Re: A Pleasant Surprise!

Progressing so we'll Frank...if I was close enough I'd be vying for 6 of those for sure

I'm still thinking about making the drive. I don't think I will, but I might.

Happy 7 weeks kids! All of y'all are good lookers. At what point will you separate the ones you want to keep from the ones you want to sell?

Frank, which food did you feed the fry with after they moved from the parents and at what day from hatching did you begin feeding that food?

I don't see the Heckle look in any of them. They all are looking completely like their parents.

Frank, I had been told that all wild discus have the Heckle gene and that occasionally that in a batch such as yours several will develop the Heckle look. Alenquer discus do this. I don't see it now in the photos but do you see it in any of your fry?

Re: A Pleasant Surprise!

I will Liz. If you change your mind on a LONG road trip, let me know.

Well...If you happen to change your mind about shipping 6 all you need to do is give me a wink and a wave.
