    Default Great Visit

    Thanks to Johnny's suggestion, I got a chance to visit Bay Area Discus while on a family vacation to San Francisco. My wife wanted to spend time with her sister in San Jose and was more than pleased not to have to hear my "witty" observations during the visit. So I got a chance to visit Alex and his very small, but high quality, set up in Sunnyvale. This is a video of Blue Diamonds and Checkerboards (at least, that's what I call them).



    As you can see, the body shape and coloration are good. In my experience, BD's loses their red eye color in soft water, but regain it in harder water. Alex is cursed with soft water (TDS ~ 55 ppm). I can't say with certainty, but I'd expect these Blue Diamonds will have red eyes in harder water.
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    I didn't expect someone visit me from Minneapolis
    It was good to see you Willie and hope you had a good vacation time in Nor Cal!
    I think we could share good shipping experience with TSA

    Thanks,
    -Alex.

    If you're ever in the Bay Area, make a point of visiting Alex. His contact information is on the website. Two more videos from his fish room



    The fish look like they're crammed together on this next video due to the angle of the camera and the lighting from the right, but not really.



    Alex was nice enough to meet me at San Francisco airport, about an hour drive from his place, with my fish.
