Tom's (Captain Discus) Discus Grow Out entry 2018

[Captain Discus]

Hello and Good morning All.
Tom here. Anxiously and optimistically waiting, Friday morning no fry yet.
I believe in miracles so it will happen. My 10 gallon is waiting with warm bubbling excitement!
I will post pictures tonight of what I have going on.
I don't post just learn from all the wonderful brains here. I just learned how to post threads (yes I know computer illiterate ) Thanks to the Boss.
Gotta love me. Not very interesting but a lot of fun at times.
Tom.

My fingers and Toes are crossed Tom that everyone gets their fish today that hasn't. This pair has given me many very healthy fry and this batch was probably the strongest yet. I will be on pins and needles all day..not that I wasn't all week!

YEE HAW !!!! my fry showed up this evening.
AL, amazing work packing, the heat pack was still warm. three of the bags were very low on water maybe 2 or 3 table spoons of water. So a very inadvisable transition time was performed.
I don't know what you put in the water but you should bottle it! 2 of these guys are struggling but the ER is open and I did every thing I have learned here. I have my baby brine shrimp brewing and gave a small amount of your food to them. I will be up all night watching under low light and working in the wood shop. NO power tools tonight my wife says.
I guess she is right as I just popped the cork on my best Merlot. ( sorry you could not be here ).
PH at 7.6 Nitrates, Nitrites, and Ammonia all at 0.
Doing what i have learned here. no time to improvise!
Pictures to follow as soon as my son stops by to show the old guy how to to that.

Worry not. Pat and Al will guide you so you can do it the normal way.

Everyone says that my Angels are of excellent quality. Most breeders don't treat Angels like Discus as I do, plus I have an eye for quality. I'm glad that you're pleased with them.
