    Default Week 15

    Another week and everything has been doing well.
    I moved these 6 discus from a 55 gallon to a 80 gallon 3 weeks ago.
    They seem to be getting a little crowded in this tank already. Can't afford a 150 gallon.

    Ya Eddie, thought they would stop for a while or slow way down when they got to 4 1/2 - 5". They just keep on.
    Thanks buddy

    Hi Lynn, try to post each Tuesday, that's the deal we made with Al, weekly updates. Hard to come up with something new each week so mostly pictures.
    Thank you for the kind compliments.

    Bill,

    They look stunning! I love the contrast with the black background!!

    When we started, I changed my tank from black to blue. Now I wish I would have left it black. LOL!

    Anyway, they are looking like winners! Well done!

    Best wishes!

    Thanks, Chris Chad and Kenny.
    I think I read Albino's are normally slow growers. I think we recieved an exceptional group everyone is having good results with them.
    They are just like weeds, give them water and watch them grow.

    Wow Bill,

    The consistency in your fish is amazing. They're all so uniform.

    Best of luck.

    Hi Kirk
    They all have been doing well. Some like beefheart best, some like pellets and all eat flake. I have been giving them plenty of each scattered about the tank so that may have helped keep them somewhat equal. Hope they all stay healthy. Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    They are eaiser to see as they run from end to end of the tank following me as I walk around the house. They have been a fun group of discus to have.
