    Default Jan 31 Challenge update video

    All has been going well with the challenge so far. Daily water changes of 80% and feeding 4 to 5 x daily. Food has been PE shrimp, pellets, flake,,bw and black worms. I have been out of bh mix for 3 weeks, i call my butcher and he has agree to trim and grind my next order so we can make up a batch. I attached a video of them feeding tonight. Check out the bull hanging in the back, he is a coming along nicely. I have two confirmed females, they don't seem to have a problem finding a date I did lose a nice bn pleco who was sucked down the drain on friday

    Wow, I hated Philly water, but the fish seem to revel in it. They look wonderful! Hands down some of the healthiest, robust & vibrant looking Discus I've seen lately. Not to mention they are drop dead gorgous.

    Thanks Eddie. I am feeling better, possibly going back to work next week. Sorry for the poor quality photo. The females are really starting to put on a show for the men.

    It is funny when they are facing you straight on, they have to turn a bit to see you. Thanks so much Chris

    Lots of love goes into them Jason. I treat them right, they pay me back with beauty. Been awhile since i shot a video of them, kinda gives you a better idea of the groups interaction. Funny how the big guys just lay back and wait for the food to come to them. Spoiled buggers Thank Pal.
