    Very nice Eddie. I can't wait to see them develop even more.
    Think with logic and rationality more than emotion. Act with moderation and consideration. Contemplate ideals and realistic goals and weigh out possibilities and options. Temper not with personal delusions or false hope but learn to accept and move on.

    Thanks everyone, they are my favorites at the moment, well...my Blue Scorpion Albino Intermediates are but these are second!

    Underwater, stress (mood) bars can pretty much do anything, although quite some time ago, breeders preferred straight bars. It is not the case much anymore, maybe with some breeders but many discus have intersecting/connecting mood bars.

    Take care,

    Shots with flash give a better color reference.

    Hey Eddie,

    Has these "brown sharks" gotten their red colouring or any resemblance of their parents yet? I'm sorta anxious on how they look since the last update They've gotten their shape and now its time to see them colour up nicely, hopefully turn out as nice as the mother

    ^For those who didn't get the "brown shark" joke.
    All the best,
    Kevin

    Just took my time reading your past threads from 2004 Then I came upon this thread and was thinking to myself "wow, I totally forgotten about these little buggers "

    PS: Besides Japan and US, I didn't know you moved to places like England

    Ah, very nice and adventurous past, sounds very interesting Talking about Discus, I especially like the way on your Heckel/crosses purchases, including the wild heckel from your LFS that you got for more than half the price since you buy from that place a lot Its quite fun and worth the time going back and reading what happened in the best dontcha think so

    Yeah, I read prior posts from time to time, evolution of a hobbyist. Its what its all about, seeing what you've learned.

    Its been great, traveling and seeing the world. I'd like to get back to Europe someday.
