    Thanks Mishka - if by the last red you're talking about the same fish that's in my signature line, I like that one too.

    Thanks Pat, as zippy as those fish are now when I toss in heart the music just seemed to fit.

    Thanks Mike. I like some of them more than others, but I REALLY like some of them.

    I'm glad to be seeing them eat like that to Bill, thanks.

    Nothing like Daddy's home cooking Brandon.

    Thanks on both counts Allwin. I thaw the beefheart about 15 minutes before feeding it, or however long it is until I remember it's sitting on counter.

    I'm a little frustrated with their growth rate, but still loving their coloration and diversity.

    Welcome back Mark, I've been thinking of you and wondering how you were getting along.

    Life has been keeping me busy but I still have been enjoying my fish, I still have tanks full of angels but I think I am ready to put down some money for some more discus and move in that direction. Now I have to decide what I want. I like those snow leopards a lot but I know I want some discus with the albino gene in them.

    I am looking at stocking a 100 gallon with all new discus.

    The discus I already have are big enough to breed but have not shown any interest.

    The discus I got from Bill are more brown then red, I really like that red color so that was a little disappointing.

    I am heading to Boulder in early October and have been checking craigs list but with all of the flooding I don't expect to find any there. My son lives in Nederland and I think it will be a challenge to get there. I will probably order something from one of the sponsors.

    I have two goldens that are about the same size as yours, I would like to put them in a tank with discus that would make good pairs. Any suggestions on what type of discus to breed them with?

    Mark you can look for some Marlboro Reds possibly? Or a yellow/brown based discus. But it sounds like you want reds or a red base?

    I would like reds or a red base but I am thinking that If I added things to the food to bring out the red then it may turn the golden to a red color. Any thoughts?

    I might pair them up with Blushing Reds or San Merahs from Kenny if you want red. You could do Fire Red's I guess, but PB's just aren't my thing. I've never used any color enhancers of any kind, so I really can't speak to what the goldens might do color wise with red color enhancers.
