    I don't have room to grow them out so most of these are leaving early and small. These are some excellent parents so I'm sure I'll have more but it'll have to be after I do some work to the house. By then I'll have some idea of how they color up as they grow out. I really wish I had a basement, lol...

    So far, I like their growth. I've lost a few before I figured out I was over feeding them. Discus fry are know to eat themselves to death, lol...

    When do you think they would be ready to ship and how much would you be asking
    for them?

    These were pretty much spoken for before they even hatched, lol...

    I do plan on selling future spawns but I just don't have room to grow out this many to quality at this time. My other pairs were only producing 20 or so at a time. Once I get some remodeling done, I'll have some grow out space and they will be for sale. This will also give me a chance to grow out a few of the ones I'm keeping so I can see if the quality is what I'm hoping for.

    I moved them away from their parents and into a 55g. The lights have mostly failed so I can't take a quality video, but they made the transition very well. The parents were getting beaten up pretty bad so I'm sure they are relieved, lol...

    A good sign they're happy is when they take to new foods. This is their first cube of Al's FDBW's...

    They're 6 weeks tomorrow and eating great! There are about 6 or 8 I'll be culling soon because they're much smaller than the main core.

    They're now on their 2nd cube, but also eating BH, granules and flakes as well. Soon to be off BBS.

    I was getting ready to lower TDS for another spawn but the parents were in a rush and spawned in 500TDS water. I didn't think anything would happen, but about 20 hatched.

    And, they have a great view across the room. A batch of black and gold ram fry are doing good as well...
