Hey Mario, bet you want to see these too! ;) 2nd day free-swimming from parents of Wayne's and Tony's. Only about 40 frys this time and it's extremely difficult to see the frys, as both fish turned quite dark, to which I like.:p

Hi Steve,
The trip was very nice but the heat was unbearable without the A/C units.
Those fish are named Red Pupil Leopard's by Wayne and you should post some pictures of those honeycombe discus and check for similarity.

Hi Paulo,
It's nice to be back, regarding the shipment date I was in Macau then visiting relatives.Ha!Ha!
His new farm is almost ready but it is needs some upgrading, it is in the process of being upgraded. Attached some pictures of his tanks.
A Mae vai bem e ela aumentou 2 kg de peso.

Hi Kenny,

How many red fish do you need, it should be very easy to accomodate your request in about a month to two months time.Ha!Ha!
You have to give the breeder a break, the hatchery is still being upgraded from the move about three months ago.

Hi Walter,

When did you show up in Singapore.
Mario

;) ;)

I finally arrived at Saturday around 1:30am! I was supposed to be there a day earlier, but stupid Northworst airlines had a plane problem and WOULDN'T send me around the planet the other way (via Amsterdam, etc...) to get to Singapore (they gave me some excuse that my ticket was for crossing the Pacific and not the Atlantic). The Northworst people at the gate here in RDU made me wait an hour before trying to see if there was any other flights available and not once, did those people at the gate say they were sorry. They just brushed me off, and told me to call the reservation desk using their phones (which weren't charged and kept dropping the connection). On top of all of that, they sent my luggage to the wrong airport (Memphis which wasn't even on my flight schedule), so I was worried that it wouldn't be in Singapore when I arrived - fortunately, it was waiting for me when I arrived.

To add more salt to the wound, the next day when I did show up at the airport (I had no choice, they said since the flight was only delayed and not cancelled, they could not rebook me on another airline), my flight was late AGAIN and I barely caught the connection in Detroit (I was literally running to get to the gate - I usually pick about 1.25+ hours for layovers in case there's a delay). I was really irked over the whole fiasco, complained to them, and they gave me 5,000 flier miles (but I don't know when I'll be able to use those). Getting to Singapore has to be one of the hardest things for me - I've only been trying for the last 6+ years...
