Last Sunday DiscusLoverJeff talked me into meeting him at Jeff Moys Exotic Discus.Some of my first fish were from him,but I hadn't been there in awhile since breeding kicked in and been busy this summer with work.Needless to say I caught a case of discus fever and left with fish I wasn't planning on.Jeff also purchased some fish.Jeff Moy was a great guy to deal with,and his prices are very reasonable.
I picked up these monsters and put them in a 40 breeder.

Aparently the fever wasn't done and I went back yesterday to pick up a pair that was spoken for,but the buyer backed out,you know who you are,lol.Im going to give them a shot,but Ive been baby-sitting some of Jeffs fish for him,and I want to put the male snow leopard eventually with a female valentine.

It's like trying to quit drugs as an addict. Harder to quit yet EASIER to get deeper into it.

Bill and I had a great experience by Jeff Moy for sure. I was hopefully able to help Bill pick out some male and females for his upcoming breeding program. Jeff's quality in fish were excellent. Bill did pick out some monster cobalts for sure. The male was 7" maybe more.

Since I cut back on my fish room, I still wanted to have at least one pair. I was able to borrow the giant Melon male from Bill and Jeff and I picked out a female. Hopefully I can pair them up.

Will post pictures soon.

Nice! That Albino straight-lined Turq is outstanding! I really like that snow leopard also. Now that's what I call snow leopard, not some red valentine some other seller was trying to sell as snow leopard.

They were some fish that paired up for him,and I bought both.They were not confirmed,working on that,they laid for me last night.In a tank of adults sometimes fish pair up,and at your request,Jeff Moy will try to pick out a male and female,or let you know if some fish might be pairing up.

Oh congratulations!

I had him try to pick out a may be male and female of platinum for me. Hopefully they are male and female, and pair up soon :)
