Woohoo - Got Discus

[wgtaylor]

The suspense has been building for days. Made it to the airport in record time this morning and met the contest discus as soon as FedEx opened.
By the time I got the discus home the suspense was really building.
Opened the box and the packaging was perfect, no leaks, great.



As much as I wanted to just open bags and check out the new babies I took the time to float them to match their temperature. Now the suspense is getting too much.



Could have let them float for a minute or so more but.....
Got out a pair of scissors, cut the top of a bag off, reached in and gently slipped each one in the tank one by one. Relief.....every one looked healthy and absolutely beautiful.



Thank you Al for all you have done to get these discus here. Thank you Kenny and Forrest for these beautiful discus.

Now I am going to go back to the tank and just admire for a while. I am happy.
