Great fish Mikscus, good clean water too. I wonder how do you manage to maintain such a clean tank with your active Airforce duty. Simply amazing :) Good job mate :thumbsup:

Thanks, That is surely the biggest one I have. Nearly 2" thick and I would guess nearly 7" Round. One big slab of discus.

I do very large water changes every 3rd day instead of smaller w/c's every day and it surely keeps me busy. Plus, I cleaned it really good prior to the pics, lol.

Kenny could give you the specific name of those blues. The 2 are sibblings and a cross between a Ocean Green and a red/white. Dad is pictured. Right Kenny???


Mike, thanks for the ramdom shots I do see some familiar faces there:)...how are your spotted pairs doing? Did they give you another nice spawn to work with?

Kenny

Yep, you should notice that 4 or 5 of those are very familiar. The spotteds have laid about 4 more times but they eat the eggs. I hadnt timed them with an RO change yet though so they were probably waiting. I hit them with a large RO change finally about 2 days ago and nothing yet :mad:. Figures. I'm gonna do a nice cleaning tonight and do another RO change and see how it goes. The female is pretty consistent and lays every 7 days or so.

Great as usual, Mike! Better make room dontcha think?....clocks' tickin:)

[Tropical Haven]

Mike that is a nice selection of discus you have there, keep up the good work.

[White Worm]

Thanks. Its taken me a couple of years to finally get mostly high quality discus and most are adult age now.

Marie...I have an empty 85g just waiting for something nice :D

aww...man I am so jealous Mike! I will not be able to get any discus at the ACA...even if I had the money... I have only one tank now...:(

But I can look!:)

[White Worm]

You can buy some and I will keep them safe in my tank, no problem. :D
You can have visitation and I will send you pictures during the holidays :p

Thanks Larry. I have been following the growth of your latest spawn and I am amazed at the outcome. Its obvious how much effort and attention you have dedicated to quality.

[White Worm]

Oh by the way, maybe this time....they laid eggs last night or early this morning and right after I used RO so chances are really good.

[brewmaster15]

Keep up the great work!:)

[White Worm]

Thanks Al!! You are right, it has been a long way, lol. Without a little help (ok...ALOT!) from you and simply, this would have not been possible. I really have to thank Kenny also because he is the reason I stayed in the hobby. I have a question (of course)... I added MB to the tank last night because I have the eggs that are going on a day old and immediately afterwards, the male was pissed at the female and wouldnt let her near the eggs. For fear of him eating the eggs or doing damage to her, I put in a seperator. Male on one side and the female with her eggs on the other. Seems like mom loves the arrangement but dad is seriously not happy about it. You ever see that kind of reaction? Its like he didnt recognize her in her BLUE outfit, lol. (1 drop per gallon).
