    I'm glad the last few pics proved that was your daughter. I thought for sure those were your pink finger nails.

    Your daughter is adorable and your discus collection is nice too.

    I wish, right now she has to stand on a chair just to feed them. Maybe in a couple years. I'll work on it, thanks. She has her own in the tank and named it spikes. She pets that one too. I was really surprised to see the turq just sitting there while she was petting her whole top fin. Must be a girl thing.

    Mike,
    Thats great that she loves to help out... Do what ever you can to keep her interest in the hobby.. For me its a great feeling when my kids want to be with me in the fish room and help out..

    One of My kids nick names is fishboy, and his sister is of course fishgirl and they are so proud of them!

    somehow, everytime I see this post's title I see it as:

    "My 7 year old is hit with a discus"

    And I think it is a freak discus jumping accident

    Don't ask me why, maybe too much going on


    Great pictures
