Forrest's New Arrivals

[Eddie]

Hey all, to my surprise, my shipment arrived one day early. Here are some shots of them just added to the tank!

3 X Altum Flora Snake Cross 9 bar
3 X Altum Flora Snake Cross 14 bar
2 X White Butterfly (Super Grade)
2 X Albino Goldens

Now, I have to tell you, the AF X SS 14 Bar are easily some of the most gorgeous fish I have ever seen at this size. The shape and pattern are UNREAL! They are all, more than what I asked for! Forrest does it right, every single time!

Nice fish Eddie. I'm very particular about my fish but there isn't one in that tank I wouldn't want to own! Must be nice to get hand picked stock from Forrest. I'm sure you will grow them out nicely! Good luck with them.

Definitely Forrest! I will surely give them the best possible care they can get!

Good call on the delay! Yup, the fish were supposed to arrive last week but Typhoon Morakot came right in the path between Taiwan and Okinawa. No planes were flying into Okinawa so my fish stayed a week in a private hotel, exporters tank, while the typhoon passed through. Then the original flight was due in tomorrow morning but I checked the cargo info for my shipment and to my surprise it showed arriving tonight. I raced to the airport and raced home. Just arrive back several hours ago and the fish are all safe and sound! These fish are top notch!

Thanks Forrest, I know it was a lot to deal with on your part but everything worked out in the end.

Forever grateful,

Eddie

Thanks Jason, I will give them a few more days to settle and their color will be alot more present. They are still very faded from the travels but the colors are gonna come in better in a few days.

Appreciate the comments and take care,

Eddie

Eddie,

Congrats on the new additions! They are certainly looking sharp! I just got 15 from Kenny. Still haven't posted pics. I'm going to try and get them up tonight! I'm sure you'll have these guys grown out in no time!

Best wishes!

Great looking discus Eddie.

Thanks everybody! Forrest did a fantastic job picking them.

[Kenny's Discus]

Eddie,

Congrats on your new fish! Forrest pick out some beauties for you I can see.;)

Forrest mentioned to me about the delay of your shipment due to the typhoon...but looking at the condition of the fish in your pics I think both of you did a great job in sending/receiving them!:) When I look at new arrivals pics I personally always pay special attention to their condition in their new home and I think yours look to be in top notch form even after many hours of flight time, with erect fins and bright eye color.

I'm with others here that knowing the way you raise discus and looking at their current potential, these will be some very nice specimen when matured under your care. All the best with them and have fun Eddie!:)

Thanks Kenny! I am just glad to be near Forrest to get the fishes direct.

Take care my friend and talk soon,

Nice discus Eddie!

Those Altum Flora Snake Cross 14 bar will certainly have a beautiful pattern. I can't wait to see them show their colors as they grow, which considering how you take care of them, they will do in a blinking of an eye;).

Among all your tanks, the golden albinos will stand out for sure!
