I must say, a nicer guy couldn't have won these fish. Although I did it to help the club, I'm so happy that they weren't won by some idiot.

I'm so pleased that you like them, Joe. Thanks for the excellent communication (I sweat beads of blood until I hear that they've arrived safely). I sure appreciated the call.

Liz,
I know the feeling. Glad they arrived safely & thanks to all who bought tickets.

Thank you for the kind words Liz. I enjoyed talking with you. They have settled in nicely since arriving yesterday. So, for all that have requested....

Joe, nice group of fish you have there. Liz raises nice ones.

[Disgirl]

What beauties those are! Good growing Liz! Congrats Joe!

Thanks ladies, and thanks Joe.

You're quite the photographer, aren't you? If we meet at a Discus show I will pick your brain over that. I can breed and raise a good fish, but my fancy camera is too smart for me.

[jacjoe]

Just thought you folks, especially Liz, might like a 6 month update. I couldn't catch them all in one photo.

They have grown nicely.

Wow, congratulations, they look beauteous!!!

Thanks, man. I was afraid that they had disappeared into oblivioun. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Lovely SSs, too. The two strains cross beautifully together;)

[Kingdom Come Discus]

Those are nice fish. I love Blue Diamonds and you and Liz sure have done your part.

[LizStreithorst]

Jakjoe, Do you see with the BDs that the ones that have a bar through the caudal have a better red eye? I see that in mine. A good small cherry red eye is hard to get in other than PBs. I do so want a perfect eye.

Wayne has mastered it in his BDs. So many important traits to breed for, so few fish available for purchase with the attributes we yearn for.

I'd like to see close ups of your SSs. They look very good.

[jacjoe]

Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the nice compliments.

I would describe the ones with caudal bar as more of an orange color. Those without are more yellow.
