Truely Spectacular. Gorgeous fish Martha. I love the amount of blue they carry. Nice shape.. I am praying for the spawn. Awsome.
Gauranteed DIBS on the babies :angel: :angel:

Coming from Aunt Martha would make them my cousins !!!!!

[thebigone]

Very very nice! I could use some of those in my tank if I only had the room.:D

Whats with the dip in the dorsal Aunt May????

[mmorris]

Hi Ms.D, Don't know. :)

[Eddie]

Hi Ms.D, Don't know. :)

Do they both have it, or just one. Can't really tell from the pictures. Doesn't matter though, they are beautiful fish and I'd definitely have them in my tanks at home. ;)

Take care,

Eddie

A couple of the female's hard rays aren't quite as long as they could be. Perhaps it's genetic. Perhaps it's not.

[ashaysathe]

Be as it may.. Awesome fish. I will take it any day. Cheers !!!

Show me an award-winning fish. I'll show you his flaws. ;)

[MSD]

I was just asking is it movement or the fin?

[Disgirl]

What beautiful fish Martha! Is there an interesting story to their beginning????

Hi Barb and thanks, the shipment had an apparent parasite problem. I spread it to my other tanks because I used the same hose and pump to fill the 125 gallon quarantine tank. I only have one pump. Everything else was separate, including hose for draining, and I made such an effort to keep the end of the hose out of the quarantine water but I managed to spread it anyway. It was awful. I lost my much-awaited batch of bss fry and the female, and several others. There was fin damage on some, so I don't know if the sapphires' hard rays were affected. Thanks to Paul's (pcsb23) never-ending patience, support and advice, I was able to save most of them. The supplier sent some replacements but these too had health issues. Dan posted some much-appreciated support. :)

[Disgirl]

Gee, what a story! Glad to hear you finally got things under control. I sure am glad to have gotten the help so far that SD has given me. Great place to come to read and learn!

Well, well, well, talk of blue sapphire fry and look who pops in! :D

The last batch was infertile but there's a bit of shaking going on. I think they'll have it down before too long. :)

Great color Martha, well done.

Ed

[TankWatcher]

Absolutely beautiful

[mmorris]

Thanks again guys. Let me add Eric of Carolina Discus had some homegrowns he was selling about a month ago for an excellent price. I doubt I will be shipping for quite some time, but I know Eric does.

Yeah, I got a dozen of them from 2 different spawns hoping to get a pair or two. They were tiny when I got them, but they are growing fast.

[mmorris]

Nice, Darrell!

[Darrell Ward]

Thanks.

[GrillMaster]

Make no mistake...Martha knows whats goin on with her fish!!! :)

If I had the water. I would have gotten under her wing already...:D :D

Uhmm, when u get tired of those fish posted in the beginning of your thread Martha, don't hesitate to bag 'em up and send them to Colorado!

Just a thought:D

[mmorris]
