good day to all you fine folks at Simply. Just wanted to share this awesome experiece that I had. less than a week ago I posted online that I could use some breeding cones, and asked where was a good place to order some. within minutes I get a PM from Kenny basically saying "I got extra cones, shoot me your address and how many you want and Ill hook you up" I was shocked at the graciousness of this guy that I have never even had a solo chat with. He just saw another hobbyist in need, and said, I can help! anyway, no more than a day after I sent my address, he had them in the mail to me, and I juuuuust got them today when I got home!

these cones are EXACTLY what I was looking for, and if it wasnt for Ken, I would have easily spent 100 bucks on these on the internet. the packaging was perfect! Kenny used bubble wrap, the big inflated bags, foam, the works. It felt like I had just received a package of Discus from the OTHER Kenny LOL...thats how well they were boxed up! I figured Id find a heat pack or 2 in there!! :p:p JK!

all in all, its people like Ken H. that make Simply such the great place that it is. good hearted hobbyist like Kenny who see another person in need, and go out of their way to help. it just brightened up my day!

anyways, heres a few pics of the box and the cones, and later I will be posting pics of them in my tanks!! did I forget to mention these cones are all BRAND spankin new, so all I have to do is give them a good rinse! :D:D:D:D

I couldnt be happier, a million thank yous to you Kenny, my friend! I know I have another good friend here on Simply, and if there is ever any way I can return a favor for Ken, I would be more than happy to do so!

Thanks again, and take care you guys!! :)

Nice! I know it can be hit or miss sometimes when you post. I finally decided to get a terracotta pot at the local gardening shop. Not as fancy, but it will work.

Good luck with your pairs.

I had also expressed interest a long time ago to Kenny about looking for breeding cones and he PMed me that he had extras. We PMed a few times back and forth. I asked about how much they were and how much shipping would be to my address.

Kenny sent me 2 breeding cones, that arrived today, FOR FREE. No cost for the cones and no shipping cost. He shipped them UPS and the packaging was amazing. It's hard to find kindness like this in today's world.

Thank you very much Kenny, I hope this kindness is reciprocated tenfold back to you, and if you need anything from me, never hesitate to ask.
