No need for all the fancy stuff. Here is a pic from 2 mo. ago. They are larger and more beautiful now.

    Thanks for the reply! Yes I will definitely get a 125 once they grow out. Question - what is a 12t tank?

    Al, was this posted as a sticky in the beginner area? It's a good and concise tutorial and could be also utilized as the first page of your one day to be published book "Discussing Discus: Do's and Don'ts".
