Al,
I thought i would sweeten the deal a little i will include shipping for any aussies taking up the challenge in exchange all they have to do is make a $50 donation to simply discus.So that's 6 Cobalt juvies including freight for a $50 donation.I will also throw in a plaque for the aussie winner !

This is a really neat idea.

As a newbie to discus, seeing results from something like this where people use different techniques, etc, would be really educational.

I hope that you choose someone who plans on trying a non-traditional method, just for comparison.

I'll probably try to grow some juvies out in a low tech planted tank, since that's what I have, but it would be cool to be able to see a comparison in a semi-controlled experiment, so I could see what to expect.

I'll start my tank before this challenge ends, but it might help other newbies when they start out.

I can't wait to see what happens!

[Vinny]

Hehe, this is a great idea. Such a generous offer.

[Discus-Hans]

Darren, I'm proud of you, great job my friend,
