    A very lovely cross, and I wish you luck with them. Are you going with your famous seafood mix? What is your water change setup like? How big are they?
    Thanks brotha. I have 10 in a 75. My water changes are minimal right now. I'm only cleaning up waste from the bottom and replacing about 10% of the water daily. I'm currently only feeding the breeder's mix and frozen bloodworms until my grinder arrives. I'm also waiting for a shipment of FDBWs from AL and I'm also waiting for some good flake from AngelsPlus. The fish are about 3-3.5" in length at moment.

    For sure Barb! It's great! Hopefully I'll get them all grown so they can use your cones one day. Hope all is well.

    Great looking group of Discus Eddie and happy to see your back in action. These guys seem to carry that patented Wattley green/blue sheen we no longer see much these days.

    Thanks Ralph. Yeah, the breeder had some killer blues. I wasn't in the market for spending $400 each fish though. He also had a nice type of wild spotted F types that he's been breeding a while. Those were upward of $500 each. Lol

    Amazing group! As a newcomer it's nice to have someone with your experience to learn from. If I may? There was another member who posted pictures of a Wattley x Cobalt cross, also very beautiful. I believe he said they also were from Japan from a breeder named Sadaaki Hachiya? Are your group from his as well?

    That is exactly who I got them from. Do you know who the other member is? That would be cool if that person was near my location.
