Hey Guys ~ My friend came over and in his trunk was a half of bag of my Soil Master substrate and some other toys:)

Made My Night ~

I added substrate and put the Rams back in ~ I will say this: They are not "off" any more, guys!...I swear totally different personalities now ~ back to the same discus ~ swimming in and out ....like they took some anti-depressant....:confused:

Now, Kenny's fish have never seen Rams nor substrate....lol! They were like Oh Hell No!...at first ~ My Rams are old though, and one is going down I am afraid ~ just sits on top of the condo....:( Then the Bottom Dweller Ram....the Golden Albino Intermediate....stays real close to it ~


This tank never has been better ~ so colorful and I adore every fish in there....

Even my very first ~ Ms. Pringles!


Thanks for peeking guys!

The tank is looking real good , Marie!! Normally I'm not a fan of the "easter egg" discus tanks but I like this one, may be the color combo itself!!:)
The golden albino keeps getting more interesting everytime you show a pic of it

Marie, nice looking setup my friend!;) The whole group look more at ease than when they were in the bare bottom. I didn't know you still have these german blues? Are they like F3s now? :D j/k

Have you just done another 100% WC on this tank again LOL? The male ram seems to be covered in bubbles and that usually appear only after a massive water change!:p

Keep up the good work Marie.:)

In one or two pics I can. In the others, there's too much reflection of mini blinds? I think.

Yup! The reflection was brutal on some pics! I really love this background though ~ I want to see it when you get some and it is on your tanks!

LOL, were they able to see through the bottom before? Mine always were off when they could see through the bottom of the tank. When I set it back up again in its new spot I've got to paint the bottom of that tank!

It's so good that your fish are feeling relaxed again :). I still have one geriatric Ram left of Kenny's too. Really looks old, but still hanging on ;).

nice discus, like their size and shape and color.

I think you were victim of the mirror effect.

I don't think so as they have been in a bare bottom tank for ....well, hell, Kenny's have always been in one and the two year olds....for the last 6 months....

I do not know what it was ~ but it is gone now!:)

Thank you!
