Okay ~ so last night I decided with the help of my daughter which discus are going and which are staying ~ these are the Selected Ones ~ I can not part with any of these....lol!

This tank is so colorful and cool....

I have three of my very first discus from Dan, inclu Ms. Pringles from the lfs ~ Kenny's and Angela's & Andrew's....They are all staying as I should be able to handle 9 in a 55gal ~

...or really, what have I learned?

Under your care Marie, they'll be fine!! I'm sure it must have been hard to part with the other 5.

Your pic gives me a pretty good perspective. I setting up two 60's and I plan on keeping 8 discus in each.

Thanks..

They look really beautiful in there, Marie. Like you said, its very colorful, and your fish are growing up to be real beauties. I have 10 in a 75 (not what I intended, but...) so you should be okay - we know you'll do your WCs! :D

Is that your final answer?:D I mean are the ones in the pic the final cut, because they look really nice. That BD keeps looking better and better and Kenny's golden albino is looking good too!

Hopefully everything will work out for you Marie!

Wow! No kidding, those are some great looking fish. They look good in the tank, too. Happy in their home...

What happened to the other 5? And they look beautiful as always. I'm sure you can handle 9 in a 55. I've done 7 in a 55 before with no problem just keep up with water changes.

It is a very lively very colorful tank. The BD really stands out. How old is he? Is it from Andrew and Angela? Beautiful fish.

I forgot this thread ~ Sorry! It was very hard Reid....BUT....I can see them from where I sit:) I put them in my 20gal for now as I had to take some of the load off that tank or I was looking at some serious issues to all of them ~14 in that 55gal had bad written all over it, ya know? So you are getting two 60's? Very cool, babe! Take some pictures!!


Thank You, Reid:)

Come'on now Marie I was only asking for a couple fish back, it's not like I'm taking everything from you...now don't you be cheap to your old pal LOL!:D

Inside information told me that there'll soon be a new thread named "I'm keeping 7 out of 9"; I wonder what that's all about Marie?:D
