Kingdom Come Discus Contest Fish
Here are fish from Martha Morris I will be entering in the contest. Martha was kind enough to keep these for me since she agreed to sell them to me August 1st.
She is planning on sending them to me next week when I get back from a short trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway/Asheville NC.
Al told me to post the pictures here and as soon as I get the fish he will put them on the contest section.
Taken August 1st.

Of course the Watanabe Cobalt pair stopped spawning after I sent the last batch to Skip. I do hope to get another batch from some of Hans' nice pairs but time is running out.

Kraig,
Very nice but what are they?

Don't lose hope Kraig! Pretty sure we got our Hans shipments at the same time and I've got two of the three pairs on eggs now, you and me both know how quickly they settle in, they may yet give you some more fry to keep you busy :) I'm hoping I get at least one more batch that I want to throw into the competition.
Re: Kingdom Come Discus Contest Fish
Nice Kraig. I am going to bring Martha down to Fla so she can show me how to get that nice uniform size across all the fry.
Re: Kingdom Come Discus Contest Fish
Not just the fry but the 2 and 3 inch fish are amazingly the same shape and size.

I hope you are right Drew. None the less I at least hope you get a batch or two.

Nice Kraig! I'm sorta doing the same thing with Pat and her latest batch of f1 fry. They went free swimming today, and provided that enough of them survive to dime size, we're going to try to ship them out to me so I can raise them for the contest.
I'm also considering giving my Red Scrib/BT pair a shot at making me some babies before Sept. 1st.

Kraig,
Are those wrigglers from the Pigeon Reds you got from Hans?

Toni, I know Pat will have some very nice fish for you. It will be interesting to see you two compete.

Hope to have more Skip by Sept. 1st. When are you going to enter yours?
Re: Kingdom Come Discus Contest Fish
The fish arrived today from Martha. A lot of work for her. Great Shipping and professional packaging. Sorry Rick I just saw my reply to you did not post. These are high bodied Red Turquoise.

Re: Kingdom Come Discus Contest Fish
It looks as if the Han's raffle fish's spawn is going to make it. They are free swimming for three days today.
