Pic 12. Dec 11th. Now we start to add 2 baby angels and 2 small Blue Discus that I bought 2 weeks ago and my LFS very kindly kept for me. The next few pics for Dec 11th are amongst the best. Enjoy.

Pic 13. Dec 11th. Forgot to mention also got 2 Ottos. Don't believe the rubbish about Ottos pestering Discus, It's just Not true. I've got 4 now and they don't go near my Discus, they spend all day grasing my plants for ant signs of Algae.
