Old guy fry...

Fry from my "old guy" contest..

https://forum.simplydiscus.com/showt...s-old-guy-tank

These are fry from blue snakeskins

I will post pics as the grow. Right now they are eating my pellets and bbs shrimp. I offer the pellets all the time and bbs 3 times a day. I found that its a great way to train them to take pellets at a young age. They will pick at them initially and then go right to them when fed.


These are just quick phone pics..

I have to cull a few soon.

Looking good mate. The Old Guy still has it!! The discus did a great job as well :p :D

How old are they now, Al?

Liz they went free swimming 12-29

I figured about 3 weeks. They look perfect for their age. I look forward to a 4 week pic when they round out even more.

Fry are doing well still..

HI JIm,
Yes all are the same spawn, some will be snakeskins and others will be turqs. I have to cull a few that are just not growing as well as the others and will probably make that determination latter this week.

Hi Al,

I will never get tired of watching discus fry. They look terrific, congratulations! Big achievement of getting fry from the old guy.
Looking forward to see them grow.

bTW, I see some that have a more of a golden shade than others. Do you expect them to be different?

Hi Freddy, Thanks! I am not 100% sure what I will get here color wise. I know the genetics of the male to a T as its my line of several generations. The Female is a blue snakeskin from Chicago Discus so though I would think the offspring would be normal, I really can't tell yet...which Is why I haven't culled except a few very weak ones.

Bloody marvelous mate. Looking great! Watching your progress with these from dreary Ohio!
