    Tim, because of you and those like you who take the time to journal and document with exceptional photography that we all learn in great detail how to raise Discus.

    I do not have the heart to cull any of those that I have raised from spawn. I even caught a bat in my house once and rather than smack it with a broom I caught it and let it go outside. Same with mice, the ones that survive the trap, get let go in the field, or the nasty neighbor's yard late at night.

    I have no problem with culling, i belief that if you want to breed you have to make the best fry possible

    Absolutely stunning fish Tim!

    It's interesting you noting that one of the young turns black sometimes. In a group I'm growing out I have one that does that sometimes and he's the joint largest! It seems to be a mood thing because 30 seconds later he can be perfectly light in colour again. He did it a lot around the 2-3" mark, but he still does it occasionally and goes submissive to the others even though he's now 5.5", I've no idea why.
