My NADA New Jersey Purchases

I made the mistake in Chicago of working on the show so much virtually every fish I considered buying was already sold. What is it they say about never making the same mistake twice? These were all fish brought from Singapore by Peter Loh and Andy Hwang that now reside in my fishroom.

Re: My NADA New Jersey Purchases

They are all very good, but that first one...What a fish! You have a gem of great value. Are you planning to breed her to the second fish? The first looks very much like a female and the second looks male.

Congrats and best of luck with them.

Re: My NADA New Jersey Purchases

Thanks Filip, I agree on both counts.

They're in quarantine together Liz with one of Barb's cones and I'm trying to give them the proper conditions...the rest is up to them. :D

Some stunning fish for sure! Blues are my favorite but those reds are jaw dropping.

Pat - I know you know how I agonized over which of Peter's fish to purchase, but I'm quite glad I went with the reds.

Fingers crossed there is a list Al.

Thanks Chris.

I'm partial to blues as well Sean, but I may be reconsidering that position after purchasing those RGDs.

Re: My NADA New Jersey Purchases

I also prefer a more natural appearing fish but quality is quality and you got it with those reds. I feel certain that there will be a list for Al to be at the top of.

Keith, when you showed me that those fish were yours at the show, I thought quietly to myself .... wow - those are real beauties - never seen anything like them - they're going to provide fantastic parentage - and I bet they will !!!

What a coup - I'm sure you're very proud - I certainly would be !

Nope, all quiet on the Southern front. The only romance in the air is my own.

Funny how the only one on the forum who's seen Susan's picture and previously heard about her wants me to spill the beans.

Susan is just one of the many things that have been dominating my time, but she's by far the most enjoyable one. This is the time of year I'm traveling for work half or more of the time. I've also been trying to get construction in my basement done to the point where I can get the thin coat plaster guy in to put a finish on the new walls. Unfortunately I keep adding new things to the build out plan so I'm not as close to completion as I'd like to be. Toss in some church stuff and other household things and I've been pretty busy.

I'm still going to want some help with that "new" Oceanic 65 gallon tank I picked up one of these days. Of course I still have to clean it up first.

So we learn from above that Susan is a red head and very voluptuous. Nice job Keith! :angel:

Happy to assist with the Oceanic tank, just let me know and I'll come down. Oh, how are the ideas for the sump coming along? Hopefully, faster than the buildout.

Well you're half right. :D

Nope, nothing with the Oceanic has progressed at all.
