    Hi Chad

    Those discus look great ! You are doing a great job getting the best size out of them.
    You know I appreciate seeing the shots of your planted tank as much as seeing the discus, it is looking great, beautiful.

    Ya, I can see you took camera pointers from Eddie, he always posts at least 20 pictures each week.....ha ha, just kidding, the pictures look great.
    Aquarium photography is one of the hardest to capture with a camera. You do good !

    Look forward to your next post,
    Bill

    Bill,

    Thank you for the compliments and I am happy to hear that you enjoy the planted tank as well. There's nothing better than beutiful discus in a planted tank IMO.

    Yeah, Eddie has been a real sport in regards to camera tips. I know how to point an click. That's about the extent of it. You know what they say, practice makes perfect!

    Thanks again Bill!

    Best wishes!

    Hey Kath!

    Thanks so much for the compliments! I am very proud of these jewels! Although I have several beautiful strains of discus, these are my favorite at the moment. LOL! Hopefully all is going well with you!

    Best wishes!

    Thanks Ed!

    I can't say that I have worked too hard. I did take a weekend to go to Las Vegas and a whole week to go lay on the beach in North Carolina. Come to think of it, I've been pretty lazy. LOL!

    Thanks again for the kind words. Have a good one!

    Best wishes!

    Ed,

    BREATHE! LOL! Just kidding. I know how you feel. The only thing that I rely on when I am away is an auto feeder. Sure wish I had someone to do more. LOL!

    Best wishes!

    Not that my untrained eye really knows quality, as at this point I am a newbie and go on recommendation from others, but for what it is worth....I think those are absolutely gorgeous!

    Thanks Snoopy!

    These guys are super high quality. Forrest and Kenny get the credit there. Couldn't have had such fantastic specimens without their help! I'm glad you enjoyed the shots.

    Best wishes!

    Chad, some fine pic's indeed. I get trigger happy with my camera when it comes down to my fishies & still learning bro. The fish are looking outstanding as well as the tank itself with the plants,sub etc... it shows other hobbyists other ways to grow-out some monster Discus. Lov'Leee!

    Regards
