Discus

So after a massive cull of 91 youngsters due to an issue with deformed dorsals, im left with a decent batch of only 16 youngsters. They are now 33days old and growing well.

 

It sucks but has to be done.good looking youngsters Andrew.

 

Thanks Quintin. Was a massive hurdle to overcome culling off over 80% of the spawn, but its done now and all part of the process. Lets hope the next spawn goes better.

 

I think you well on ur way to being one of sa's finest breeders.you are willing to do the necesarry to not enter deformed discus into the world.you could easily have sold them to unowing people.its proof that its not a money making scheme.and you care for the discus and the hobby.keep up the good work

 

Guys devouring some Benkers!!

 

6 weeks old today and here they are chomping down some frozen bs

 

Ok, while im waiting for the penangs to spawn again ( without eating their eggs ), thought id post a pic or 2 of some of my other home breds as they are maturing.

Stunning fish! Nice photo too.

 

Wow, Looks Beautiful

 

So the spotted leopard young are 11 weeks today and their parents have another batch of wrigglers due to go free swimming this weekend.

Here are the lss youngsters.

 

Nice work! Let's hope you don't need to cull so many this time.

 

BEAUTIFUL !! Even though it must be tough to cull I'm sure it is very rewarding to raise such beautiful fish!

Good job man, pls keep the pics coming as they mature.

 

Andrew please post a pic of the penangs.
Please
