Violet Reflections from Discus Fantasy

[Discusgeo]

Looks like I get to be the first to show you my Violet Reflections from Danny at Discus Fantasy. They arived in Phoenix around 10:30 this morning and by 11:30. They are swimming in a newly setup home, a 100 gal tank. So far they have been doing great and look wonderful. I did feed them frozen Brine shrimp after the pictures just so everyone can see them the way I got them. Once I put the BS in the tank they all started eating right away. Danny thanks for the nice Discus and the poster too. I will post new pictures in 2 weeks. On the top of each picture there are small air bubbles on the glass which I noticed after the pictures were taken. I am using a new Canon Powershot A70 so please bear with me as they are the first one to come out halfway decent.

Hector the size is right around 1 1/2" and they will set you back $35.00 each. Gary I never noticed the rainbow until it was pointed out.
Thanks

Looking good. They look tiny in that big tank. I'm sure they will turn out to be beautiful fish.

I see big eyes.

Are those the fish that were in the pics originally?
keep us posted.

[Discusgeo]

April as far as I know these are the Discus that Danny orginally offered for sale. I only got them yesterday because I had to set up a new tank for them.

Ok Everyone,
Glad to see We worked things out with danny. now remember after they settle in for a few days we need to see pics and Your Opion.

From what I hear most of You will be getting Vrs from a new batch and not from the batch in the pic.

However I did not receive Mine yet But I demand the ones in the pic thats what this was all about.

Mine will be sent to mat P first then sent to Me I just want Everyone to remember why we are doing this and would hope to see many pics.

Plain and simple the Vrs in the pic look not so good there is No need to bust danny's balls We all no he's a good guy but is his supplyer?

TakeCare,
Cary Gld!




Anyway, we can see from the pictures you posted George that Danny does have very nice, round, healthy VR youngsters for sale. It looks like you got a really nice batch that should grow into outstanding adults. It will be fun to see the size all of you get on them.

My daughter and I drove up to see Danny last weekend. Danny is a gentleman and a great host. He was kind enough to spend an hour talking with me and showing me his fishroom before he had to go to work on Sunday morning. It was not long before his wife had my 8 year old on the couch eating cookies and watching tv. He has some very nice strains and it is obvious that he takes much pride in the fish he has and the care they recieve. I spoke with him about this contraversy with the Violet Reflections and I felt kinda guilty taking the fish, but, especially after getting the fish home and taking some pictures myself. There is nothing wrong with those fish and I highly doubt there was anything wrong with the previous batch. I have no problems getting fish from Danny and will continue to in the future. The fish were settled in and enjoying some whiteworms and blackworms before sunset. I am glad I went to meet Danny in person, as I feel I left having made a freind and fellow fish keeper. I am looking forward to him comming to Austin to see my little set-up. Here are a couple of not so good pics I took the evening I brought them home. I will take more and hopefully better ones as they grow.
