    Default Forrest's New Arrivals

    Hey all, to my surprise, my shipment arrived one day early. Here are some shots of them just added to the tank!

    3 X Altum Flora Snake Cross 9 bar
    3 X Altum Flora Snake Cross 14 bar
    2 X White Butterfly (Super Grade)
    2 X Albino Goldens

    Now, I have to tell you, the AF X SS 14 Bar are easily some of the most gorgeous fish I have ever seen at this size. The shape and pattern are UNREAL! They are all, more than what I asked for! Forrest does it right, every single time!









    Enjoy

    Hey Eddie...Congrats on the new fish. Very SWEET! I am sure they will be pumped up and growing in no time. I can see you in the near future supplying the LFS's around you with Discus fry!...Good luck with them, and please DON'T take them out of the water for another photo session!!!...Bill

    Nice fish Eddie. I'm very particular about my fish but there isn't one in that tank I wouldn't want to own! Must be nice to get hand picked stock from Forrest. I'm sure you will grow them out nicely! Good luck with them.

    Definitely Forrest! I will surely give them the best possible care they can get!

    Good call on the delay! Yup, the fish were supposed to arrive last week but Typhoon Morakot came right in the path between Taiwan and Okinawa. No planes were flying into Okinawa so my fish stayed a week in a private hotel, exporters tank, while the typhoon passed through. Then the original flight was due in tomorrow morning but I checked the cargo info for my shipment and to my surprise it showed arriving tonight. I raced to the airport and raced home. Just arrive back several hours ago and the fish are all safe and sound! These fish are top notch!

    Thanks Forrest, I know it was a lot to deal with on your part but everything worked out in the end.

    Forever grateful,

    Eddie

    Thanks Jason, I will give them a few more days to settle and their color will be alot more present. They are still very faded from the travels but the colors are gonna come in better in a few days.

    Appreciate the comments and take care,
