    Default Challenge August 23 update pictures and videos

    I have to apologize for my lack of posts here recently. I have been putting in some LONG days in NYC. The good news is I only have one more week of this crazy schedule left. I struck a deal with my boss, I would do this nyc job if he bought me auto feeders So i now have 15 brand new feeders which have helped a lot.All has been well with the contest discus. I had to change the feedings to 7 x daily flake and pellets and once with b/h before w/c. Their w/c has been daily at 80% just earlier(3 am) the lights are on 19 1/2 hours daily due to me being away and I want to get that last feeding in when i get home and also check in on them. They are adjusting well to my schedule, but they do seem a little more on edge due to lack of rest. I feel their pain also. I will be back to regular post next week. I have noticed some more size an a few these past weeks. Color is perfect for me, I can always bump that up when it is needed Sorry for the brief update but i need to get to back to work. I miss those days in the office just relaxing and surfing simply.
    Hope you enjoy the pictures and video
    ps. the color is off in the video this time. but you get the idea!

    i must admit Kenny you have some of the best fish so far IMHO. there are a few that are right behind you that make it a difficult choice but you can really start seeing the roundness in your discus now. keep up the great work and i would hate to be the judge at the end of this contest. well, at the end all of you are winners right?

    Simply amazing! As all the others have said, the shape and color are phenomenal on your discus. In the end I think that your loss of sleep will be worth it.

    Thank you Ricardo. Three of these guys are really beefing now i am back to my regular feeding schedule. All have nice shape but I see big difference between them now.
