    Steve-O & Evelyn, thanks for the compliments but just lucky shots. Nice discus and a decent camera, all I do is push that shiny button on top of the camera. Some day I will have to read that manual that came with the camera.

    They look great, Bill! I don't see any fin burn or anything. They must've been packed well.

    I'll ask you the same I asked Steve. What was your process before dumping them in the tank?

    Hi Kirk

    I took the six bags out of the box and placed them in the tank to get the water in the bags up to the tank temperature. I rushed this because I was so anxious.
    While the bags were in the tank I washed my hands. Then one by one, pulled each bag out of the tank cut the top off with scissors, reached in the bag, grabbed the discus and slowly placed it in the tank. Once the top of the bag is opened I like to get the discus out of the bag as quick as I can but place the discus in the tank easy so it is calm going into the tank. Doesn't seem to bother them at all. I have had ammonia burns by dripping them but not had problems doing it this way yet. Have fun with the new discus, I'll have to check your page when you get them.

    Lately there has been some confusion as to who is running things around here...me or the fish
