It’s so much fun to be able to see the German Blue Rams and the discus every time we walk them, but it’s hard to resist their begging.

The fry seem to be getting along great together.

There is a huge difference in the size of the discus – one of them is at least three times as big as the other ones are.

The rams all seem to be about the same size, although I still think they are a little small for their age.

We still have to move one more fish tank, and move the Australian Desert Gobies upstairs.

I can’t wait for that!

What’s going on in your fish room these days?

They’ve taken over 1/3 of the tank and they’re guarding eggs on a swordplant’s leaf.

The other fish are giving them their space, but the rasboras don’t care.

Jeff saw the cloud of rasboras swim right over to the discus, and the discus swam away pretty fast.

I hope the discus don’t get too vicious with this spawn.
