My discus journey in photos

[fxbillie]

As a newbie to discus as well as the aquarium hobby, I consider raising these discus mostly from pea or thumb nail size quite an adventure. It started in February 2011 when I bought a batch of surplus discus fry from a discus guru Rick of Canadian Aqua Farm. Under his encouragement and expert advice, I set about this discus odyssey with uncertain future. The fry were tiny and needed constant feeding & care. At 6 weeks old, I unloaded whole bunch to forum members. Then at 3" stage, I sold more off so my 110g can have more space to raise the rest. Now at 8 months old, they are 4-5" and have great colours. I must thank Rick for giving me expert guidance along the way. Here are the photos showing the journey:

Thank for the kind words. I may consider selling off some of the red scribbles (the ones with turquoise stripes) which I have over a dozen. Too much of the same kind. May run out of room in my 110g if they get to 6" or more. But I enjoy watching a large group in swim motion. Not posting them for sale yet until I need more room for larger fish. But interested members can PM me if they are interested in red scribbles.
