    The shape looks good, color at 3 months is great. The last set of pics sure have fat bellies. Good looking bunch of fry Al.

    Amazing Al, those 2 make some killer babies, they are shaped perfectly! Can't wait to see them as adults!


    All the best,

    Hi Al,

    I have a question regarding this pair,

    Did you have a female domestic and put it in with the male or did you have them in a bigger tank with other discus and let them pair off?

    thanks
    Raymond

    Nice pair Al. I love the shape of the fry. Looks like they have the potential of turning into some real stunners.

    They are very nice looking fry. Congrats on a great cross.

    I am hoping to do a similar cross soon so hope they turn out something nearly as good as yours.

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the comments, These fry are something I have been looking forward to for a while.. I have a few goals in mind for the wild crosses I am working on...these ones here are very promising.... so we'll see!

    Hi Raymond.. I almost always force the pair with all my fish, domestic or wild... I have limited space here for fry so I really only want fry from specific pairings... Its the only way to really get what I want out of breeding...

    Hi Al,

    thanks very much for the reply,

    I'll bug you another day about sexing, although I've read a lot on the net and on discus books, seems like you've got your method packed =)

    Amazing pitures Al. You can really see the detail on some of those babies.
