    Default 6-09-2009: Three week update

    First, let me apologize for missing a week. Some personal matters kept me away from the computer. The fish still got their daily feedings and water changes, though. There isn't much to report on that front.

    The fish continue to do well. Their growth isn't even but that seems to be typical with most groups of grow-outs. I have a couple "hogs" that hoard all the food. They seem to be pulling ahead of the group in growth. The lightest colored fish doesn't seem to be growing any yet but that could always change.

    These guys are pretty crazy about flakes and pellets now. After a meal of flakes or pellets they tend to drift lazily around the tank, unresponsive and lethargic. I think they just gorge themselves and end up in a food coma, much like people do. After digesting it for a few hours they go back to their happy, active selves.

    Beautiful fish. This is great to follow. I must remember the tip about cleaning every object in the tank every other day to do when / if I ever have baby discus.

    Hi Ryan,
    Your fish look great. Their fins are all erect, they look like they feel great. Must be doing everything that they like.

    Thanks everybody. They never look the same in pictures as they do in person. Video seems to capture them better. I'll try and make one later today during feeding time.
