      It grows a narrow stalk to the surface. The flowers bloom from the end of the stalk.

      What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

        No way! Will the flowers get messy?

          Messy? Not sure what you mean. They're little white blossoms that stick out of the water, last a few days, then go away. They didn't foul the water or anything.

            Update: tonight I netted all the fish and shrimp out, put them in totes and pulled the 4" or so of substrate out of the 125. after that did multiple water changes...still doin' 'em. The fish are back in the tank and seem none the worse for wear. I hope time and lots of water changes will lessen the trauma for them. Now they have a bare bottom tank with a single piece of driftwood for the ABNs and shrimp to hang out on. My back feels like I've been beat on. I'm goin' to bed.

                  Not a fan of bare bottoms but I agree about the discus. What variant is that one on the bottom? Red spotted?

                    i don't like barebottom either... but i thought he was going to add sand... imo sand with drigtwood looks spectacular if done right, i think it is a RSG

                      Yes sir. RSG, red spotted green. I'm gonna try to find some sharp sand for the bottom and some more driftwood. I may or may not put some pots in it with crypt. and anubias.

                      Thanks guys.

                        Hope you dont mind me stealing your variants but I really like the colors on your RSG. So I am leaning towards RSG or Heckels for my tank

                          I really like all the wild variants. I think even a plain brown/blue is a beautiful fish if healthy, but my favorites are the greens and Alenquer reds. I got my greens from Dan at HAW. I bought Hobbs, the big male in the bottom pic, and a large female last summer. I picked up the other three in Jan. I think. Hobbs grew into a real beauty. When I showed Dan the pics of him he said, "You got that fish from me!?!"

                            I love the looks of it so far and your discus look sooooo happy. So, is Hobbs potential competition at FOTAS in September ? I make take one of my snakes, same one I took in 2006, except he's a lot bigger now .

                              Thanks Nancy. I've thought about entering him but I'd be nervous as a cat worrying about him...

                                Not to worry, if I were to see him stressed I would just take him to my house . Of course, you'd still never see him again
