Very nice!
Hey All sorry I haven’t posted in a while not sure I posted much in 2017 but anyways last Thanksgiving I decided to stop by Hans’s and get 11 or actually 10 silver pigeons Hans through 11th for free. I got them at 2 1/2” now there about 4”. I still have my other fish too by the way.

Very nice!
Here’s a 6 week update, haven’t taken any measurements but they’re a tad bigger, just power feeding and water changes!06F43279-F860-4A02-95AB-11225ABB3133.jpg
Those are very nice! I just bought 13 2 1/2 inchers from Hans the other day. I selected each one a different strain including a silver pigeon. Hope he turns out nice like yours.
Thanks Sean! I really appreciate that. I love stendkers so much and Hans is a great guy.
I have to agree both of your comments. Hans was super to deal with on email and on the phone. I also love there discus.
Dinner time!

You have great eye ratio on these fish. Awesome job!

That is an excellent group, can't wait to see the final transformation on those. Nice shape and cleaner that many White Butterflies I have seen around.
Breeding , interest and goals Wilds Heckels and Cuipeuas and a few Domestics pairs with occasional fry as well as Angels fancy Plecos , corys and shrimps.
Thanks SidJones and Pardal! My first group had a lot of ups and downs, 2014-2018 still have some of them but now that I’ve got the hang of it I thought I’d try a single type grow out tank.
Here’s a June update65E5829A-FB21-45CF-9FB0-4B6C98907B4B.jpg
Again they look amazing!
Hey Geoff these are amazing looking fish...I posted on your other thread as well...you obviously know what you're doing with raising discus so I mean no disrespect, but I have a question; I just watched your "feeding time" youtube vid...it seems there is a lot of food in the tank...can you tell me how to gauge how much to feed discus? Is it like other fish where you feed what they will consume in 2-3 minutes?
At what point will you move them into a bigger tank?
Thanks mate,
Danny
You’re too kind Daniel! I’ll reply in the other thread, I should keep that one interesting for the next 2 months!
Looks good on the update! Keep em comin! My silver is about 3 1/2 inches now, love seen yours.
