And some more
Hello All,
Once again sorry for my absense, long hours at work and home keeping me busy as always. I manage to get two days off together this week and even then my work called me to see if I could come into work. After spending 28 of the 31 days in August at work, enough is enough. I miss my family, dogs, and of course my fish. So I turn them down. Well with that being said.....I finally moved my fish into their new home yesterday....a 75 gal.
Same set up as before. BB, two sponges, and a heater....that's it that's all. I will be doing a 50 - 75% water change on them daily. Feedings have largely been tetrabit pellets as I haven't had a lot of time to spend in my fish room as of lately. The are getting 4 feedings a day of this by an enheim autofeeder and 2 feedings of beefheart and the odd feeding of FBW.
I have been able to keep up with the water changes with only missing one or two here and there. Other than that nothing else to report. All the fish are doing well although I believe I am behind in the competition.
Here are some pics of them in their new home

Super nice Evelyn! They look great! Sorry to hear you are working so much.
Take care,

i would say sorry you are working so much but then again i wouldn't wish upon you what is going on in the hotel industry (which i'm part of) which is slashing hours left and right. i have co-workers working 1 day a week from full 5 days a week. i'm very happy you have a job that offers so many hours. i agree that there is such a thing as too much work and i'm glad you put your foot down and told them you wouldn't go in. i'm kind of playing both sides here ain't I? LOL. we are all glad you had enough time to post is the bottom line

Well if I was only at the top end of the pay I would be happier, but I too am happy with the fact that I know that I have a solid job that I get 40 hours + every week. However I have been working on average 50 hours a week for a year now and have my twins that are now 3 as of a few days ago that I am the primary caregiver (this in itself a full time job as well) I find myself missing the simple things in life....even sitting outside watching the kids play has to be scheduled in. My fish are on my schedule after putting the kids to bed and just before going to work. Anyways, enough of my whining Hope you enjoyed the photos

Evelyn,
They are really looking fantastic! What makes you think that you are behind in the competition? I don;t think they will count how many posts you made. LOL! Bottom line is your fish look just as fantastic as the rest! Really it will come down to measuremtn I think. Who's is bigger? LOL!
Well done and get some time at home for once! LOL!
Take care!

Okay, if I can only figure out how to post some pics that are a little larger than the size permitted I could have shown that my guys are measuring in at 3 1/2" - 4" on average. I believe that I see from other posts that would put me a little behind the others.....I'll just say I'm waiting for a growth spurt, LOL I'm just happy that they are healthy and nothing has gone wrong with them
Your discus are looking good. Thanks for the update. I hope that your work load quiets down a bit so that you get to enjoy more time with your family.

Your discus look beautiful! I see you are busy but have still been doing a great job with these fish! Do your twins enjoy them too?
