    He said to leave the lights off for three days. I'll send pics in a week or so.

    Oh! interesting, I am getting ready to order some (from Hans) as well, that makes sense though I was planning on leaving them off the first day maybe I will extend that.

    Excellent choice going with Kenny, you are guaranteed great fish and customer service! Congrats! I have five from him in QT right now and they are doing great.

    You may be able to get some good pics without the lights, but they will look even better for pictures in a week. Which strains?

    Exciting. Look forward to seeing them

    As anyone that has dealt with Kenny will tell you...you won't be disappointed. Kenny himself and his fish will always exceed expectation

    Oh you are all so lucky! Nothing cooler than the anticipation of getting that big warm box from Kenny! You can feel the heat through the holes. He packs them so well they will be perfect. It is really fun to watch them color up as they get more comfortable in the days and weeks to come.

    Remember to breathe when you unbox them! I always forget to

    Nice choices. I really wanted a red eagle so bad but missed out each time. I do have a tc turq, neon sapphire and golden check. All beautiful fish

    Those are all going to look great together. Look forwarded to seeing them once they settle in

    I have had the Discus exactly 1 week and the 4.5" Golden Checkerboard Pigeon layed eggs today on the side of the weir. She must like the tank. Pictures of my setup coming.
