Here are 5 of my 6 new fish.
Left to right:
Tangerine, Leopard, Super Red, High-Fin Cobalt (x2). The 6th is another Tangerine and is being shy.

Mike,

Nice fish!

I can't resist a couple more pix.







By the way Paul, I was in Hampshire just last week on business. I actually stayed in Salisbury across the street from the Cathedral, but was driven around quite a bit of south-western England.

looks like you skipped the juvies and went straight to teenagers. Where did you get your fish? Love the pics and keep em' coming.

I got the fish at Gwynnbrook Farms in MD. I live next door to the hatchery. The price was right and since they were going into a planted tank w/ tetras I decided to go for the less sensitive, more mature fish.

Can't get any better than that!! Great pics. Living that close to a discus farm I'm sure you'll get more.

Nice fish.

It will be nice to see how the tank now matures with your new fish.

Are you planning for any more?

Well next time your over, let me know and lets see if we can't meet up for a beer and some food!

Fish are looking good!.

Update:

The fish have gotten over their shyness. They now to come to the front and beg for food whenever someone walks by. At first they would only eat frozen food. I was giving them mysis and brine shrimp. Then I got some frozen blood worms and beef heart which they also appear to enjoy. Yesterday my wife put in some Omega I flakes and they ate that up too. They have become quite piggish.
