Thanks..... a little hard work pays off sometimes ;) On second thought I don't consider it hard work ;)

[Carol_Roberts]

Looking good Beth, :thumbsup:
I know how much work they are with all the feedings and twice water changes - not mention all the worry and hours spent looking at them, lol

Hey Limige ;)

If you wanna call it artificial when they were pulled at 5 days free swimming..... I managed to keep all 8 of the first group alive so far and they are all growin well.... I did cull 2 from the group but they are still alive ;)
I took this pic this morning of that group..... they're now 8 1/2 weeks

this is mom and dad.... I stopped feeding colour enhanced foods and they're getting strictly CBWs.. I can see a difference in the colour :o and I like it.... in these pics they're not in spawning colour.

Beth,

Your discus continue to AMAZE me. It's one beautiful discus after another. Mench and I are going to have to plan a "field trip" down to you. Maybe when you get the discus swimming pool up and running.

GARY

Hey Gary......

Beth,
Those are truly awesome fish. the way those babies are growing they must be eating like pigs. How many times a day do you feed them. By the way how old are the parents. They look great to

Chris

[limige]

well i'm glad to see they made it well, i know you've had a rough time with that pair. congradulations, i'm sure many more are to come!

Hi Jeff....
it's not all that tuff when you start out with Great Stock and read up on Simply "ALOT"
Thanks Jeff ;)

Hiyas Chris

Thanks ;) They tend to hurt the pocket a little ::) I try to make sure there are CBW's on the bottom of the tank at all times.... I just recently started them on ONF1 frozen and flakes..... they're nibbling at it ;)

I bought these when they were 3 months old from Cary @GLD I believe May of last year :-\ So that makes them around 14 or 15 months old..

Hey Limige..... Thanks..... and I hope you're right ;D

[DenverDan]

If there is a road trip to Beth's let me know I'm come and join the fun.

Dan

[Kagan]

Keep up the good work Beth. They look wonderful.. I guess the babies will be even more beautiful..

Kagan

just wanted to update their progress..... they all seem to be growing at an even pace so far ;) some are starting to show a little colour :o their main diet is still CBW's
