They have been getting multiple feedings a day and 100% wc per day. All the fish are extremely healthy...I have not treated them with anything at all as of yet....I will be giving them a single dose of Prazi before I ship them to remove any possible tapeworms... What the contestants do with them after that is soley their responsibility.

    I am planning to begin shipping these fish after May 18Th and hope to everyones fish out of here by May 22 nd.


    take care all,
    al

    Hey Al, that's great news, I'm anxious to see these guys.
    Already started out right on your Surf and Turf beefheart seafood mix, more good news.

    That has to be a bunch of extra work for you, must be about 60 extra mouths for you to feed. I sure appreciate all you do for the contest up front to get it going. Thank You !

    Okay everyone,
    I've been getting in contact with the contestants and trying to figure out when is a good time for them to recieve them this week... Some will start getting them as early as Tuesday

    I took some movies of these guys eating that I thought I would share with you all... These are movie clips of them eating Ocean Nutrition Formula One pellets and another feeding of them eating my homemade Surf and Turf Mix.(50 % beefheart/50% seafood)..

    Hey Al, great video's.

    Those guys look great. Looks like they might eat a hole in the bottom of the tank going after your homemade Surf and Turf Mix.
    That might be a key to winning the competition.

    Looking forward to getting my group.

    Man Al, they are tearing those pellets up! Killer wolves on your hands. They look fantastic.

    Very lucky contestants for receiving those gorgeous and hardy discus.

    All the best everyone,
