    week 17 update

    Thought it about time to post some pics I took during week 17. Fish are doing really well and eating like pigs. Even the one that got picky about flakes has shown more interest. Things haven't really change, temp at 86, pH at 7.4. Water changes are 50% at every other day or so. Just ordered some parts from Jehmco to get my water storage tank set up. Want to get that going and plan on upping the frequency.

      Looking good Kirk! Do you have one fish that is super light in color or is that just the lighting and the angle? That one fish looks like a pale yellow compared to the others in the photos. Great job with these guys!

      Best wishes!

          Thanks for the comments. While my fish are doing "okay", I can see that they pale in comparison to some of the other challenge members. Guess that means I need to step up to the plate before it's too late.

          Chad, yes there is one that is a pale yellow. Not sure why.

              Hey Kirk, they look great, I have never seen so many variations in color as in these contest discus.
              I really like the one pale version of yours, after all it's an albino right !
              As far as everything else goes, we are only down 4 months and 8 more months to go. I really think as
              long as everyone's discus stays healthy they will all max out at their potential. Then it's a matter of who
              drew the long straw will have the largest discus. You are doing an excellent job.
              I really like the full tank shot.
              Take care buddy,
              Bill

                    Kirk, great pics. The Discus are coming along nicely, just keep up the feedings & w/c's & you'll be fine!
