Hi taksan,
Those are lovely pictures and you must have enjoyed taking them, what a variety of fish she has.

Hi ladyred,
Nice variety of fish and it must be a lot of work on a daily basis.
Keep up the good work.
Mario

[Merrilyn]

Thankyou Taksan for those wonderful, wonderful pictures.

I'm so delighted. You have made my fish look gorgeous :P

Big hugz for you sweetie :wink:

[adolfovacemberg]

MYYYYY Goooood!!!!
Amazing tanks, briliants discus...
One day, who knows, i'll be there.
Congratulations, ladyred, i didn't forget the plants, beautiful anubias and driftwoods.
Go ahead.

[the_oracle]

Thanks for the pics. All of them are awesome..................

Merrilyn,
You have nice set-ups. Well maintained and not to mention, clean tanks and healthy fishes............. Definitely a job well done...........

[discusme]

Wow, what can i say ? :D

Very nice Taksan .. Thanks.
Must be hard to leave LadyRed's house :D

Cheers,
Ronny

[kalebjarrod]

Top work Taksan

love your tanks M'Lady

[anti-generic]

funny question,
but is that a butter knife in the 2nd pic..?

great tanks and fish..
Cheers,
Eric

[Merrilyn]

Ohhhhh Eric, my secret is out. :shock:

Yes it is a knife in that second shot. I use it to wiegh down a zucchini to feed the ten little bristlenose catfish in there with the discus :oops:

And no, I'm not trying to teach them to eat with a knife and fork :lol:

Next time, I'll try to remember to remove it :P

[marg]

Wow Ladyred, what can I say? They are a credit to you.

Absolutely gorgeous Fish, they are beautifully presented, what a fanatastic setup. Now I see why you say "Slave to my Fish" - but boy do I envy you. What I wouldn't give to have a few of those young Juvenilles in my tanks.

Is your hubby interested in the Fish at all? Does he help you with maintenance etc. at all?.

Gotta go, I'm startin' to drool now. You are one lucky Lady. I just hope that the next time everyone arranges a get together at your place again I can make it. I'd love to see everything close up and spend some time with fellow Discus Lovers.

[sammigold]

Well, they were definitely worth the 56K wait!!! As I have said before Merrilyn your fish are magnificent!!!

[AussieStar]

[grumpyold]

Taksan as all ways TOP pics,well done. Nice fish lady red and the little snow king is doing well.
Regards Bob

[Merrilyn]

Thanks Bob, yes the little snowie is doing well. I've actually got ten of your little guys spread thru the tanks, and they are all growing well.

And I agree, Taksan did a wonderful job with the pictures. :P

[Namn8r]

ladyred what colour variety are the deep blue discus in pics 9 & 11?

[ozarowana]

Awesome looking fish and setup you have there. :D Although those white and blue discus have pretty poor shape and only 6 stress bars. :wink:

[Merrilyn]

HAHAHAHA ozarowana yup they are just terrible for discus. And that big lumpy head on the male is a real problem. :shock:

But for Frontosas they look just right. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the nice words everyone. :P

Your fish are beautiful Ladyred.
