    I'm glad that they are positioned only in your your tank Brian and not all around your bedroom . The mistery on how did they get there will remain unsolved though

    I'm not sure if they ate any or not. I began cleaning them out as soon as I saw them. It seems they are all gone now!!!

    Me too, but trust me, I thought every itch while I was sleeping was an ant for 2 days

    I believe so, even the Turq's. I've always liked the high body's as long as they are symmetrical... The Turq in the first photo seems pretty even all the way around...

    They all seem healthy and are growing but at times they act like I'm out to destroy them. They all turn towards me when I enter the room to feed them, but one will turn away, then another follows the first, then another, then another, and all the sudden they all go crashing into the sides. I don't get it, but as soon as I drop the food in, the devour it.

    I finally got the electrical rewired in the fish room and today I'll install insulation and begin hanging sheet rock. Hopefully I can get things finished up and get the tanks all running. Maybe if they can see other discus they will settle down a bit???

    I call this one "Smalls". Its healthy and has good shape, but it's just smaller than the rest

    There's not much to add this week, other than the ants tried to make a come-back. This time, they brought along some stink bugs I didn't know stink bugs fed on ants I cannot allow my bedroom to be a haven for bugs, so they were all cleared out. Hopefully for good this time because I found the source. I've been doing some landscaping and siding work in front of the house and I found an ant hill. I guess they found a way through a very small hole near the foundation...

    Here's a Friday shot during breakfast...
