    They've settled in well. In fact they are happy as clams. (I wonder where that saying came from. How does one tell that a clam is happy?) I fed them some just a bit of Al's Blackworms last night and they ate them. I scooped up a net full of mosquito larvea and they went on a hunting frenzy. I'll be posting pics soon.

    I just snapped a bunch. Let me look at them and separate the wheat from the chaff. It takes a little time but I'm on it now, you nags,

    As requested I have pics for you. Miranda sent me pics of every one of the 8 fish, but the choice was mine.

    One fish is obviously the best he is a male. Two other fish are quite good. One is a male the other appears to be a female. I should have quit there but I had decided to buy 4 fish.

    The first pic is about an hour out of the bag. It is a sin to post pics of big an hour out of the bags put people should know what they will see. The fish don't look happy at all. This is normal.

    The second pic is of the same fish this afternoon. You can tell that they're comfortable in their new home.

    The rest of the pics are of the individual fish.

    You got yourself some very fine looking Discus Liz. Thumbs up to the fine ladies behind Chicago Discus.
    I possibly see 2 males 2 females but think you will get a pair for sure.

    They all look great, but I really like the one (maybe two) with the coppery head and more pronounced bars. They certainly live up to the hype.

    For some reason one of the pics didn't post. Oh well...

    The bottom line is that I am totally delighted. All I needed was one good male and one good female to breed with my existing good female and male fish. But it's not wise to buy just to in case you make a mistake. I received what I needed and I have two other good fish I may want to use at a later time.

    In case anyone hasn't noticed I am totally into breeding. If I can't breed fish keeping is no fun for me.
