For sale: two-inch (tail included) cobalt discus, $18 each, $16 each for 10 or more. I will post pics as soon as I get internet service back at home after the recent storm. Shipping is available as well as pick-up, and I may be able to bring them as far west as Pittsfield, Ma and as far east as Spencer (near Worcester). I also have Sterbai cories (six for $40), cherry shrimp (a dozen + for $10) and juvenile, un-sexed, German blue rams ($5 each). Live delivery guaranteed. Please pm me with any questions.

A few pics...I'm afraid I haven't had the time to take nice pics like I should, and the parents seem to be always dark with fry, as they are now with a new batch.

The kids look exceptional, Martha. Just for fun I'd like to see more pics of the parents.

mmorris
11-06-2011, 08:56 PM
Thanks Liz. They have fry now so new pics wouldn't be any better, I'm afraid. The cobalt color really is lovely. The last pic is of some older siblings, free-swimming the end of July. The photo was taken around six weeks ago.

Martha, the kids show more promise than the parents. (no, I was not looking at their darkened color) This has happened to me. My kids are often better than their parents. What we get out of the fish can depend more on what we put into them and how hard we cull than their genetics. I hope that you plan to keep the best for yourself. It's what I do. It's what a breeder HAS to do.

pm sent and thank you, Hendri. Liz, I kept the best out of a previous batch so the best in this batch are for sale. If only I had a bigger fish room...more resources...more time...Isn't that the way it is? I've kept the best rc's, the best browns, the best cobalts, the best bs's, the best...sigh

Looking forward to meeting you Thursday, Adam. :)

Blue SSs crossed with a brown based red makes for some varied and interesting fish. Perhaps since you don't live in Asia and are not able to do it all you should concentrate on what most rings your bell.

mmorris
11-07-2011, 09:33 PM
Tell me more, Liz! I'm growing out some bss and my browns are from rc parents. The browns are every bit as red as the rc. I suppose that's not what you meant by brown based reds?

LizStreithorst
11-07-2011, 09:46 PM
Do a search for Eddie's Solid SSs. IMO they were a cross between a brown based red and a SS. A cross like that is as variable as a BD SS cross. You might need to cross sib to sib before the SS gene showed up. I'm not sure. My feeling is the best cross would be to a barless brown based red but I'm just guessing. Rod would know. He knows all that stuff.

Nice Colbalts! And a great price i am just getting back into discus after a long long break from them. I just can't seem to stay away. Do you still have more availiable? Are you interested into any trades for shrimps? And do you allow pickups?
Let me know thanks.

Leo.

I guarantee that the fish will arrive alive, and they certainly are healthy when they leave my house. I don't know what you mean by healthy on delivery.

Colbalt pics looked nice; great looking fish. Can't wait to see what the turqs look like.

Martha, could you give me a ball park for shipping out to the Sacramento, CA area? Zip code 95765. I don't think I could be any farther from you, short of Hawaii.

Thanks

Martha- I have to take the time to say your cobalts are beautiful. If you end up with more in the future, I would love to know.... I live in Colorado now but spent time in Mass when I was younger. Still get back there periodically.

Good luck with your breeding program.

mmorris
03-14-2012, 03:58 PM
Thanks! I appreciate that! I won't have any cobalts for probably a couple months yet, but I have some high-body turqs I'm putting up for sale this weekend, and I will have blue turqs (turq x cobalt) available in two or three weeks.

LGelb

Martha,

Do you have pics of the high body turqs.

mmorris
03-14-2012, 05:09 PM
Hi Lance, I have pics of the parents. It's a small batch (their first) and with some local interest already, I doubt I will ship this batch. The parents have another, larger, batch 1 1/2 weeks old that I will probably ship. I'll post the cobalt/turq parents here as well (first picture). Their fry will be shipped. I should probably start a new thread when they are ready.
