Help me welcome Al to the neighborhood. He moved in last night late and the fish are settling into their tanks in Al's new fishroom. Hope you enjoy the new digs Al. You will find the neighbors are friendly and view spectacular. There is also a little surprise in your new bar. :):)
Enjoy,
Pat

Hi all Thank you Pat it feels great to have such great neighbors, I love this Forum I has helped me a lot, I have been in the discus hobby only 2 years and I had my ups and my downs , now I finally have settled in I currently have 11 tanks running , yes things got out of hand as I am now a breeder not to make a ton of money just to help pay for some bills acquired , my other hobby is tequila I collect it for the most part I do enjoy drinking it but i have a very good self control, I consider my self a happy friendly person who likes BBQ in my back yard with my three adult son 2 grand kids and my wife that has put up with me for so long, I thank this forum for all I have learned.

I have never been called a troublemaker so he must be talking about you and Ismael. I am as innocent as the day is long.
