I am responding although I ain't interested in the whole enchilada. It's a hell of a deal for someone who wants it and can PU. If it comes to the point where you have to break it up, I'm interested in the heaters (need to know what kind they are) and the Brine shrimp eggs.

Sonny, sad to see you go. Your fish got me started in the hobby. Even though I killed my first set from you, I appreciated you throwing in a few extras the second time I came to visit.

For those that haven't seen his setup (I would be shocked if anyone local hasn't since he is like one of only a handful of local breeders in the ohio area to sell discus), he has a lot of nice equipment and fish. I would pick it up in a second if I had that kind of room. I mentioned it to my wife and even she was game (as she was there both times we went to visit Sonny).

His largest tanks are amazing. If anyone in the local area is interested, I would be interested in splitting this with them and we can divvy up the work and equipment. I think I might need at least two-three interested partners as I can't absorb that much equipment. PM me and I can work out an agreement with you.

+1, I too have visited Sonny and purchased his fish with my wife. We hate to see Sonny stop breeding. There are not many breeders around and shipping fish is so expensive. It's been nice to go see Sonny's fish and chat about discus. He has taught me a few things. I just don't think I have the time to take it on that big.

That's sounds like an unbelievable deal. I would love a setup like that, I don't think there's a chance it will happen in Australia.

I am sorry Sonny I never got the chance to meet you after we talked on the phone several times. If you decide to split some of this up let me know I might take some of it off your hands. Good luck with the sale hate to see you go.

Are you considering selling the discus separately yet?

Wow! Can't believe you really sold it all Sonny. Now I guess you guys have the job of moving it all. If you need help give me a call 513-205-6142. I'm only 15 minutes away. I called and left you a message Sonny. And Jeff if it's you who purchased it all that offer is for you too or whomever. I know that is going to be a job with so many tanks, and some monster tanks. At 51 the back is not what it used to be, but I still say those kids can't keep up with me. So anyway just give me a call and I'll be there. Not asking for anything in return.
