    Just finished doing a 30% water change, and had them feeding on some FBW in the process. A couple of them are showing some colour ocassionly, and l am starting to wonder what these guys are going to end up looking like. Maybe, Darren and Al could post a few photos of our fish's mummys and daddys in the Challenger's Section.....Please?

    And a very Merry Christmas to everyone at 'SIMPLY DISCUS'

    Thought l would try a bit of variation to their menu today and feed them a small quantity of 'live white worms'. They seem to like them alright. I liked the way they would grab them from one end and suck them in like l do my spaggetti. l have also included frozen daphnia to their diet.But their favorite meal is FBW. Still not eating aggressively, and wonder weather a slight raise in water temp would fix that? Temp' currently at 29 degrees

    I am maintaining daily 30% water changes, and feeding them little amounts of varied foods often. Temp still at 29 degrees, and Ph maintained at 7.2
    Cleaning up all scraps in the evening prior to water changes.
    Here's a small edited clip of my fish feeding on 'live white worms'

    Thanks John and Ben. I read on another thread here on 'Simply' how you guys get together to make your special blend of beef heart mix.
    I particulary liked the colour enhancer you guys used.
    Might try to make up a batch, and see how they like it.

    Joe if you give the fish as much attention as you put into your video clips they will power along !

    They look good, Joe!! I saw your "Simply" video. I left you a comment there as well. Great edit job. Now you're gonna make me pull out the ol' Microsoft Movie Maker and finish up my videos.
