Title: Time to move fish
Post by: LizStreithorst on April 11, 2015, 01:48:02 PM
The sterile Discus male and and his mate raising the Angel fry to the community tank.  The young Discus from a 100 to a 120.  The kids that the Discus pair were caring for and a another spawn of Angels about 10 days older from 65's in to a 100.  Of those kids, I need to separate the ones that have turned into a 29.  The ones the Discus were raising started turning at pea size.  I was impressed.  I'll get on it as soon as they are done eating their afternoon meal.

I intend to.  I've got all the fish moved that I planed to move.  Young Discus are way harder to catch than young Angels...I want to keep the turned and unturned Angels from two different spawns together in the 100 for another week or so.  They are loving the long tank.

I will get get my keepers from this group.  Some of my older HB's need to go to the tank at the shop.  They are getting a little to long in the tooth for me to feel comfortable selling.
