    Lots of promise in these blues Larry. Is it the Maracana showing the red? My Uatuma blue's base body color is sort of plain but the striations and shape are quite nice.

    Thanks Pat. It is only one week so a long way to go before they really start showing. In these pics it is the Maracana that are showing more red. The one royal who is a camera hog shows very little red and blue striations. The other royal has more red than this one but is not a big fan of the camera and didn't make it into these pics.

    Bob and Rod have posted some new pics of the Maracana they just got in and they seem to show a lot of red also. I have three coming from them to finish out my blue group so it will be interesting to see how the two groups of Maracana compare.

    Needed some driftwood for the Blues tank. PC1 came through as usual with some great pieces of manzanita. Just dropped them in to tank today so they are still floating. My wife wants me to fix them to stay this way. We will see.

    Good day for deliveries at my house today. I also received 3 Manacara Semi Royals from Bob and Rod. Have them in a separate QT right now. Great potential in these guys. Bob and Rod are getting in some excellent Wild Stock. Just took a couple of pictures since they were just shipped today. Will post more later.

    Larry, amazing what a couple of days and a little wood will do. They are settling nicely. Now Bob and Rod fish are already settled lol. Like the one in the second picture, nice fish. (Bet the fish in the first pic is the same as in the second).

    Got a chance to get some more shots of the Blues from Bob and Rod. These guys have really settled in nice. If they look really big................that is because they are. If they look really round.....................thats because they really are. These guys are going to be a great adddition to my wild blue tank. The biggest of the three looks like it may be a royal instead of semi. Striations are showing more and more and appears to have a thick center bar.

    Don't be jealous Trish. Mark at Discus Origins has a great new shipment of wilds coming in. Bob and Rod have some great wilds on sale and Snookn21 has some great wilds in. I've bought from each of them and they all get high praise from me. Sounds like you just need to set up a wilds tank.
