Hi Steve
When I opened this post my response was WOW, what a picture........then I read your story....
I had planned to split my group up at a later date if needed, into multiple 55's or 30 breeder tanks.
I would keep them separate from other fish/discus though. Not sure what rules apply here.
I have no right offering any opinion about your band career but my experience has been "If the opportunity knocks",
you won't have to feel bad years from now thinking why in the heck didn't I do that.
The rest of life has a way of working out the absolute best it can. Compromises are meant to be shared in a family.
If you get to the point where you have trouble relocating your contest discus I may be able to run down I-5 to pick
them up and give them a home almost as good as you have provided. Rochelle, Derek and Edward would at least
be able to check Simply on Nacho's weekly growth, crediting you of course.
I sure have mixed feelings about all this but no matter which path you choose I'm sure you will make the best choice.
Take care buddy, great pictures, awesome discus.
Bill
