Those are pretty cool! Will you have to feed them special food to keep the coloring, or is it a bred-in thing?
I am only used to seeing the older variety brown discus. I haven't kept up with the aquarium world.

Well not MY aquarium, but my pics.

Does the picture poster have to request the next pic or can we just post to our heart's content? Or both?

Here's one for ya'll..... Grand daughter's first horse ride. She was two, the earliest I could convince her doting parents to let me saddle up for her. The horse is Joe, our sweet, gentle cremello Quarter Horse. She learned a new word that day, rocking back and forth in the saddle when Joe stopped walking, yelling "RIDE!"

You will go to jail for child abuse. Addicting a 2 year old to an expensive hay burner. Now that u r close, she will have to go on rides all the time. I know u will hate that!

She's 7 now and we are already cooking up ideas to make a unicorn horn for Joe, braid ribbons in his mane and tail and have lots of fun with him. And Joe? He is a real good sport about stuff.....

Pretty fish. Do you breed them for babies?

Love discus fish but read about how hard they are to take care and I'm not allowed to get an aquarium. I find fish interesting and read about them almost as often as I read about plants. I'm most interested in the aquarium fishes from South America and Australia/New Guinea, specifically.

Do you have any other fishes, or just the discuses?

These are Texas Wooden-Leg meat goats, bucks, very rare breed that we're helping to preserve. They're actually a strain of Tennessee Fainting goats bred in Texas for meat use, they don't actually topple over but their legs get very stiff - hence the name "Wooden-Leg." They get huge! For some reason I don't have pictures of the females.

The black one's name is Hades, he's out youngest and strongest buck.
