The temporary setup while the new system (and the daughter's apartment at the same time) is under construction.
The Heckels are doing great.
The Xingus are also doing great, but l scared them a little while moving around the fishroom, so they didn't present themselves.
The Greens in the bottom tank are also doing great, but they are barely visible from the plant, the bogwood and the low lights.

And while the new fishroom is under construction, the wild green discus thought it would be a good idea to produce some offspring. Just to make the move even more difficult than it already is...

Progress has been made. All the double insulated windows are in, walls and ceiling got 18cm of polystyrene insulation with waterproof(?) rendering. I am laying the floor tiles now, courtesy of .hu who gave me a special deal on the anti-slip tiles.
Next week the fish are moving into temporary aquariums (oh, how l hate having to move them!), then l will start emptying the old fishroom and moving the large tanks over. With the move the total aquarium capacity will go from 3000 to 6000 liters, the water prep capacity will go from 500 to 2000.
I installed the mandatory floor drain, built the chimney up for the wood burning stove/boiler - which is going to provide the heating for my wife's cheese workshop as well.

It finally happened.
It took a while until all the stars aligned, but as of yesterday The Xinguary has become the proud supplier of 25 young Xingu discus for one of the three thematic display aquariums introducing the fish fauna of the Rio Xingu at Sea World Prague.
The babies were a little intimidated at first, but an hour after introducing -well, call it dumping- them into their new home they were already exploring the tank.
Give them just a few months and they will shine in their true golden colours with the watermark dark halo in the fins.

Just to generate a bit more content, here are a few really awful shots l took the other evening with my mobile.
Due to the positioning of the tanks in the fishroom l have a really hard time finding angles with little or no reflection. As a result, these are the best pics l can take.

- Easter edition.
Having returned to breeding Xingus again does not mean that there are no other news at The Xinguary .
In the Christmas story about the Japura greens l told you about the three pairs that l had. The reason for past tense is that those pairs have all split up and new pairs formed. It happened in such a fortunate way that the big bronco male and the most spotted female (ex- female2) decided to start dating each other and ended up producing a lovely batch of fry which have now been free-swimming for 10 days. Strangely, the father fish, whose previous attempts at parenting have all failed, is now a good dad and the fry had no problem finding him since day one.
