    Default All Over Red Rover

    With the results in for the 'First Annual Discus Hobbyist Challenge', l would like to congratulate Scott for taking the honors in the American leg of the challenge.
    But l would also like to congratulate the other challengers, and control groups for their hard work and participation.
    By reading your reports along the way l was able to get an idea if l was on the right track. And as you know some us us were de railed a few times, but managed to climb back on and continue.
    A very big thank you to Darren, and Al for donating and shipping the discus to us all, and also to the Simply Discus team for judging and sponsors for donating the prizes.
    I feel privileged to have been apart of this very first challenge, and hope to see more of them in the future....l know l will be one of the on lookers replying to the reports and asking questions.
    Thanks also to everyone that left comments to my posts along the way, as this is what kept me going....people's interest.

    I just wanted to post the last lot of photos that l submitted to Al, but will add more photos in the near future.

    The challenge is over....but the water changes and maintenance will continue.







    We're here for a good time...not a long time

    Thanks Eileen. Yes l will take some photos of me next to my discus tank when l receive it, and post them here for you all to see.
    You will definitely see me around here, as discus keeping presents many challenges...my next challenge is having my own discus breed. I have had them lay eggs many times, and just looking forward to getting to wiggler stage for now.
    I am sure l will find all the answers to my problems here....so you won't be getting rid of me that easily.
