    Thanks @mxz

    Hi Charles, please come make a turn here by me. The pictures are really not a true indication of how nice these guys are.

    Gosh I dont really know how to answer this.... I asked my wife if she would be ok to replace me for 3/4 weeks a month taking care of our discus and she said "Hell No!". We should sit down 1 day and have a chat about it, I dont know your situation and what resources you have available.

    You can take the most beautiful fish and really wreck them without proper attention and care.
    So... :hatsoff: To the keeper :congrats:
    Well done Eugene these fish are amazing!

    Hi all, another quick update. Growth continues to be astonishing. My best is when people see them for the first time in person. They really are amazing and considering they only 8 months old! They are showing a lot of mating behavior now, carrying on like randy teenagers (which I suppose they are:laugh::laugh::laugh:).


    Enjoy the terribad Blackberry pics

    Mmmm, I dont know. From discussions with Genie Id say they about touching the 15cm mark, which is enormous when taken into account that the 21st of May they will only be 8mths old, which means there is quite a bit of growth left in them.
    This is another pic of a what one
