Re: Agassizii breeding assistance needed

Mike W. and all.................I agree with the question by Martha.  I
don't have an opinion here, please understand that.  It's just that I have
heard from people such as J. Wattley personally (I spent 4 wonderful hours
with Jack at his house one Sat. afternoon...just he and I), that as soon as
possible he gets the young discus away from the parents and starts the
process of increasing the hardness of the water because the young fry derive
a benefit from the additional calcium.  Additionally, I've read it in
articles!

Just what I've heard folks......again I have no opinion here just curious
for some facts.  I will say that I have so much respect for Mike W. that
what he said stopped me flat dead in my tracks!

This should be a fun discussion.....some learning going on!......great!
