    Default July 2 Challenge Update

    Hello all,
    Here are a few pictures I took last night before lights outs. Everything is going very well so far. No problems what so ever. They are still receiving daily 80% water changes in the morning and two clean ups in the evening. Feedings are still at 8 to 10 x daily. I could not be happier with their color, solid yellow with no body striations at all. This may change with age but i hope not Growth is slowing down as expected but difficult to gauge since i see them so much. I will measure again one month from the last measurement so I can chart their growth. All are growing pretty equally with only a slight difference between the group. This routine of feeding and w/c's is the same as I do for all my grow out tanks. These were some quick shots I took as i will be away for 4 days and wanted to get my update in. I have someone to change my water and keep up with the feedings while I am away. Have a great 4th of July!

    They're looking good. It's interesting that your discus are all solid since so many of the others have striations. I wonder what they will all look like when they mature. Looks like you're doing a great job with them.

    Good Lord Kenny. They look like the Hulks of the discus world. Maybe they'll look more normal when you get back Just kidding.

    Very nice fish.

    Kenny, WoWee, great to see all is well. Yes, they do look growing evenly which is fantastic to see. Love the colour/shape/thickness. Keep up the good work & have a good break.

    Regards

    Kenny, I gotta be honest man, you have the nicest looking group so far! Whatever you are doing keep it up as it is definitely paying off. I have looked at all the pictures in the other contestants' sections and when I got to yours I literally said "WOW!" Then I went up and read about 8-10 feedings per day..... I see that it's proving to be very beneficial to say the least. Both thumbs way up man.
