    Default Fish From Our Trip To Mike Beals,Central Ohio Discus

    About 2 weeks ago Jeff,Josh and I went to see Pepper2,Bud,and from his place it was only about 50min to Mike Beals.I forgot my my camera in Josh's car,but aside from the fishroom,the three stingray tanks were very cool,largest I think was 450gals.Heres some of the fish I got,and we all got fish.
    Harmony Discus.

    They have 4-5 colors,yellow,orang,white,some have some black flecks,and hard to tell with the background,fins are blue.

    Jeff tried to pick me out a pair of blue diamonds,and I also grabbed the last albino red diamond.

    I don't know why I have always been a sucker for Calicos. These look great too. However, it is very rare to see any large/adult ones, which I have always found interesting.

    Bill, I hope that in your care we are able to see some large, healthy ones.

    Those blue diamonds have such great shape too! Please keep us updated.
