Aug. 29th. Update.

Still thinking about Marvins horrible week. I certainly look at my fish a bit differently now, knowing something catastrophic could happen. What makes me most nervous is the fact that no definitive cause has been established in his case especially if it is indeed a problem with his source water. I rely on large water changes twice a day and if my water source goes south then I would have a big problem.

Anyway there's not much to report on this end. Same feedings, same twice daily water changes. Not much time to spend on the computer today so I gotta cut it short. Here's some new pics. I like the water change one.:)

hello,
Your fish look great! Nice round shape, especially shot#3. Just wondering approximately what size are the fish now and what are you feeding them? thanks :)

Hi Steve

Nacho is looking as Regal as ever and the rest....awesome.
I love the wc shot too, the pose and reflections is a masterpiece. :):)

You are close enough to the Sierra's, CA water source it won't be a problem for you will it?

Great Job, take care

They get a home made mix of fish and beefheart, fbw, tetra color granules and ocean nutrition prime reef flake. About 10 feedings a day. I haven't measured them lately but I would guess they are well over 5"

Thanks Bill. I don't think it's a problem since we get our water directly from the mountain water sheds.

OMG Steve, they are looking PHENOMENAL, easily show quality fish my friend. Love the deep colors and the shape is to die for! Oh man, if you breed them, I am coming to get some fry from you!

Steve,
everything your doing is paying off. 2X daily w/c and feedings every hour. Color is out of this world on Nacho, he is looking huge. Thanks for the update.
