    Thanks guys fingers crossed. @Adhil sure why not. This is a practice and learning batch for me and I need to learn how to ship them properly anyway. So if you are willing to pay the shipping its fine. You and wade can give me feedback to what condition the fish arrived in and all that. But lets not get too excited infanticide is a thing in this tank. But will only do it for you two as I will have none left if this continues hahaha.

    Thanks for the support @Adhil. I am planning to do this a retirement job one day, so need to get my skills up to par in all aspects of fish keeping. As soon as I'm successful I'm upping my tank count considerably. Discus changed my life, it tough me discipline, that's something I was always lacking. It's not easy cleaning thier tank after work everyday when you are tired and gatvol but it has to be done in the size I'm keeping them in. Now its part of my life and made other tedious work feel easy. It also upped the standards of my other tanks, actually everything has gotten better. Discipline is key, not money or anything else, but DISSEPRIN! haha. The rest will follow.

    @BoelderBeestie Wow thanks a lot, you dont understand how grateful i am, i really really appreciate it and definitely dont mind paying shipping. Those parents look beautiful and healthy so the fry will also come out very nice. And congratulations, i agree it was about time he manned up and took over to fertilise the eggs. Good luck and I really hope its a successful spawn and that everything goes smoothly.

    Again thank you very much for the offer, i really appreciate it. Looks like i need to start looking for a bigger tank sooner than i expected haha.

    Thanks @WadeSmith lets hope for the best. I'll rather do it like this and learn to ship properly than just screwing it up later. If all goes well they should be ready for shipping in 3 months, maybe sooner, will have to see how fast I can get them to grow. I'm going to leave them with the parents till they start to feed and then its my ostrich fillet mix and benkers mix and a lot of it. Saw fish that's been grown out on ostrich mix and they looked magnificent.

    @Adhil thanks, that info would be worth more than gold to me, I think about 3 months should be a good bet. Hellll, I'm nervous already hahaha. Need to get home and check up on them now, only 1 hour 32 minutes and 15 seconds left. Will give an update later on the state of the eggs.

    @Discusnut hahahaha.

    @Adhil most of the eggs are white this morning. There's still a few that's amber and some went dark. I don't think it's going to be a hatch. They are spawning like clockwork every three weeks so maybe next time. Damn, they get a person so excited.
