I have no problem mixing even breeding, the
key is not to have any infectious disease going around.

Well I made the move today. Added my weakest Hans to the 4 Kenny’s I got a month ago. Hoping this goes well!! Also hoping this doesn’t go the other way and the Kenny’s discus get sick. Never thought of that before I made the move. So my fingers are crossed.4871E625-A310-462D-8140-6E082E575786.jpg. The Hans is a white leopard that was way behind on growing. It’s eating and solid but does seem to have stopped growing.

Day one the little guy is doing good and seems to like his new tank mates .DE9BCC40-BD26-4272-8F38-F85AB15D9276.jpg

They look really nice bro.

hmm, this is all very interesting. I only have my original eight I bought that were locally bred from Piwow stock, so I haven't run into this issue yet.

It seems so odd to me that seemingly healthy fish from two different sources are so incompatible. You would think as long as the fish are healthy and are disease free it would be an issue.

fish look good, iminit, i hope all continues to go well.

Day 5 and all is well. Little guy was hardly eating before with the rest of the Hans discus. But now is eating regular. 4B4A2A8F-871C-4152-A892-CCCF955318C4.jpgEB76A9EF-8BA3-4F70-95A4-7B4663FB2086.jpg

His eye looks more confident than the picture before.

Well it’s been over a week and all is good. What’s the consensus? Can I move them or should I give them another week. My plan is to move them into the 75. Move some tanks around closing some and putting the new 125 where the 75 is and getting that tank ready and acclimated. Than moving all the new discus into the 125.558F77EB-C0A6-448E-86CB-B289B4005D0D.jpg

Tom, will any of the rearrangements impact the location of baby Big Ben?

[Iminit]

Well Big Ben will no longer have a tank under it. That’s about it .

[danotaylor]

Tom I am very happy things are going well with your hero fish QT, but I would wait at least 4, but preferably 6 weeks, before you put them all together. It's your call, but for me it's not worth the risk to prematurely complete the hero fish strategy

[peewee1]

Well Big Ben will no longer have a tank under it. That’s about it .

My concern would be that should there be no tank under it then should it fall from the wall during a violent lawn guyland earth quake there would no be a soft landing spot for baby ben. Maybe at least a pillow or dog's bed below to serve to soften the landing?

[Iminit]

Thanks Dan. I just want to move them out of the 45. Would like to get them into a bigger tank. I will wait till I set up the 125. I’ll put the Hans fish in there and move these guy to the 75. Want these guys to grow.

Looking great Tom. If i were you i would hold off on the move a little longer. Id hate to see all your hard work come undone

[danotaylor]

Sounds like a staging good plan mate
