    Looking good Chad! No measurement this time or did the fish outgrow the measuring tool! Fish look super nice.

    Take care,

    Your tank and discus are so beautiful that I don't know how you can tear yourself away to work on your fish room. Excellent work.

    Chad,
    Very very nice! Tank and fish look beautiful. I love the one with the spots on it belly. You are a busy man these days. Good luck with the completion of the fish room. Are these guys going to stay in the display tank? hope so, since they are doing so well in there.

    Eddie,

    Last measurement was 5.45" and the caliper that I have only goes to 6". LOL! I don't think that I'll be taking any more measurements until the end of the contest. Pulling the fish when they are so large is not an easy task. When small, they are rather easy to handle. The last measurement was rough, sort of like deep sea fishing. LOL!

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Thanks so much Chris! I spend the evenings relaxing in front of that tank. It's in the living room so I can check out the fish while I am watching television.

    Thanks for the kind words Kenny! It's really interesting how the patterns of every fish are so different. I have one that shows some really light stripes. I'd say the color and the patterns of these fish are their true adult traits. I don;t expect any more cahnges. These guys will stay in this tank unless something unexpected happens.
