    Fantastic fish room and beautiful healthy discus, definitely making me jealous! Do you cook up some special food for these guys considering your culinary background?

    Thank you, Eric !
    Making their food is high on my list this summer. Beef heart mix & possibly a try at my own beef heart/black worm flake. I believe i can cut out some of the binders that make flakes so dirty. Believe i can anyways, lol, we shall see.

    Just built and added a shelf for 3 @ 20L's to the mix. This will house 3 types of shrimp. A breeding colony of each blue dream, CBS, & bloody mary shrimp.

    Each tank will also house a different type of bucephalandra.

    Other recent action in the fish room. F1 Leopoldi Angels from wild collected parents.

    These guys are in this tank awaiting shipping to happy new homes next week.

    Learning to artificially raise is proving fun.

    Hi Ryan, mighty fine looking fish and fry. Is there anything you do not have in your fishroom. LOL Those F1 Leopoldi Angels should sell like hotcakes. They are not easy to find. Best of luck with artificially raising fry, not an easy task.

    really awesome looking fish room Ryan. I noticed as a comment under one of your photos you mentioned that each tank will also house a different species of buce. I LOVE BUCE!! I bought some a while back as a trial and plugged it into my 10gallon cherry shrimp tank and it has taken off. such a slow grower but really the most beautiful of aquatic plants. I love the deep blues and greens of the different species that I have and have forgotten their name. I recognize your picture of the unfinished scaped discus tank from somewhere, I must follow you on Instagram also. Do you sell your buce??
