    It's going to be a bit of a surprise, Pat. Either Tom will tell me beforehand or I'll be surprised when I open the box.

    He know's that I'm up to crossing types. I would adore making some with black faces rather than all orange ones. A new breeding that turns me on. I was so bummed when my Angel project failed. The Discus are so close to doing what they were meant to do. A Discus project along with a Ram project is a match made in heaven.

    Holy ! Am I a long distance daddy ? I never even thought long distance relationships could work ..

    This is all in the hands of the fish Gods now as they are 'in the mail ' !
    I sent Liz a nice pair of Electric Blue Rams [EBR] and a newer strain the Dark version of black rams ..
    She can breed both and then make hybrids like another ram nut I know !
    we should know Wednesday if they shipped well ! Even Express was 2 days ! Not to worried myself ..

    I won't make you be their father, but if they breed for me like I hope they will, like it or not I'm making you their grand dad. What ever I say, when I have offspring for sale I will make sure that I say that my stock comes Tom Muller aka coralbandit.

    I can't wait, Tom! Everything is ready, and I hope that this is OK but 1 pair will have to go in a 20. If you say I should re-silicone my leaking 10 and add it to the rack I will. Thank you for everything, Tom. You have a good heart and a fire in that heart for quality fish.

    I'm starting to chill some after being so high on my recent good luck.

    The rams arrived a day early! A day early from USPS! Can you believe it? I checked tracking when I got up and it said that they were in Mobile which put them right where they should be for delivery at 4 am tomorrow. I was all set to go and pick them up before official opening time. The Post Office people allow that when they know I'm waiting for a box of live fish. It's only that way in small towns.

    I was shocked when they called me at around 10:30 that the box had come in. Sometimes they make an extra trip with a box of live animals sent Express but they don't always. Wouldn't you figure I was grooming a dog when they called. But as soon as I was done with her dog and went to call her, I looked up and there her truck was sitting with her waiting. She knows about how long it takes me to do a grooming and she figured it was getting close to time. As soon as she left I was off like a shot to pick up my special fish.

    After floating the bags I put the fish in their new homes. As soon as a I put them in their respective tanks I was shocked. Fish usually loose color when they are stressed but these blew me away. I've never seen an EBR that was truly an electric blue until this pair. I have never seen a black so black. They are Pitch Black. And this, right out of the bags. I'm thrilled! Tom sent me some very special fish.

    So cool, Liz! Im very excited for you. I wish I was able to do your set-up, but my husband refuses to let me set up any more tanks. I have about 330 gallons of fish-tanks already in the house, so I understand. Hoping in the future I can convince him to plumb the garage and make my own fish-room
    Toms fish are special and very, very beautiful. I may need to get some of the EBR's myself.
    Pictures as soon as you can!!
