Nice pics Bill! Really nice!
Just adding these pictures so I will have a record of the start of these discus. It will be nice to compare them with the after pictures when they are one year old. These pictures are pretty color accurate and they seem to be developing a little more red as time goes by.

I went back to the original post where Al described the contest discus, "They are albino Crosses.. Golden albino crossed to spotted albinos..." So I guess that's where the variance comes from. You know, I havn't followed all the albino's strains but you can be assured I will now. All I remember reading was how difficult they were to breed, getting the fry to attach to parents. I know....that's a long way away but........

nice fish you get there bill!
you did a good job on them!
best wishes!
Hey Bill,
Fish are looking great. Think they've grown much?

Bill:
You are growing some really nice fish. They are going to look even better when they get older, you think they might get more red in the fins the older they get? That would look really nice.
Nice job.

Kirk, it's hard to estimate if there is growth yet as they are right in the busiest area of the house and I see them almost all day long. I think the largest two or three may have grown about a quarter inch or a little more but that may be some wishful thinking. I do know my extremely soft water is not supposed to get the best growth rate so hoping the good food will make up for the soft water. However I am not supplementing their food with calcium or minerals just what's in the food naturally. I have read other sources that is all that's needed, like they grow in the wild. We just moved to this area not long ago and really hoping this contest will help all of us to learn something.

Bill, you have some interesting spotting coming out on a few of those! They look awesome.
Looking real good !
