work.. that's a one hell of a group to start out with.
Keep up the good work.

Re: Challenge Wake Up!
They look wonderful! I can't believe how uniform they are. Looks like they are getting pretty thick too. Excellent job with them.

Re: Challenge Wake Up!
Great job. That last picture really shows how thick they are. Are most of yours solids? I can only see one that has some spotting on the body. Everyone else seem to have 1-2 that have partially spotted bodies.
