Like I said, willows are what they are, if you have a safe place that you don't mind the clutter, they're great.

Not as cold today, some rain tonight, warmer tomorrow. Gotta make a run to Front Royal tomorrow for the oldest grandson's 8th birthday.

36F here and mostly cloudy @ 11:30 ...

Hope to finish setting up a 20G long today, so I can move some fish around.

Good morning all.

Training day for me. Being the trainer kinda sucks but I get to tease the greenhorns.
I can't wait for this weekend. I'm hoping to get my FEL back to working shape. Plus I gotta change the transmission oil on my lady's car. Hopefully it'll go as planned.
Being new here I don't know most of you guys so I've been reading your posts but have not said much.

The tank is an old 10G I had ... wish I had painted the back black before I set it up.

It's a little on the small side but the tank environment seems pretty stable now ... so I'm reluctant to mess with it or try to move them at this point ... especially with them breeding. They can be kind touchy about changes breaking the pair bond.

At some point I suppose I'll have to tho' ...

Beautiful fish.

Back in the '70's I worked at a pet shop and raised cichlids at home, including Discus. For tanks I had lot's of loboy 20's a few 50's, a 55 and a bunch of 10's. I usually bred them in the 10's. My method for "increasing the tank size" with a full brood of Discus was to set up the 50 and get it operating smoothly for a few weeks so it was stable. Then draw the water down enough in the 50 and the 10 so I could set the 10 gallon aquarium inside the 50 gently then gradually fill the 10 and the 50 gallon back up such that there was virtually no disturbance. Then when all the fish eventually swam out of the 10, remove the 10. Never got any complaints from the fish.

A full tank of Discus can be darn pretty.

My aerial tractor was delivered about 10 minutes ago

My honda alternator went out, lost power on the road in the way home, but managed to get to a honda dealer where it died in the parking lot. They probably can't fix today, close in an hr.

welcome cajunrider.

long but very fun day. the farmer neighbor who wanted to borrow my tractor motivated me to go over there this morning and hook up his ancient disc,
and disc three fields for him. I must have disc'd for five hours. Time for a glass of wine and the hot tub. My oldest brother just emailed me back after
seeing these pictures and said "two glasses!" I am tuckered out for sure. Back and neck highly unenthused.
Smile stuck on my face...haven't pulled a farm disc in 50 years
