July 2 Challenge Update

[acroken]

Hello all,
Here are a few pictures I took last night before lights outs. Everything is going very well so far. No problems what so ever. They are still receiving daily 80% water changes in the morning and two clean ups in the evening. Feedings are still at 8 to 10 x daily. I could not be happier with their color, solid yellow with no body striations at all. This may change with age but i hope not:) Growth is slowing down as expected but difficult to gauge since i see them so much. I will measure again one month from the last measurement so I can chart their growth. All are growing pretty equally with only a slight difference between the group. This routine of feeding and w/c's is the same as I do for all my grow out tanks. These were some quick shots I took as i will be away for 4 days and wanted to get my update in. I have someone to change my water and keep up with the feedings while I am away. Have a great 4th of July!

Kenny,

They're looking good. It's interesting that your discus are all solid since so many of the others have striations. I wonder what they will all look like when they mature. Looks like you're doing a great job with them.

Good Lord Kenny. They look like the Hulks of the discus world. Maybe they'll look more normal when you get back :) Just kidding.

Very nice fish.

Kenny, I gotta be honest man, you have the nicest looking group so far! Whatever you are doing keep it up as it is definitely paying off. I have looked at all the pictures in the other contestants' sections and when I got to yours I literally said "WOW!" Then I went up and read about 8-10 feedings per day..... I see that it's proving to be very beneficial to say the least. Both thumbs way up man.

The color and the shapes are out of this world..Great job.. Wish I had a tank full of them...

Hello Kenny,

Your fish look very well-fed and taken care of! Wow. Thanks for giving them such great care their growth really shows in your beautiful pictures. Keep up the great work Kenny(not me lol) you're doing such a wonderful job!:)

Kenny

[acroken]

Thanks a lot for the feed back and nice comments:) I was away for 4 days last week and returned to some happy discus. They missed their first w/c on Friday and feeding was held back to 6x daily, 3 with ON formula One pellets and 3 with prime reef. I had a friend do some water changes of 50% on Saturday and Sunday on a few tanks, which is a whole other story. Everything is back on schedule now. I will send another update later in the week.

Thanks again!

Kenny
