Good Lord... the size difference
Big Brown is a dude! (With a LOT of girth...)

Tank and discus look great Elliot!
Thanks Daniel! I'm even looking at plant growth since mid-January and they're definitely growing. In about a month I can split java ferns and anubias again in order to start spreading onto wood (filling gaps). LEDs are good but nothing beat T-5s for plant growth (just too hot with T-5s... switched about 7 years ago... but LEDs still grow them... just about 35-40% slower although my anubias do better with LEDs).
Can't figure it out... the big guy and sexy Heckle Chica spawned again and above average on protection of eggs... then at 60 hr mark, "poof"... gone. Had to happen between 2-4pm today. Not many fungused eggs at all... but usually by then I can see black dots in eggs but cannot confirm on this one or the other spawn (dark wood and slightly shaded). I'm shining flashlight and putting netting around eggs. If I see black dots in eggs on next spawn then I'm doing whatever it takes to get little ones one way or another

Dad fanning eggs. Starting to finally have spawns with wigglers... yet most eggs seem to not get fertilized.

Again, I'm not keeping little guys in showtank much longer. 1 to 2 more weeks... until I can mature my sump then take down canister underneath cabinet (putting another tank underneath for growout). I know I can seed my sump and be fine much sooner, but I just want to be safe (and still seeded sump of course).
Lots of green hair algae because I've been violating the amount of time to run lighting (I just LOVE watching them at night!). Started turning on my blue LEDs in order to get my lillies to grow taller so that they block out lighting.
Still don't have the wood quite the way I want it...

I put a thermometer in sideways with black rubber gaskets exactly 1 inch apart in order to get a ruler for growth of little guys in the meantime. Smallest is in the pic below. About 1/16 shy of 2". Waiting to see others get that close but I'd say the biggest 2 about 3 on the dot. The others are really uniform in size... estimate 2.5" for each of them.

Uggghhhhh... I thought my sideways-pic-posting problem was over! I'm sorry! I always post using my phone's (android... Samsung) gallery and I never had a problem until O/A 2 years ago :(
They are getting some color Elliot :D
Pat
Yes Ma'am they are ;)
I was also messing around with image posting on here... unedited pics I have to rotate counterclockwise once and it'll be good. But any edited pics (e.g., cropped, resized, etc) will do anything but post rightside up for me :huh:
I'll still count it as a victory :drummer:
