The Time Has Come To Say Goodbye....

[mmorris]

Well, ladies, I am shocked but I understand. I love my discus but I don't care too much for the hobby. I love the frontosas and thought seriously about keeping them before I turned to discus. I hope we can keep in touch.

You're a big part of Simply.....almost 10,000 posts woman!!!

For awhile I thought for sure she was gonna overtake Al's number.
I must admit the thought of some Blue Mobas is tempting.
Have fun Marie and don't be too worried when the Fronties start "eating" their eggs!

Marie I wish you all the best in your new adventure, frontosas WOW!!, they are beautiful and have thought about keeping them myself if only I had the room.
I hope you hang around at simply though, you made me feel welcome when I first joined as you do with all new members.
Have fun with your new adventure.

Gonna miss you woman

[Kenny's Discus]

Marie my friend, I'm with others on this...I think you'll be back. But for now I understanding your decision; raising discus requires a lot of commitment and time if you want to "do it right".

I've come to know you for a few years now. Thank you for your friendship and time we had together. You know you won't be going anywhere as I still know where to find you! Good luck to your Frontosas adventure and I hope you and Amber will have a lot of fun raising, or breeding those together!

May you have a very Happy New Year and don't forget us!

I guess yer gonna be over at "SC" quite a bit now huh?

Yep And other places too ~

Marie,

I am very sad to see that you will be leaving us

Thank You Dan! Thanks for all your support whenever I needed it from life to fish to health

WOW Marie,
that is very sad news for all of here at Simply

Oh, I think somehow everyone will manage, Peter But thank you!!

almost 10,000 posts woman!!! You will be hugely missed!!!

Leaving just in time huh, Deb? lol! I know someone will bring it up, no doubt ~ "Marie has hit 10,000 posts!"

Love Ya Deb!

Marie, I will definitely miss you.

Not anymore than I will miss you, Jose We became friends fast, yes? I will be around to check on your butt, make no mistake about that, Mr. Discus Hobbiest Challenger!

I really hope this doesn't mean you won't be cruisin' through and keepin' in touch.

I think that Simply is more in my blood than the fish ever was or will be Isn't that strange? Besides, I wouldn't want you to miss me too much, Jose!

don't be too worried when the Fronties start "eating" their eggs!

Not any more worried than I was when my discus eat their eggs

I hope you hang around at simply though, you made me feel welcome when I first joined as you do with all new members.

Thank you Nicole! I am glad you felt welcome and look where you are now, woman!

Gonna miss you woman

im in shock..but i can understand. i had so many discus..and nothing else for so long..and i used to read our local forum and think..how can they get excited over a plain ole fish.
but..now i have all kinds of fish due to me selling them and ive met a ton of nice fish people with all kinds of fish..and planted tanks..and ive come to appreciate other fish. they are alot less demanding thats for sure..taking me a bit of a time to get used to not overcleaning and overdoing wcs..but im learning. : ) i still have discus..as a matter of fact im getting a shipment in from kenny on thursday. most for sale..some for me..
although..i had frontosas before..they didnt do anything for me. kinda boring..
theres always a south american tank..community tank planted. thats fun..but the fact you only have limited space..you can always try different things at different times.

[April]

holy mackerel marie..you have more posts than me..and ive been a mod here since the beginning!!

[Kindredspirit]

Well ya better catch up, April! I will miss you.....Oh crap, my eyes are watering...

[Jason]

Wow Its sad to see you go, but I understand...even Jack Wattley gave up discus for frogs.
I wish the both of you all the best and I know you will take the beauty of our hobby with you wherever you go.

[Jason]

ok Marie....I'll admit it.....

I have more PLECO's than discus right now

[crimson cross]

Hi Marie, sorry to see you giving up on discus (for the moment), but you'll be back later, I am quite sure of that...anyway, have a great frontosa journey. Take care .
Phil.

[digthemlows]

Man and I'm right here in Sacramento looking for a couple of discus to add to the tank!!! ......enjoy your adventure......I left discus for 10 years and now I'm back!

[Palue]

Hi to both of you. I am relativley new here so I don't know you both like the others do but I can certainly understand where you are coming from. I use to breed Angels on a large scale and when it becomes boring and all work on cleaning and not enjoying the fish anymore it is time to move on.

I did just that and have stayed with just the one tank and have never looked back.

So enjoy your new fish and best of luck to you both....
