	Guess who did what while I wasn't looking!!!!
techjak Fish Master Posts: 1515 Kudos: 2354 Votes: 4 Registered: 09-May-2003	That's right! My pigeon blood (F) and one of the Blue Turks decided to set up housekeeping after all! The amazing thing is that all the rest of the discus are keeping their distance in the 46 gallon bowfront tank! I missed my latest tank cleaning as well and they decided to lay their eggs on one of the heaters. Mom and Pop are guarding the eggs dilegently while everyone else stays at the front of the tank. If this works out, I'll have to get another tank set up toot sweet! Time to check the want ads for some cheap tanks!

Oh well, at least I know that I must be doing something right! I hadn't planned on a breeding program anyway. Maybe next time.

lunker101 Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 284 Votes: 2 Registered: 19-Aug-2003	Sorry to hear the eggs got eaten but atleast now u know you can expect some more. I love how u rescued a 46 bow-front from a dumpster, you must have been jumping up and down .

techjak Fish Master Posts: 1515 Kudos: 2354 Votes: 4 Registered: 09-May-2003	That's for sure! So far I've gotten five free tanks! Two from dumpsters and three given to me. One was complete with stand, filter and heater!
