SoCal- 2" Red Turq/Spotted Leopard fry for sale.

[Melissa]

I have about 15-20 pcs Im selling. Local pickup only :) I'm just thinning the herd so to speak. I'm trying to keep as many as i can from this spawn but there's just too many for me to try to keep now that they're getting bigger.

They eat California Black Worms and Golden Pearl pellets (800-1000 micron size) and with their appetites it wont be hard to get them on other foods of your choice. The father is a Red Turq and the mother is a Spotted Leopard, both are quality fish bought from sponsors.

Asking 15.00 each.

There is a good variety of turqs and leopards to choose from :) I'll post pictures in a few minutes.

Here are some pics of them about a week ago...

8 weeks old now.
Most are more than 2". There are a few just under 2" I can sell for 10.00 (There approx. 4 of the smaller ones available)
It's likely they're just slow growers and will turn out perfectly fine. We are all made different and they're just growing at their own pace :)

[hedut]

Very nice shape Melisa. I'm sure will sold out in no time:)

[Melissa]

Thank you Hendri :) :) :)

[moon_knight1971]

Grrrrr...I'm 400 miles away......

[Melissa]

Yikes! Lol

I do live in San Diego, but I have family in Orange County I frequently visit. I would be able to deliver or meet anyone interested in any around that area or between San Diego and Orange as well, just to throw that out there. But of course in that case you wouldn't be able to pick out the exact ones you want in person.... I would try my best in that scenario to get you what you want.

After looking a little closer and taking a tally of the number of turqs and the number of spotted ones I see, there seems to be about half and half.

[bnbfishin]

Nice looking babies. How come no pics of the parents so someone would know what they came from?

[Melissa]

The male is a Turq, female is the spotted leopard. The male isn't a show fish but he's beautiful to me :) i think he's a little stunted from poor care when I had my daughter about a year ago. Hes around 5 1/2-6" but he acts like such a stud i think he shouldve been a lot bigger!
I really like his pattern though. Someone called him a Tiger Turq once... Not sure what that is...
I don't have a good pic of mom yet. I'll try to get one. She originally came from Kenny, the male was from Bill at IE Discus.

[Discusgeo2]

Melissa I sent you an email about them

[skennedysocal]

Apparently I do not have enough posts to PM yet, so here is one to add to the tally :) I am interested in 6 of these if they are still available. I live in Huntington Beach so we could either meet up at one of your trips to Orange or I could come to San Diego.

Apparently I also cannot add my e-mail to a post until a post count of 10 so if you could PM me with your e-mail :)

[ShinShin]

Very nice. Good job.

Thank you so much for commenting Mat. It means a lot coming from such a pro!! :D

[mmorris]

I'm sorry I don't live closer. This is the ideal way to buy discus, IMO - locally grown by someone who knows what they are doing.

[chaoslite]

Melissa,

Good job with the babies. If I knew how to grow them out and had the tank space, I would so buy some from you. Good Luck with your sale.

Im sorry you dont live closer too Martha! Id love to have another Discus lady friend close by, especially one as experienced as you are. :) Thank you so much for the compliment. I sure do hope i know what i'm doing LOL. It is very rewarding watching these pups develop and turn out so nicely. :)
