    Kenny, those are some sick looking fish. My daughter informs me that is a good think and therefore means they are looking good. My daughter also informs me that I shouldn't try using that lingo because it only makes me look stupid. Oh well, such is my lot in life.

    thanks Jim, color in real life blows these pictures away. this tank is right next to a window that get lots of afternoon sun. usually i take my pictures at night which is easier with just the tank light on.

    Thank you hendri, they are still growing but not as orange as they appear in this weeks post. these were taken during the day with lots of sun light.

    Kenny, I love the pics you take...I think its only right that you give us a picture tour of your fishroom!!! you must have some amazing, big, healthy beauties in there. you have such an awesome looking set-up. we'll have to meet up one day! would love to check out your room! your competition fish look better and better with each update. they almost look fake, they are so perfect! jeeez, great work with this group, and that exactly why I'd like to see what else Ken H has in his fishroom!

    thanks again, a million times over for those cones! helped me out bigtime bro! Im rooting for you to win this thing! (altho it will be a tuff call, as ALL of the challengers fish look stunning!)

    take care Ken, dont be shy with that camera now!

    Based on the pictures and the pictures alone, if I had to have someone watch my fish while I was away for several months it would be Kenny! The mass that you have put on them and the roundness you have achieved is amazing! Keep up the fantastic work.

    Kenny, outstanding fish quality & an enormous routine you have going, incl. the food types. I also feed my fish an array of foods they lov'em all, I think as nothing is usually left over. Keep up the great job!

    Kenny

    Your fish look beautiful. I too would like to see some pictures of your fishroom, especiallly the filters you use. I have two batches of young discus that I am growing in the same tank. I am sure you could give me some good ideas on filters.
