Hmmm, I need to spend more time going through the rest of your thread Brandon. I want to see what you did from start to finish and I appologize but I havent been watching just because I havent had the time to watch the whole process. Until then though, PM sent with my initial assessment of that guy. Tomorrow Ill review all the info you have provided from the get go and we can take it from there.

Re: July 31 2012 Spawn
I will give it a day or so before I do this for real. As of now one of my fish is a cull. So that puts me at not having a shot to win this so I would have to withdrawl from the competition. If there is any interest in seeing how having two in a tank together rather than a larger group would grow out I would be more than happy to do this. If there is no interest I will save my time and energy and cull the one and throw the other back in with his brothers and sisters. Thanks.
Since there was no interest as of today I am withdrawing from the competition. I learned a few things which is good. So everything wasn't lost. I will keep a couple of the ones that have those deformities to see how they grow out and report at the end of this contest.
Re: July 31 2012 Spawn
Sorry to hear Brandon. Not sure it is worth growing two out for curiosity sake but cool you were willing to go for it.

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
They are currently in with the rest of the fry so I'm not doing more work just two more mouths to feed
Re: July 31 2012 Spawn
Sorry to hear and it is great you've learned something. Its always great to take something away to apply it in the future. All the best!
I'm over it lol those two weeks I was losi all those fry were the most difficult. I was in a hurry to get my 30fry picked out. I think if I would have waited another week or two like a few others did then I wouldn't have had the great die off. Lessons are learned and we move on. I'm a better discus keeper because of this.

Re: July 31 2012 Spawn
I couldn't get your link to load so I took the liberty of adjusting it so it would....hope that's ok. I am seeing quite a few with short gill plates. Can I ask what your water parameters are? Reason I ask is this could be indicative of your water being too soft (not enough calcium).

Yea I have that problem fixed for next time. I had just gotten an RO unit then and was excited about using so for the first 1.5 months they were in straight RO. That was lesson two I learned. Next time once free swimming were going into aged tape water. Tds on that is ~230-260.
Re: July 31 2012 Spawn
Ouch, wish I'd been cognizant of that I surely would have said something quickly. I'm sure now though it's a lesson you'll never forget, at least if you're anything like me. Seems like the hard lessons learned first hand are always the ones I remember best.
