Fry for sale near Jacksonville, FL.

[jaykne]

2inch plus fry for sale, Albino's may be a little under. The father is an Albino Leopard intermediate, and the mother is and Albino Pigeon Blood. I have about 1/3 9 bar fry, 1/3 Pigeon based, and 1/3 Albino's. I am selling 9 bar and Pigeon based $10 each, and not sure of price of Albino's can make me an offer. The none Albino's are Albino intermediate F1's so should produce 25% Albino's when inbreed and 50% when crossed with a pure Albino. These guys have received the best care, just over 6 weeks and already 2inches. PM me if interested need to go fast need tank space for a new batch and don't want to sell to my LFS.

Thanks Vera, they look better in person, and wish you did live closer also not even a hit on these guys just my LFS and don't want to sell any nice ones to him, put to much time and effort into them for them to go to a LFS.

[jaykne]

Thanks Scott, never thought I had the touch but now got a really nice pair of Leopards got probably 150 fry attaching now. Saw you are in GA, I am also on the border of FL, Kingsland GA. Larry

[Eddie]

Eddie

[jaykne]

Thanks Eddie wish I could send some to you they seem to grow more everyday, this will be real fun feeding, doing the 2 water changes a day, and in couple days start hatching bbs for the batch of Leopards that just went free swimming, then still have to take care of my other tanks, like a full time job. I thought breeding was suppost to be fun LOL:D.

[mmorris]

Lovely fry...you did a great job of growing them out. :) You might want to advertise on Aquabid as well. Good luck.

I have been in your neck of the woods many times. I visit St Marys several times a year to go fishing for reds with a buddy of mine.

[jaykne]

Thanks Martha, I will have to try Aquabid, just thought most fish on there are for shipping, I have the stuff to ship but would rather not. Larry

Hi Larry,

All the best to your sales of the gorgeous frys. They looked very healthy and are well fed and taken care of....if you decided to keep some as future stock we can't wait to see how they will progress in a few months. A great way for hobbyists in your area to raise some healthy frys!:)

All the best and enjoy!

Thanks,
Kenny

[TURBOFROG]

Thanks Kenny, they have had the best care I can provide and they are all looking good and still growing like crazy.
I need to have a word with you my friend sent me fish that get it right the first time and in hard water, thats the only reason I am selling these guys now, got another batch of fry. I asked you for males an females of the Leopards not breeding pairs LOL:D
If you want very fertile fish get them from Kenny, I ask him for a male and female of large fish and he always gets it right and start laying eggs right away. He won't promise you they are male and female but I think his track record proves it!!!
By the way I think Forrest is feeding the male fish viagra LoL:).

Thanks again, Larry.

[jaykne]

Thats a cool mix! Good luck with them!

Thanks ended up being a nice cross, and really starting to color up, just wish they would sell not allot of people in my area into discus, you almost never see a discus in pet stores here.

[mmorris]

just wish they would sell ...

They'll sell. It takes time. :)

[jaykne]

They'll sell. It takes time. :)

Ya did sell some Martha, but have to ship so I will ship also now, I will also post more pics soon they have grown and colored up allot

[jaykne]

How much for albinos?

[jaykne]

I am selling Albino's for 15each they are going to be really nice.

[jaykne]

Also the Albino's in the last picture I posted I am not selling they are very small, I have allot of Albino's that are 2"+, just did not post them because they were on hold but not holding them for the person any longer.

[jaykne]

Sorry to anyone that I told that Albino's were sold or Pigeon based were sold was holding for someone that backed out at the last min, so I held them 2weeks for nothing, guess have to be more carefull who I trust:(. But anyways I am still selling them for the same price $10ea for 9bar and Pigeon based, and $15 for the Albino's and I will give you a good deal for larger amounts. I am also all set up for shipping now have everything I need. These guys have grown allot also almost all are 2 and a half inches some are pushing 3, also remember they are all the same spawn, the non Albino's are F1 intermediates PM me and I can give you a # to call. Thanks Larry.

[jaykne]

MrYin Pm me and I can give you a # to call, Larry

[brewmaster15]

Larry,
I've seen alot of home bred fish and I have to say, you've done an excellent job on these...and at the price they are a steal.. If I had the cash right now and a tank...I'd take the whole batch! Those fish are really nice and I think are going to be some very nice stock as adults. I'd proud to own some. The care you put into them really shows.

Best of luck with the sale!

Thank you so much Al, really makes me feel good that someone with your experience can see the time and effort I put into these guys, I could not have done it without the knowledge I have gained from SimlyDiscus and the members that are on here!!! I really hope they will go to someone like you that will take care of them and raise them out right. Trust me they are a steal I am losing money on them, you just have to love what you are doing. Thank you again Al!!!

[MrYin]

i would just like to add that i am picking up a dozen from larry this weekend.....and i am so f'ing excited. larry has been great to deal with and i think personally waiting to meet a breeder like him was well worth my wait. im new to discus but i feel pretty dang good about the dozen im about to get. thanks for the conver early larry.

[Kenny's Discus]

Larry,

I cannot agree with Al more on the high quality of your frys; they are clearly very well taken care of and this unrelated F1 cross of yours seem to have the potential to produce some very interesting and clearly, very healthy Albino frys(Great Job again!) together with their intermediate siblings. Keep up the awesome job and although I'm being repetitious here, I love the shape of your frys and the condition they are in!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

MrYin,

All the best with the new frys from Larry, I can assure you couldn't have gotten them from a better person and also you got them at a real steal.:)


Not that you'll need it Larry, all the best to your sale.

Hey Brian, thanks for the very nice comments. It is an honor that you chose me to purchase your first discus from, and I will do my best to meet what you expect. From our conversation I am very confident you have the knowledge, tank space, and willing to put in the effort to raise these guys into some large beautiful discus. I look forward to meeting you very soon, and as I said feel free to call me anytime now and after you take them home, Larry.

Thank you so much Kenny for your kind comments!!! None of this would have been possible without you, I think of you as a great friend and always there when I have a question. I hope to have half the knowledge about discus that you do someday, I think I have come a long way but still nothing like you. I love breeding discus and have some great stock from you to work with, but for me I think it will just be one spawn at a time, you were right breeding is easy but raising nice fry right is allot of hard work:)!!! I know you don't breed now but not in a million years would I want your job, Your love of discus truly shows by the time you put into making sure the fish you supply us are clean and healthy, and getting them to us in such perfect condition. I really don't know when you sleep. Thanks again Kenny my friend.

Anyone looking for good quality discus, other than fry trust me IMO you will not find better than Kenny.
Larry

[BrandyK]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your breeding pair and all the fry. I hope you figure out what killed them all.

[jaykne]

Thanks and I am sorry again I feel bad because I know you really wanted the ones we talked about. I did find out the water company was treating the lines, and something in the stuff sent my PH through the roof:(. I am very upset and mad at the same time why can't they at least put a letter in the mail when they do stuff like this, and they still claim should not affect the PH. Larry.

[MrYin]

best of luck larry. i hope you bounce back.

[jaykne]

I regret to tell everybody my fry are gone along with a pair that had fry, I got up this morning drained those tanks first and checked the temp in my aging barrels then started pumping it back in was not running for just a min and saw fish jumping all over. I stopped the water but lost all of them starting running test and when I tested the PH it was over 9, from 7.5, I called the water company and found out that yesturday they ran stuff though the lines to clean them and never even told anyone:mad:!!! They claim it would not affect anything but they lie my PH was off the scale so high. All the work I put into those guys and feel so bad about it plus the great pair of Leopards that had fry on there back all gone just like that:(. The fry were almost all sold just had not been picked up yet so now returning money and letting all the buyers how sorry I am. I feel so sick about this, makes me want to just give up. Again I am sorry to everybody!!!

[D!NGO]

So sorry for your loss, Larry. I can understand how you feel. I went through the same thing before but in different situation.

All you can do is hold your head high and don't let this bring you down. I know it's hard to do at this time. Don't let this setback keep you from your enjoyment. Take care of business first then come back and be more prepared than before.

I hope this will go over soon for you. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Take care,

[golden29]

Sorry to hear about it. Especially with all the care you put into them. I was just getting ready to pm you to finalize getting some. Don't give up it is hard to find people like you who really take care of their fry like you do. You have a gift and we are all looking forward to your recovering from this and seeing more beautiful fry once again.

[Eddie]

Larry, so sorry to hear my friend. :( As Derek mentioned, brush it and keep them coming. You did an OUTSTANDING job with breeding/raising.

Take care,

Hey Derek, thanks so much for your kind words and yes I will be starting back up I still have some very nice Leopard's from Kenny that I can put togather and get them going, just going to relax for a little while and put some more things togather so everything is being monitored.
Right now my water goes through a sediment filter and carbon block then into barrels where it is aged and heated, but never had a problem with PH as long as I age it. But this was because of the stuff they ran through the line, the water company sent someone to my house today and I had saved the rest of the water in that one barrel so they could test it with there ph meter that can read allot higher, it was 11.8!!! They said I must of put somthing in it, but I expected that they are not going to tell me the truth.
But I am glad to say everything is back to normal with my water now and was able to do a water change on my other tanks:thumbsup:
This is an enjoyment for me and no I won't let this take me away from it, but thanks again and if do need any help it is very nice to know I can count on you. Larry

[brewmaster15]

Oh no.:(:(:(:( Larry, I am so sorry for you. Those fish were so nice... I know how you feel...I had it happen to me many years ago at my last house...city water can be a blessing...but I know so many that have lost their fish like this.:(:(

Only thing to do is get back in the saddle...You at least learned from this experience that you CAN breed and Raise beautiful discus.

Take care,

Thanks Shawn, sorry I could not provide them for you. I am happy that you take notice that I do care for my fish, there is no doubt about that. It may sound crazy but I thought of them like my kids, and even if I would of sold those guys for double what I was asking I still would not have made a dime.
Thanks again Shawn but I have no gift:D I just really love doing it and you will be seeing more beautiful fry from me, you guys give me the push to get going again. Larry
