Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Al is a great person and does a great job with all his discus.

Hi all....

I tried for almost 2 years to get Ardan Fish for free...He's as stubborn as he is helpful here... and would have nothing to do with "free" We went back and forth many times....He is definetly a man of principal.
Most of what he got was free..had to charge him for things like the sponges and their bacterial colonies. and shipping.. otherwise he never would have let me send him any fish.

Just want to be honest on that. Don't want anyone drawing any conclusions... that might ruin my reputation (thanks paul!) whats important is ...Ardan has fish again.. thats whats important to me in all this.

He's as stubborn

you got me just don't let my wife know that she is right (she figured it out after all this time anyway)

Happy Early Birthday, yes??

Yes my wife gave the green light
Thank you!

Ardan, now go watch them swim and take good care of them.

Thank you George, I really am enjoying watching them, even did a wc, was a blast

The fish do look stunning, particularly considering they are straight out of transport!!

Yes they did real well! They already are coming to the front of the tanks, eating and swimming well Thanks Paul!
[QUOTEI know how hard it is to be without Discus when you're on the forum reading and admiring other peoples Discus][/QUOTE]Very true, I couldn't take it anymore

Congrats Ardan. Those fish really look nice and from what I read they are in good hands too

Thank you for the very kind words

WOW ......... That is fantastic for you Arden ........... Im sure you will enjoy having the discus around again.

And Al ......... What a Gesture indeed!! Gotta make you feel good hearing Ardens excitement about getting discus back in his tanks!

Just another reason why this is such a great community!!

I know how it feels to receive some free discus ......... especially when money is tight!!

My little blues i just got were offered to me from DONNAMITE (on here) , DEECEE (on aquaforums) and i was overwhelmed as well and am enjoying having them immensely!!

There truly are GOOD HEARTED people in this world!!!

Good for you Ardan. Watch out, this is only the beginning. Next thing you know you have too many tanks.

Nice Al. You're good people and we need more people like you.

AL!!!! That is really one of the best things that I have read here on the forum!!! People here really are some of the best that I have ever met!




Ardan!!! Congrats on becoming a new fish owner! They really are very beautiful and I am sure you will take excellent care of them. Definatley keep us updated with some more pics

[Ardan]

Im sure you will enjoy having the discus around again

I enjoy it immensely (sp?) Thank you.
Yes, I only had a set amount of money to spend, and then I let Al do the calculating. I do not think math is his strong point j/k Certainly according to my calculations these are worth a fortune
[QUOTEWatch out, this is only the beginning. Next thing you know you have too many tanks][/QUOTE] LOL, I have had to convince my wife many times for more tanks, but never enough..... Yes I am sure it will never end with this hobby But it 's a good hobby!

Whoa DUDE

People here really are some of the best that I have ever met!

You can say that again, and I think that is one of the best things about it all.
