    Very generous indeed Lindsay. I know what it is like not having a tank setup for something you are bidding on, but I'm sure it can be done! Good luck!

    Thanks Ricardo,

    I will be seriously shocked if someone doesn't increase this bid. These fish retail for $200 each, I'm sure, plus the shipping and FDBW's....it's a steal at $725. I will have a tank up in no-time and be doing a happy dance the whole time. My realistic meter, sadly, says that this auction is about an $1100 value. But my fingers are crossed!!!

    Three day count down folks. These are sweet fish. I have seen them in person so I know. At this rate Lindsay is walking away with a sweet deal.

    Just under 12 hours left everyone. Dont miss out on these awesome fish and the chance to do a good thing here for SimplyDiscus. We don't get these opportunities often to auction off Fish here...but when we do they are always super nice Fish..hand picked for us.

    You know you want these fish...go for it!

    Good luck !

    Less than 4:30 left and this bid still stands? That's pretty amazing. Too bad my taxes didn't come out better.

    This is insane. I did bring a tank up, just in case. I can't believe that there's not somebody out there that's just playing it cool and waiting until the 11th hour to try to keep the price down. These are the nicest RSG's I've ever seen.

    Congratulations, Liz! And thank you to everyone who bid in the auction. These have been one of my favorite strains since I first saw them in person in 2014. I jumped at the chance to import them again. Ricky does not have these available very often!

    Ryan I've had tried unsuccessfully to buy a pair of good non-albino RSGs for 8 years. I even tried having a sponsor here special order some for me!

    These fish are more than I ever dreamed of owning. They are magnificent. They are show fish. I thought that they'd go for $1000. to $1200. They should have. I hope you can take consolation the fact that you have fulfilled my wildest discus dream. Thank you,
    Liz
