Hey Pat, did make it yesterday but unfortunatley didn't get to meet you :( I was in love with the wold crosses!! My Heckel Crosses have been growing like weeds and are now two of the bigger fish in the tank. Jeckel, who I beieve is female I think is the biggest fish in the tank. Got a new camera so I'll take some new pics soon :)

Wasn't able to stay long, but was a real pleasure meeing those of you that I finally got to meet after all these years :)

Journey home safely :)

It was nice meeting you but I wish I would have had a little more time to talk. Hopefully the next one we can visit a little more.

Holy crap...I missed Jim. Funning, I did not see any secret service agents or stretch limo out front or back but did not check the roof top for a chopper?
I was looking forward to meeting you Jim...my loss.

LOL

You guys are too funny :p Maybe next year I'll arrive in a stretch limo, but this year was way too soon lol Wish I could have been there earlier and longer and spent more time talking and getting to know everyone, hopefully next years won't be too far from (Hollywood :p ) home and we'll get a chance then. Some real nice crosses there, hell, some real nice everything there! I voted for the wild, and since it was the only wild in the competition (I think) I picked a winner lol

Phil - congrats on your promotion to Mod! Now you get the inside track in the mods section that most of us never get to see ;) My Heckel crosses are doing GREAT- they've both developed full blue coronas around their fins and have some blue dots near the heckel bar, plus, they're now some of the biggest fish in the tank! I'll try and put up some new pics soon (have a new camera to play with :) )

Also just picked up three new Juvies from Chicago Discus that are simply beautiful.. will try for pics within the next coule of days. I have an empty 90 acrylic, but no place to set it up, so my fish buying days may be over for awhile :( Now have 17 in my 180
