    Haha, This hobby does this to you, I cannot even watch TV I find it boring and I loose interest after 10 minutes. Watching and staring into my fish tanks however, well that's another whole new world!!!

    ......and their are NO repeats!! LOL:lol:

    Haha, I already feel like this every morning after feeding in the fish room. I try to think of any excuse not to go to work. But I have pretty much run out of ideas for new excuses and my business partner would appreciate it anyway!! LOL :D

    Yep that too.. you ready to go work.. and something says.. just check on them once more.. by the time you manage to walk out the door you most certainly running late!!

    Every time you check on them... and one isn't moving you panic.. come move little one!! Until you cant resist touching it so it moves..
    Then Cesar comes along.. Leave the poor babies alone!! You going to scare them..

    No.. Im not scaring them!!
    They starting to eat from my hand...

    I rest my case!!

    In a way, I am pleased that my Rays haven’t bred. Don’t know how I would cope.

    When my Discus were small, my SO was working part time and she was around to give them their mid day feed. She is now working full time, so that would no longer be an option!

    Thanks...

    Me too but, Im pretty sure they will look a lot like mommy and dad as they both pure
    If you look at the picture of the mommy when she was tinny, at the beginning of the thread, they look identical
