And more....
Well another week has gone by and all is well with the contest discus. Although I have been busy with life's challenges, work and the new fish room I haven't skimped on my once a week cleaning of the contest tank. Still performing maintenance once weekly with 50% to 80% water changes each time. Fertilizers added for the plants and a quick check of the KH for adjusting the CO2 injection if necessary. That's about it. I took a bunch of pictures!
Enjoy!

question for you Avionics, LOL, j/k. seriously though...would you say that the color that your discus display in the pictures is accurate in regards to how they look in real life? i remember when i saw the albino's at Bill's and i was shocked at how different they looked from pics i've seen. but i've noticed that different albino's have different hue's.

Thanks Chris! I'll keep doing what I'm doing!
The pics that I took are pretty accurate. Pictures can sometimes skew the color. If you recall early on in this very competition there was one contestant that had VERY orange fish. After a couple of camera adjustments, that wasn't the csae. The camera was casting an orange hue.
Onother thing that I have noticed is that tetra color bits DEFINATELY influence the color of these fish. I was using them early on in an auto feeder for a mid day feeding and they were much more orange than they are today. When they were on the color bits, they almost looked juiced. LOL! The color was crazy orange!
The albinos that I have from Bill are very bright yellow right now. They are about 3". I saw the parents and they were more of a mellow yellow color. I am assuming that as they age the color will become lees vivid. Right now these babies are nearly blinding to look at. It's sort of crazy!
Hope that nswers your question!
Thanks Eddie! I really appreciate the compliments!
Safe travels!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Best wishes!

Nicely done, Chad! What would you say the size is at right now? You feed 3 times a day, right? I forget what it is that you feed. Pellets...flakes...NLS?
Great job Chad, Love the pics!
To comment on the colors, I have one that has the dark orange hue (avatar pic), one that is very yellow and the rest are in between. I feed the tetra color bits 3 times a day so I'm not so sure that is the cause for the colors. I kinda wish it was cause I like the darker color. Is'nt Kennys group all darker orange? I'll have to go check and see what he's are feeding.
