Look good Popey, like you've said the two large fish aren't the best, but I actually really like the 'snakeskin' one. The Pigeon Bloods are nice too, not finished colouring up yet either.

What are you feeding them now?

Fairly similar to the diet mine will be getting then

Whatever it is it looks nice, and good to see it much healthier. Hopefully they'll stop eating the eggs. Then you can make 'My Discus Story 2'.

you ask a hard question Bluboy!

its not like rating a filter on a 1-10

the hard part to keeping them is finding out acurate information ! there is a lot of trash writen about them !
finding out what to feed, how to medicate ,its easy to pannic and throw in medication after medication! When you would be better to just do a waterchange!what they do need is stable water conditons and larger waterchanges ! ( good water!)

I regard black mollies difficult to keep as I had no sucsess breeding them sucsessfuly!
