There is nothing random about those pics Joe .
They are special , any way you look at them .

What else can I say or do here , except this :

[sayid]

Joe you are doing an excellent job with these beautiful monsters ,well done .
Filip very funny video.

[Jenene]

They are stunning Joe! I love how healthy they look. What are you feeding them? You must really have a great routine going. Great pics too! Phone or Nikon? I still struggle for good pics. Even after watching Al's tips and tricks last May. I need to get one of the remote flashes but it helps to have fish as gorgeous as yours...
Filip hilarious clip. Good to see you pop in!

Thanks Phil. I Planted myself in front of the tank with my favorite beverage....a glass of scotch, and happy to see how far these guys have come. I truly get lots of enjoyment watching them.

Thanks Sayid. We both know how good the stock was to begin with, and wishing you the same results with your group, and those to come. Good luck with your new project my friend.

Thanks Jenene. You and I both know that hard work pays off, and you get back what you put in. Feeds are very minimal at the moment with a mix of granules ( Black worm pellets/Discus Gran D-50 Plus), frozen blood worms, beef heart, and freeze dried black worms. They receive 2 small portions of granules throughout the day, and also two small alternating portions of the others mixed in as well. Feeding has definitely declined as they have become adults, and any extra food gets left at the bottom of the tank. Water change routine has not changed being one third water change every four to five days, straight out of the tap with a little prime added in. Photos where taken from my samsung mobile phone, as i am yet to work out how to get a good shot of hem with my Nikon.


Thanks for the interest and kind words everyone

Your fish look amazing Joey! I NEED TO GET SOME!!!! Maybe if I ordered spotted snakeskin/ penang eruption discus through aquarium industries I might get some from that breeder. I would for my discus to even look half as good as yours. Keep up the amazing work.

I've had these two have 5 or 6 goes at producing wrigglers, and was about to give up on them. They laid another batch of eggs last Friday evening, and I left home for a four day trip on Saturday.
I was very excited when i returned home today to find a dozen or so wrigglers still attached to the cone. They have since disappeared but I'm really happy and excited to know that they are a proven pair, and that i now have something to work with....the fun begins.
