Red Melons from CTDiscus

[KJoFan]

As alluded to in my challenge thread I got some nice red melons from Al today too. These are originally from Dan at Elite Aquaria I believe. So far, they are looking awesome! Just a few shots right after they went into the tank (sorry the glass is so dirty, I'll take care of that for the next ones :o):

Beautiful! If this is what they look like right after shipping, I can only imagine what's in store when they settle down and adjust to life in their new home.

Way to go, Al and Dan! :thumbsup:

These are from Dan originally , I bought a bunch of red mellons from him little one s for grow out and breeder stock.....I think the first month of a frys development is really critical..and so Hats of to Dan for getting them started:)...alls I did was feed em alot and change water.:antlers:

Wow, Karen, those look sweet outta the box!!! Best of luck!

[KJoFan]

Thanks guys. I like them too. :D They are a little huddled up right now it looks like so I'll keep the lights off and no feeding for today. See what tomorrow brings. I'm sure it doesn't help that they are right in the path of the DirecTV guy doing his installation right now! :)

Karen,

Glad you like them...Like Al said I shipped them to him back in August. The TLC Al gave those fish is fantastic. Just give them some of your TLC and they will be breeding by next summer....:D

[KJoFan]

If 3rd hand looks like this, I'll take that anytime! :D

Still a bit skittish today but looking good and eating.
