Well you should give it to us! We are having the opposite. This summer a lot of the reservoirs dried up here. There wasn't even enough water to grow our corn to maturity!

Poppa, sounds like a lot of discus! According to my calculations, that's 60 frisbees.....party at his house!

Not a hatchery but a hardcore hobbyist discus breeding wall maybe. Remember, the key word is ideas. I can do 3 strains of 10 as well.

I'm obviously no expert but I think it would be better to focus on less strains, since I know how much you try for quality, it might be better to get the best out of fewer strains?

Well... since I've bred them with success before, i wanted to play with a few crosses that i am aware of and understand the genetics behind. See if i can create what is being created by many from those crosses. So i can learn the genetics behind it a lil.

For example... I understand what strains to cross get eruptions. Takes time and ample selective breeding. Im going more for personal goals than money. I really have a passion for them.

After i can create a solid example of an eruption through crossing... I would then move to getting penang, face spotted, etc types of eruptions through other selective crossings to the eruptions.

I just saw the happy dance of all happy dance displays out of my checkerboard pigeon and blue diamond. Me thinks they needs some privacy. A nice 40b oughta do. Add that to tomorrows list.

25$ is a decent price at 2". But i honestly suggest not getting them below 3", and not get them from an LFS. At 2" that discus could have a ton of issues that you cant see yet... Might not. 2" is a fragile size for frisbees.
