Brian's 2018 grow out challenge...

[snxtif]

I split some up today and put them into a new home with my Curipera's. The Snakes now know what it's like to swim with the big fish

Sorry if I missed it but what is the size of the giant on the left most???

Looks amazing.

Well, I got the tank ready, got the camera on the phone and tape measure ready, I netted him and the phone rang... I measured him about 6 weeks ago and he was a little over 7".

I always hate measuring. I rarely position it right anyway as anyone can tell by the measurements earlier in this post.

It was a spammer anyway, lol...

He looks every bit of 10 feet long to me

Those wondering what effect darker backgrounds have on certain discus can see it here. These guys have been dark to totally black from the day I put them in their new tank with the imitation rock background and black sides. The bottom is the same as other tanks. And the two I put in with the Curipera's were back to normal color immediately after being moved. Interesting...

Wow, big diff. What color scheme do you prefer mate?

[jeep]

I like the looks of the new background and sides but I like the looks of the discus with the blue background. I'll either change this tank to blue or maybe swap tanks with the tangerines. The problem is I need help because this tank was made with 1/2" thick glass and weighs a ton. One issue I have with the new tank is the elcheapo hood and led lights that came with it. They are so bright white that I have to scrub algae off every square inch daily.

That monster curipera makes the others look like juvies.

This will give an idea on the size of this monster. The SS is 5 1/2". The challenge fish have a bit of growing to do. I put what I think are 2 females in with him. I'd love to breed in some size into them...
