I am going to the airport to pick up 42 pcs of discus, they are all from my friend David Webber Wildthing!

It is a 1.5 hours drive...

Will post pictures later.

Unpacking fish, with David's professional service.
The temp is 25C (I have to rise our tank water to that) after more than 24 hours on the air and road. The ph is 6.3.

David put 2 heat packs in each box, and the heat packs were still warm.

We ordered 40 pcs all together and David put 4 pcs of extra in.

Acturally we dropped 2 boxes and did not do any damage to the packages!

Great pics Martin, thanks for sharing! Beautiful fish, and your baby is looking good too, LOL ;D. It is so neat to see pics/fish/babies from another part of the world, again a part of the magic of Simply and the internet!

Martin, at first I was wondering. "why doesn't he just take the airport train to the airport?" then I saw how many boxes you received and realized that's why! ;D

Hope your fish and baby are doing fine. :) :) :)

Don, Ping, the baby is doing fine! Putting weigh on. ;D

Wahter,
It is so expensive to travel by the Airport Express and it do not stop at the air cargo terminal! Yes! 6 boxes full!
They are in Kevin's place, and he is looking after them. All the fishes are up and swimming after 2 days.(We had fish lieing flat for 2 weeks before.)
