Hi Willie, I'm glad that you made the leap. If they're reddish orange they're probably Pigeon Bloods of some type. They probably have a fancy name. All breeders give their Discus fancy names.
It was cooler today, but still nice. It was sunny and in the low 70's. Not quite shorts weather but still very nice out. We never did get a drop of rain.
I couldn't stand how unkempt my little Pip was looking. There's something called "spay coat" which happens to the hair after a bitch is spayed. They grow way more undercoat and less strong outercoat. It doesn't happen to them all, but it happened to Pip. Yesterday evening I lifter her fat butt into the grooming tub and gave her a good wash, conditioning and blow dry/brush out. That was enough. So this morning I lifter her fat ass onto the grooming table and gave her a good hair cut. It's a good trim, but she's so fat she looks like a pin head. She likes it, though, and of course I made a big fuss over her and told her that she was beautiful.
Then I made a couple of boxes. I have one going out Monday and the other Tuesday. Except for making a creamy broccoli pasta dish for lunch I've done nothing but play with fish. What the heck. I'm retired, and besides, it's Saturday.
