Woot!!!!!!!!!! Ps sometimes a really sharp knife isn't good for cleaning fish. The knife will go through the bones leaving you with more work as a somewhat duller knife will pass over the bones
Ok so the other night after I stopped showing my pairs the picture of Brandon's lovely pair with fry on their back, I decided to try a different approach. It was obvious that Barry White, lowrider oldies and Barry Manilow were not working. Actually I had one fish just spin in circles when Barry Manilow started playing. Or maybe that was me. No, no I was the one covering my ears as my dog started to howl. Anyway I ranted and a raved and then I got control of myself. I decided to take a walk and think of a plan to get them interested in spawning. I thought to myself babying them is not working, sleep deprivation is not working, Adult discus movies were not working. The mood music and strobe lights all for naught. Time to take drastic measures. Time to tell them a bedtime story with props. I settled on my little stool with a warm cup of hot chocolate. I looked at each and every fish making sure they were all looking at me and I began the story. It went a little something like this
HOW TO DEBONE A FISH
First I am going to need a sharp knife like this one...
I honestly think I scared the heck out of them.
First it was the Cobalts
Then The Abstainers got into the act
Walter's Checkerboards
And then the T-Aquas RTs
Oh and the Voyeur and Gidget are cleaning their cone. The sad part about it all is I do not believe the water was right in any of the tanks, but hey they spawned. Sometimes you just need switch it up.

You have a true gift Mishka...the discus whisperer. You might be able to market that here on simply.
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Beautiful fish. A discus zen master huh?
Discus drive me crazy.

Hopefully the water conditions won't make as big of an impact as you think, I'm sure you're getting bored living vicariously through me.

Maybe is the low pressure system you have out your window, most ladies get romantic when it going to rain
Brandon I will just have someone do it for me. I was just trying to go for the Karen Black look in the Trilogy of Terror....lol
Yes the gift of looking like a maniac to my fish…lol
Thank you. Definitely not a master at much of anything except maybe looking like a maniac ……..lol
It did not make a difference to the Piwo Cobalts at all. Wrigglers everywhere. And you are right I was tired of living vicariously through you and Brandon’s pictures. Now let’s get fingers crossed for attachement.
Ok. I might need to look more into this because I think I might even be like that….lol
Aquatic - Aquarian. Yep that is me….lol
You can put on the feathers and try the rain dance next time.
Ok we've got some issues going on over here the house of Geh-Tao. I am in shock. I know have 6 pairs on eggs. The most shocking part of all of this is The Voyeur made runs over the eggs. I am thinking I need to apply for discus welfare. Do you think they might have government bbs instead of cheese?
Walter this view is for you!! Your lady Red was going at it when I got home.
Geez Mishka, you have one rocking place.
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
That's one heck of a low pressure front.

I do not even know what to say. I just ............................ need to suck up some of those eggs!!
