    Beth - Looks like you will have a lot to choose from

    Your BD x WDs look great as always - My F2's from you are getting big - one of the males(F2) mated with my brown female ( around Thanksgiving) but he must be still young as the eggs were not fertile.

    Getting ready to move all of my adult discus into their new home - a 240 gal tank. Finally got everything set up - I will move them in over the next couple of days and then take some pics and post.

    Had a scare a couple of weeks ago - Diane and I were out of town for a few days - the power went off in house while we were gone - came home and all my tanks were at 45 degrees and fish floating - needless to say I lost 3 adults ( 2 of my nicest fish! :-[ ) and some babies. But I was surprized that the rest ( about 30 ) came out of it. I was in shock as were the fish. Almost lost it after all I have been thru - moving, work,etc.

    Anyways hope this year will be less stressful !

    Hope you are doin great

    Send me an IM if you get time.

    What do you mean by "angels from pool experiment?" Did you grow these outside in a pool this summer. Thanks.

    Timindallas,

    Good to see you here Tim! I'll let Beth find the pics, but yeah, she had a few kiddie pools full of Discus and Angels in her yard. The angels look like they did particularly well.

    Way to go Beth! By the way, what's that Brown/Red looking fish you've got spawning? It looks like a wild-type variety.
