    Default whoa - shakey ground

    Well today started out with a bang. Literally! We rarely
    have earthquakes in Oklahoma - too dang flat
    As I started to make the morning coffee offering for the
    wife, there was a horrific bang and the earth moved for
    all of 3 seconds. Turns out to be a nice 5'ish magnitude
    just 6 miles from the house. AWESOME ride.
    Low rumble heard for 30 seconds afterward.

    Tanks all ok. Discus are happy, yet lost another to that
    wasting thing. Seems like a grayish tint to their body color
    is a clue that something BAD is going on. Got one other
    guy looking gray and thin

    On the upside, our Angelfish had a spawn about 2 months
    ago. We have 50 of them and they are really, really energetic.
    It's a blast watch them feed. Another batch of eggs today.
    She's been laying every 2 weeks, shortest was 11 days.
    Dang male is close to worthless, he's watching for food
    instead of doing his duty.

    The Angel's took over Mrs Deculas 55 g planted tank, and
    I have to hand it to her - it looks really nice. Turns out the
    plants that were "melting" really took to an Iron boost in
    their diet. We are actuually going to have to trim soon.
    Flourish Iron - great stuff.

    Wow, thats super crazy! Earthquake in OK, that seems odd. Good to hear everybody was okay and that nothing was damaged.

    If you need some help with the fishes, send me a pm buddy. I'll see if I can't help you out.

    Take care,

    Glad you and the fish survived the quake. Sorry to hear about the probs with the discus though.

    We had one here in Kentucky a few years back around 5 magnitude. Was a crazy feeling to wake up with the window rattling and floor shacking I had no idea what had happened. SCARY FEELING!!!! I bet people in California laugh at us but that is something we are just not use to.

    I was wondering how you were doing. Glad to hear you are ok.

    On the fish do you have a microscope?
