Wow... those are gorgeous! what is the name of that strain?

These are Golden albino crossed to spotted albinos. They are absolutely stunning!

Best wishes!

So they are yours? You don't have to give them back after the year?

They are mine. That's part of the good deal! If you win you get a bit of recognition, but everyone gets to keep their fish! I'm hoping to have at least one breeding pair. That would be AWESOME!

Keep me in mind if you do! I am looking into Discus for one of my tanks. It is going to be a slow move as I have some rearranging to do and am in no hurry.

You go it! I'll likely post some more pics and updates here as they happen.

Best wishes!

Hey Chad....congrats for being picked! I followed last year's challenge and all it's ups and downs. Was very interesting though!! I'll be following and good luck to ya! Did you get to pick being the person with the planted tank or is that what you selected as how you wanted to grow them? I never did figure out with the first challenge if the challengers picked the conditions or if they were assigned.

Hey Debbie!

Thank you! I am the only one in the contest with a planted tank. I chose to grow out this way. I am also only doing one water change per week. That's another thing that I am doing differently. The way we grow out is our own choice. Naturally there are a lot of people that are very interested how my discus will show against the others that have bare tanks and change water daily. I just like my way and I get great growth and have health discus.

Great looking discus, good luck.

Arturo,

Thanks man! I appreciate that!

Best wishes!
