How cute is that!! My girls would be too scared.:D

[White Worm]

I told her no matter what, they wont hurt you so dont jump when they come in for the kill, lol.

I'm glad the last few pics proved that was your daughter. I thought for sure those were your pink finger nails. :D

Your daughter is adorable and your discus collection is nice too.

Thats great that she helps. Does she help with WC also?:)

Great looking Discus.

I knew someone would question it and thats exactly why I got her in the pic, lol. Thanks. She loves to help out with the feeding.

I wish, right now she has to stand on a chair just to feed them. Maybe in a couple years. I'll work on it, thanks. :) She has her own in the tank and named it spikes. She pets that one too. I was really surprised to see the turq just sitting there while she was petting her whole top fin. Must be a girl thing.

Mike,
Thats great that she loves to help out..:). Do what ever you can to keep her interest in the hobby.. For me its a great feeling when my kids want to be with me in the fish room and help out..

One of My kids nick names is fishboy, and his sister is of course fishgirl and they are so proud of them!

[tpl*co]

somehow, everytime I see this post's title I see it as:

"My 7 year old is hit with a discus"

And I think it is a freak discus jumping accident :)

Don't ask me why, maybe too much going on :)

Testing. My daughter wanted her own identity on here, lol. She wanted to let everyone here know that she likes petting and feeding the discus but she went to bed before she was activated. She will post tomorrow and say hi to everyone.

Thats her in the pics above. Hey Al, I even taught her to roll up the sleeves when in the tank and make sure she rinses her hands with clean water.
