Just wanted to say a quick hello to all because it has been so long since I have written on here. I have been disgustingly busy this summer with marriage, honeymoon to Alaska which was UN-FREAKING-BELEIVABLE!!!!!, and moving into our new house.

I am sad to report that I currently have zero flowerhorns but I have fallen back into love with discus. Here are some shots of my 125 gallon which is now a South American discus community. I have over 40 cardinal tetras, 3 pigeon blood discus, 2 red dragon discus (same as pigeon blood except they have more blue spots), 4 cobalt discus, 1 Marlboro Red aptly named Joe Camel, 3 regular bushy nose plecos, and one white seam bushy nose. There are very limited shots of the discus but they are in quarantine and I didn't want to spook them too much.





The pics of the pigeon bloods were taken 1 hour after introduction and they have proven to actually be an amazingly hardy fish! Discus are my new infatuation I am afraid and they are just as expensive as flowerhorns !!!

Here is the other thing that has kept us extremely busy.

I wish you all the absolute best and I hope to start coming on this board a little more again. Have a great weekend friends.

wow! your tank and fish looks amazing. and welcome back.

The tank looks beautiful and the discus are gorgeous. Good luck with that little guy too, I bet you find yourself saying "No!!!!!!!" 600 times a day for the first few months

no to the puppy or the new wife?????? hmmmmm...
extermely awesome tank... congrats on the new marriage and additions welcome back !!!!!!!!!!!

nice tank...how old is the lab? looks cute

hey mike nice to have you back bro!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and wait until I post pics of all the discus in a few months. Some of the smaller guys are having a hard time right now but they are coming around and their color is amazing.

Moose (the lab puppy) is now 4 months old and he is a monster dog. My family used to own a kennel when I was in high school and I was the head trainer after I graduated so I have owned over 20 labs and ran them in hunting tests/field trials. This puppy is hands down the easiest going and smartest one I have ever had. He is young and I can leave him in the house all night with no problems. We can't keep him out of the water either!

That's a beautiful tank Mike, great to hear that all is well with you. I too am getting used to the surroundings here in Arizona and getting used to the warm weather. Good to see you around these parts. Take care brother.

PLEASE come to my house!!!!!! Mine is such an attention hog and a chewer to boot
