    Finally had a chance to meet someone from the board. Ken (Teleman) and his fiancée rode down on their Harley (nice bike) and spent the afternoon with hubby and me. All the discus were on their best behavior and Ken seem to like what he saw. His love is the wild greens so had to mop the floor a couple times watching the tefes. Even scaleless (N. red who have been sick in the disease section) ate FDBWs tonight so all is good.

    Pictures of the tefes tonight. I really like these guys and for greens appear to have some decent shapes on them (MHO).

    Thank Eddie, You said the greens would be fun and easy and I do believe you will be right on with them. Maybe in time I will try heckels. I want to get some time in on what I have first.

    So what is the mystique with heckels? They seem to be the wild golden grail.

    Has to be more to it then that. Difficulty with captive breeding with heckel x heckel (how to convince the female heckel to get sexy) etc.

    Hi Pat, Just wanted to let You and Hubby know that Donna and I had a wonderful time with you yesterday. We appreciate your hospitality and The fish look great. You are definitely on the right track with your care and the fish John has sent you are top notch. I can't wait until I got my setups ready to go. I agree with Eddie, it's time to add some Heckels to the group.
    Regards
    Ken

    Ken, heckels would require another tank but once I find the replacement 180 we shall see. I throughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to more of those. It is very nice to get some face time with another discus person and you definitely know your way around a discus. Thank you for your kind comments and I'm glad I'm on the right track with these beautiful fish. I look forward to more of your wonderful stories.
    Take care and until next time.
    Pat

    ps. Keep offering to help your buddy to get those stands ready.

    I have not been here in a while and will close out this chapter of my wilds journal and start another thread. This one is getting quite heavy.
