    Thanks Jack!
    Yeah all I'm trying to do is growout but I'm still a little afraid to take the next step and build a display tank, Maybe when they're done growing.

    I use a Nikon J1, I love this camera, I'm not even a prosumer but it helps me take some awesome shots.
    Here's one of my favorites

    Haha, Nice! I meant it as Pro/Consumer the half way in between the way camera websites talk. But Google spit out some "production by consumer" not sure what that is. Anyway, Thanks!

    Thanks Matt!!

    I make a Beef heart mix (John's recipe) and Al's FDBW (Fantastic stuff) I feed BH and DFBW in the morning and just a bit of BH at night.

    can you post "johns recipe" if it feeds w/o putting tons of debris in water?

    i made my own bhmix, went simple, heart, spirulina wafers, and various high quality flakes, but then i feed it, it makes a LOT of particles in the water.

    thinking its the spirulina wafer, but not certain. but i'm certain it plugs my filter socks

    oh and with a planted tank....besides keeping it clean a big issue with a real tank is you need other fish to help with the algae, then you run the risk of bringing it parasites.

    i lost a discus a couple weeks ago because of that.

    Jack,
    Here's the thread:
    http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...ght=how+i+make

    I think the secret is lots of shrimp, from what I can tell its almost half shrimp which holds it together. Mine falls apart too but it sinks, it does not float all over.

    So sorry about your losses.

    My wife has me put banana in it, that really seems to hold it together.

    mine holds together, it fact it held together enough the other night to remove it and put back in freezer. but some particulate floats off of it continuously. maybe the flake that i added.

    i found that feeding the flake was a huge PIA, more went through the filter then through the fish, so i combined with beef heart.

    i'll save off this recipe for next time. thanks.

    on a related topic, was just at this huge fish store in lancaster, that pet place. no discus, and their frozen section was mostly emtpy. but they did have pricing for frozen beefheart. about 6 bucks for 4 oz. that would get expensive FAST. my LFS don't have frozen beefheart anyway.

    Here's a video of my BH mix in water.
    It's John's recipe plus cod and paprika but no venison. It sinks and doesn't cloud the water. It does break up but it's not a problem in a bare bottom.

    thanks for posting vid.
    from what i can see, its similar with how it holds together but i have a bit more particles in the waters, however with a planted there is more contrast so there is more particles visible

    my mix was this
    1lb heart (or maybe it was 8oz can't find note)
    1oz kens brine flake
    1oz kens beef flake
    1oz kens color flake
    1oz hikari spirulina discs

    as the stuff heats up in the blender....well it makes an interesting aroma!

    i realized after i bought a bunch of flake, feeding it in flake form wasn't going to work out, so this seemed to work.
