    Tonight they got a 100% water change, I wanted them on their sides so I could measure them. Measured the solid and the largest striated. The solid was right at 4 inches SL and the largest was 4.5 inches SL. The rest vary between that.

    I'm a fan of "stripe" out of the 6. Not to derail but you plan on getting into wilds again this season?

    Thanks Paul, I like stripe too. It was shimmying and pecking at the sponge yesterday. Not sure about this season. Thinking maybe a few heckels but not really sure. Trying to not go as deep as I went before.

    Very nice Pat. Just curious how often and how large will water changes be and also their feeding routine?

    Thanks Joe, they are currently in a 40 breeder for QT and will be going in a 75 after QT. In the 40 they are getting about an 80% water change each evening. I treat them like wilds in that I leave them a couple inches to swim in before refilling. If they were real wilds I would leave enough water for them to remain upright. I feed about three or four times a day and I do not power feed.

    To much discus drama; have two fish shimmying on opposite sides of the tank, Fork and Stripe (suspected females) and the largest (suspected male) is shacking up with Stripe with both peaking at the sponge filter....sex and gang behaviors. Who needs TV lol.
