Thanks John, I just wish I was ready to buy fish, but I'm still in the research and planning stage right now.

[John_Nicholson]

I would suggest getting ready in a hurry. It would be a shame to miss out on this quality of fish.

Agreed, I can't imagine a better time to buy into the hobby than at this event. You're likely to never see so many discus in one place again.

That's what i'm looking forward to, all the discus up for sale. I just bought a tank just for all the NADA discus I'm planning on bringing home!!

Welcome to the map Che Mcneary. Another marker in Michigan.

We're in bonus, room discount time here. If you haven't booked a hotel room for the NADA show yet you've already missed the original deadline. Don't miss the revised deadline, it could cost you $100 a night.

Welcome to the map Roy Saric. The markers in the New York area are making the map look almost as crowded as the city. Well done.

Newbie question about NADA.

If you purchase Discus at NADA I assume two things:
1) They will hold the discus until Sunday.
2) They will box up the Discus for me when I leave.

I ask because I don't want to be in Chicago trying to track boxes to ship my new discus. Also I will be driving my discus home.

Thanks,
Tim

Yes, if you purchase discus at the Show they will be held till Sunday. Typically all Show fish will remain in the Show tanks till Sunday and possession is not taken till after the judging is done.If you plan on purchasing discus, if possible it would be best to bring a styro box with you. The vendors will have boxes that their Show fish arrive in but they aren't one to a box so they don't always have boxes available for every fish sold. They will be happy to bag them for you. A large number of us don't box our purchases so it usually works out. If you will be driving your fish home then I would suggest that there is a much better way to transport them. I will be bringing 5 gallon buckets with me. I will have a air pump that I will plug into a power invertor and air stones to go into each bucket. I don't worry about heaters. The water in the buckets will remain in the mid to upper 70's because that is the temp I will keep the car at and that temp will be just fine for the 12 hour drive. My longest drive transporting this way was coming back from the Austin Show. That was a 17 hour drive. We took fish out to the Show and returned with fish and no issues. I have been know to drive with the temp of the car in the 80's but have since learned that really isn't necessary, lol.

Thanks Larry!

I do have one large styro box I could bring. Luckily for me Chicago to home is only about 5 hours!

Thanks!
