Anyone in Boston wants to share? I don't have room for 6...2 or 3. Thanks

[kush]

Eight of Martha's babies are living with me now. They've arranged themselves in a large stand of water sprite pretending to be Christmas tree ornaments and continuously demanding to be fed. They're gorgeous! (And thanks for the white worms - my wife hasn't found out they're in the wine refrigerator yet).

[mmorris]

Thanks for posting, Kerry. I'm glad to hear you are happy with them and they are doing well. :)

[target]

They are gorgeous. If you do end up shipping in the future, and I have room, I would love to have some of those. Blues like that are one of my favorites. (Hard to have only one favorite)

[MostlyDiscus]

Absolutly beautiful Martha. Very well done:p

Hi everyone: I went and bought 4 baby blue sapphires from Martha two weeks ago. These little guys are so cute. They have grown some, and I have them in a 40 reg with my one and only non-blue solid..the blue snakeskin that I purchased from Hendri a while back. He/she is now the designated baby-sitter for these 4 little guys and they all love to be together. The snakeskin is such a good babysitter....he/she will not tolerate bullying of one baby from another, and the little guys like being around him/her...makes them feel safe. Anyway...this is my quarantine tank, and my Hi-body Bds from Kenny will soon join them in here too...and they will grow out to be huge monsters in this tank. Updates of my two BD adult pairs are posted on the "blue delight" thread in the photo section. Thanks for looking! mike:)

[kaceyo]

Nice looking group. Sometimes putting small discus in with large doesn't work but they all look like a nice happy family.
Martha, do you still have any of those Blue Saphires left?

Kacey

[Al M.]

Nice Snakeskin Mikel..........And saphires

[mmorris]

Thanks for posting, Mike. They look like they're doing great! I only have four left, Kacey.

[dpt8]

Wow !! Auntie Martha.. you are a great sales woman.. Great little fishes too :9) Great job.. !!! David T

[mmorris]

Thanks David! One of the little guys got stuck in the drain pump intake yesterday. Poor thing. His eye and lips were swollen out to here, his nose bright red with blood and his body dented and marked. I thought he was doomed. Today he was out eating and I can barely tell him from the others! I think his lips aren't quite on straight though.

[mikel]

OHHHHHH, poor little guy! I hope he'll be ok, but seems like these guys are like little kids, very resilient. Fall face down and bang a big bruise on the head, then they run off to the jungle gym, screaming and yelling like nothing happened....

Martha, I made another batch of mix...this time using 3/4 BH prepared by Stop and Shop (and further trimmed by me) and only 1/4 shrimp plus other stuff....your little guys prefer my all seafood mix (with cod, salmon and prawn) made previously but my older fish likes the BH mix...wierd. The blue snakeskin baby sitter will eat anything. :):):)mike

[mmorris]

Thanks for the update Mike! Beefheart day is coming up. I hate making it! I'd rather clean out canister filters!

[mikel]

I know what you mean...what i find very helpful is a really really sharp set of knives..from the cleaver size all the way down to the small peeling knives with jagged edges. Keep them really sharp, and this way, you can just slice off all the membranes and the white fats, like a surgeon would....then just domp everything into a good processor or a grinder. Have fun and say hi to the kitties for us! mike:):):)

[Arjunpun]

i wud like to buy i am from somerville ,ma we cud meet somewhere i want to buy 4 discus.

[mikel]

They look great Mike! It's so nice to see the kids doing so well!

[ssevasta]

Hello Martha,
Any chance you have any blue saphires left?

[mmorris]

Sorry, no. I'm growing out four and I will probably sell a couple of them when they are older but no... The female hasn't wanted to spawn so I put them back in my 125 gallon tank. They are showing signs of thinking about another go but we'll see.

[MFdiscus]

wish i lived closer. they are beautiful... a pleasure to look at
frances:D

[mmorris]

Thanks Frances. :)

[mmorris]

Oh gosh!!!! Oh gosh!!!! Thanks!!! Now ya'll come by and have some nice, hot apple pie, won't cha?! :)
Auntie Martha

[AngryBird]

Hey Martha,

I am in the line looking forward for the babies. Will catch up with you in feb PVAS auction :)

[mmorris]

Sounds good! :)

[ssevasta]

Have you had any luck with the pair spawning recently?

[mmorris]

Unfortunately, the male paired off with a turq and I'm not really keen on raising their mixed offspring. I have some turq fry at the moment so perhaps I'll try to re-pair the sapphires at some time in the future. Thanks for asking. :)

[dpt8]

Martha, The saphire mixed ith the turq may prove to be a very good mating producing a few BLUE turqs !! :9) See ya soon Auntie !!

[mmorris]

Martha, The saphire mixed ith the turq may prove to be a very good mating producing a few BLUE turqs !! :9) See ya soon Auntie !!

And what else, do you think? Cobalts? I don't know the genetic line of either, and people like to know what their babies are going to grow up to look like. They're both quite nice though...maybe.

See you soon. :)
Auntie Martha

[Al M.]

Martha

You are correct in not wanting to cross any old fish, I hate whrn I read about someone saying that they have A mated pair and they are elated, and their pair is A red cover and A blue diamond, that just kills me.................... with all that being said I think that dpt8 maybe right that could be A good cross producing some nice blue turqs. give it A shot, grow some out and if they don't turn out like you exspect chaulk it up as A learning exsperience..... Al M.

[mmorris]

Thanks Al. I appreciate that.

[chhabi19]

I know it's an old thread, but, do you still have some left?

[mmorris]

No, sorry, the female doesn't seem to be in the mood. Hopefully after a long rest she will change her tune. :)

[kmckim]

Shame, let us know when you have another group, they all looked lovely, and its official... I have the discus bug!

[mmorris]

LOL It seems to be contagious!

[mmorris]

Thanks Tony. The sapphires have paired up again and laid eggs, although last weekend's batch only hatched out a few. I'm hoping for a better batch this weekend. We'll see. :)

[tonysdiscus]

sounds,good just keep me posted.drop me a pm when you have some news..

[ssevasta]

Hi Martha,
Whats the difference between Blue Sapphires and Blue Diamonds?

[DISCUS USA]

Thanks Tony. The sapphires have paired up again and laid eggs, although last weekend's batch only hatched out a few. I'm hoping for a better batch this weekend. We'll see. :)

Good luck Martha got fingers crossed for you .. btw who did you get those Blue Saphires from ?

[mmorris]

A small batch hatched out this am but it really is small. If the parents want to bother with them I guess I will. Sapphires have a 'glossier' blue and mine don't go dark in tanks with a dark background. I was concerned they wouldn't go dark with fry but they do. Hector, LOL you know full well where I got them.

Done. :)

[buffalogal]

My babies from Martha arrived yesterday and they are absolutely lovely! They were obviously very well cared for, as they took no time to settle in and were not a bit afraid of me. I would definitely recommend getting fry from her the next time her sapphires breed.

Amanda

[mmorris]

Thanks, Amanda! I'm so pleased you are happy with them and they are doing well for you! :)

[Jennie]

Ok Martha here is batch 2, doing well. Was hard to get pic because they were chasing Al's blackworms all over. they look light in the pic but have more blue than shows.

[fireman5214]

Anybody know where mmorris is? I have sent a Private Message about the fish and has not rerplied yet. Is he on vacation or something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[Jennie]

she's moving and probably super busy with it. She hopefully will be back soon:)

[fireman5214]

ok sorry SHE, and thanks for the update discuslover

[Jennie]

I thought and not sure that she had new baby saphs not ready yet, but again not sure

[mmorris]

My apologies for not getting back to people. I had surgery on my foot and I've just been released from hospital yesterday. As a result, I didn't have access to a computer for the last week and a half or so. I had a friend collect the fry because I could not take care of them and I don't know when I will be able to take them. It's more than I can do at the moment taking care of the adults.

[Jennie]

that foot. Feel better soon:)

[kaceyo]

Hey Martha,
Sorry to hear about your troubles. You have my permission to skip a few WC's while you recover. Better that you heal quickly and not re-injure yourself.

[mmorris]

I'm going to have to halt sales for a few weeks more, I'm afraid, due to health reasons. Another hospital stay and more of my fish are in the home of a friend.

[Eddie]

Sorry to hear Martha, hope that you get well soon. I know we've had our disputes on here but I am definitely not heartless. Hope to see you back in action soon.

Wishing you well,
