O, before I forget....

Sell me those wood in your tank foo!

WTF!

what did you do with your WCs?

Did a complete overhaul on my tank this weekend. Got tired of the way it looked with the soil spreading everywhere. I also changed out the discus and going for domestic discus so they can handle the increase in traffic with the new baby and all.

Absolutely stunning tank!!!!

I may need to increase my feeding. I have had 6 for so long that I may not have increased it sufficiently to handle the now 11 discus.

Good point. As stocking changes in my tank, I try to tailor the amount fed. It sometimes takes a few days to figure out how much they'll consume at each feeding. Well-fed discus should have a nice round forehead, which is where fat is stored. Pinched foreheads can indicate not enough food, not enough nutrient balance in their food and/or intestinal parisites. NLS discus pellets have a good protein/lipid/fiber ratio. As you know I'm a proponent of feeding multiple kinds of foods to discus.

No Nerite eggs will only hatch in brackish. Mark I did QT him for a 2-3 weeks. He was a little under fed when i got him (charity case) but he eats well and has nice solid poo.

Nice pics, Brian. The new guy looks a mite thin. Did you quarantine him?

yeah those are Nerite eggs. The draw backs of having them they lay eggs all over driftwood.

Wow....well, eggs none the less. Will they hatch in there, or do they have to have brackish?

I don't think those are assassin snail eggs.

[lilmissruffcountry]

Dude...holey ASSASSIN EGGS....are all those white spec eggs? Look like it in the pics! Oh ya...nice tank BTW...I can only hope to have one that size in the years to come that is actually "INSIDE" the house.

Last one is a new one that I just added to the tank less than a week ago.
