Re: Pat's Contest Fish Wild Tefe F1 "Batch B"

Pat,
Do you notice any significant difference between these guys and Batch A at this age?

Pete, these guys might be a tad bigger. The batch A were set back a little at eight weeks due to getting sick.

Hi there Pat, looks like they are doing well for you, it is lovely watching them munching on the worms. Keep up the great work you're doing with them.

Thanks Jorge, I still can not decide whether I am happy with them or not but for the most part they are doing and eating well.

OK guys, 13 weeks old and slow growing. Again due to being the F1s of wild greens.

I'm avoiding doing WCs by getting caught up on your threads Pat. Glad to see some of these guys doing so well, given they're from my favorite of your males. No offense to you husband Husband.

Thanks Keith and the night is still young, for WCs that is. Your favorite male is fanning a huge clutch of eggs at the moment. His daddy skills are getting better. I will tell Tom you meant no offense lol.

14 weeks old now. Like Harry I notice that with a smaller group of fish some are a little dark sometimes. Also feeding is basically a slow graze.

I also pan over to Batch A which are about 6 months old to show what Batch B will look like when older. Meanwhile in the big tank the Batch B parents have a nice large wiggler mod which attached today. I do have not video of that yet. When I try mom eases into a dark corner and all you see is dark.

I forget to turn the heater back on last night after the water change as the tank was 78. Didn't even faze the fry.

IMO, This isn't surprising for domestic discus. I would imagine your wilds are okay as long as it isn't prolonged low temp.

Josh, I intend to only keep the temp low between egg laying and free swimming. However I had a discussion with Tony Silva at the NADA show who has spend time in the Amazon area and he said that wild discus do live in 70s temp for prolonged periods
