    Well as you saw from your visit I'm mostly into blues, but I wanted something to really contrast that. The marlboro reds I got for that purpose turned out to be a major disappointment, so I've been looking for a nice non-PB for quite some time.

    Glad to hear the fish have acclimated so well. They pretty much always ate anything I put in the tank so I'm not too surprised to hear they're eating well, especially with the nice variety of food you're offering them. I've always kind of enjoyed getting nipped, just another discus thing to smile about. As far as posting pictures goes, why not just start a new thread here in my homesteader section...call it Fish I got from Keith. Then I can harass a few other folks to add some pics too.

    LOL ok will do! I'll try to get some good pictures of them and then post. The last thing I want to do is detract from them because of shotty picture quality

    Oh man, I kid you not, when those turqs pair off if you've got an extra pair that you want to re-home I want them back. Dang, they turned exactly like I hoped they would with that pair. Sure wish that pair would start cooperating again. Stupid egg eating male!

    Very nice pictures that you posted. Hope you were able to take less than I would have had to to get them. The snakes you got from Bill are really really nice. Maybe it is a good thing you beat me to Chicago. jk It all worked out pretty well in the end for everyone I think.

    Jay, I really like those scribblets. When I first joined SD if Bill had shipped I would have been starting out with some of their fry. And Keith's RT are very nice.
    Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
