A little more. These last 4 pics are of my 72 bowfront show tank in my living room. The albino discus in one of the previous pics are going in this tank.

Bra Dale I stay in Fremont Nebraska. No mo surfing bra just tipping cows and shucking corn. Where you stay?

Michelle, I know that the discus will be in good hands. I was reassured of it just by answering your ????s. If you have any thing you want to know, I am ready to answer.

I also sent a breeding group of brisltenose plecos that should go great in your planted tank. They were all raised together the discus and the plecos. When you are QTing them there is no need to seperate them.

Cuda, I have for stock in that tank 40 cardinals 25 rummies 24 emerald eye rasboras and 6 albino bushynose plecos. The albino discus that are going into that tank are not yet adults . They are in a grow out tank till I get a pair or two. Mahalo though for the kind words.

I was in Des Moines to pick up a new pair of Motoro rays but was unable to reach the party that I was to get them from. Kind of disappointed.

I also have a new interest. I will be starting to raise an array of domestically bred dart frogs. The colors are just amazing.

I also have a few strains of freshwater shrimps that have just got to breeding for me. I also breed Pitbulls although this may be my last year for that.

Lots on my plate at the moment but well worth the time and effort.

Lataz, Ike

Yikes Ike, Nebraska!!!!!!

Hahahahaha. And here I thought I could give you a bad time. I guess I am still here in my own little world on my little rock in the middle of the Pacific. You dont see to many people saying things like "dakine" on the mainland. You must have spent some time in Hawaii. Most people wouldnt know what it means when you say "Where you stay"

BTW, you have some nice stuff. Just kills me when people mention reptiles. I miss em. I might have to hook you up with a friend of mine here that does Discus.
Dale

Almost forgot, I stay kauai bra. Plenty good kine surf and choke popio dis way.

I am glad I didnt know about this before I went on my honeymoon. My wife would have been a little mad if I was spending time at a Discus hatchery.

Awesome pics keep em coming!

Hello again...It has been soo long. I have learned soo much in the past two years about the planted discus tank. One thing I learned is never listen to normal planted tank advice Since then I have had the chance to grow out new discus and the new pair has formed.



You can see way more photos on my website.
