Hello Discus Chicks,
Nice to see real live developing discus eggs. Looks great.
I know they're getting ready...in the past few days, the domestic fish have been flying out of the sump. I stepped on one by accident. It was dry. I scraped it off the floor, put it in a tank of its own, and now, 3 weeks later, it's eating again. Half a dorsal, but in fine spirits. I wonder how the other fish will treat "him" when the fish is recovered and joins a group again.
Take care and good luck with the fry.
(You are the people I met at NADA, right?)
Cheers,
Mary Sweeney

That is because I didn't put enough meth blue and they are being raised without their parents it's fungus that has grown from the unfertilized eggs. The fungus won't harm the batch it's just unsightly.........Josie

08-05-2012, 07:21 PM
Oh, the reason I asked is that I have a similar kind of fungus/bacteria in my tank everyday, it starts on the leftover food, its like this cottony thing spore kind of and this looked similar. Is this a bad thing to have in the tank or is it normal?

OK Josie, I would be curious to see what Tara and Trish think of this.
So for anyone who has "effectively" trained a horse has learned more about themselves then they thought possible. They would have learned how to be patience, about their body langauge and it's effect on others, the art of touching, both gentle and firm. How to be the boss both in attitude and body language and how to be gentle when needed. The effective application of pressure and it's release (horse's learn on the release of pressure) and most important, the body langauge of the horse. When the horse is relaxed, thinking, tense, scared (and how scared), dominant, submissive and the appropriate action (and level) to take based on what you are reading from the horse's body langauge.
Sound about right? lol...as the basis for parenting skills?

Thats so true I think horse people have great approach to all animals after training and spending time with them you definitely learn a great deal more about yourself and others I also believe that if anything else horses teach you common sense which I think most people lack LOL......:).....josie

They are growing nicely. Those tefe are amazing foster parents. If the two I got from you turns out to be a pair I hope they are like their parents. They are now 5"+ and still growing hopefully with your BH mix they can get to 7". I wonder how big they can get. Anyway, How will those fry look like when they are adults? I needs some blues in with my group.

You know I'm not really sure I never worked with these two strains together so hopefully we can get some nice Discus out of them....I could guess but I'm going to let it be a surprise.....we will see..:)....josie
