SoCal-8 Wilds from Discus Hans/Hudson

[Melissa]

FS:

4 x 5" Special Red Alenquers @ $80.00 each
4 x 6-7" NICE Special Red Alenquers $100.00 each

Originally purchased for a whole hell of a lot more LOL
I am taking a break from the hobby and these guys need a good home. They eat Al's Freeze Dried black worms, and live California Black Worms.

Here is a link to a video of them from today.

The tank is kind of dark- water is tea stained with Kents blackwater expert, and the lighting is very low... So in the video I had to use the light on the camera phone I was using... Kind of made them spook and school together a bit but you get the idea of what they look like. They're in 100% tap water right now, but their colors really shine in softer more appropriate water for wilds.

Pm if interested.
Or email MSFolkerts@gmail.com

This is someones chance to get some quality wilds at a fraction of the price they usually sell for, and you wont pay shipping expenses! Local pick up only (San Diego) or if you live anywhere between San Diego and Orange County, delivery can be arranged for a fee.

Forgot to mention...

There's some nice center bar action going on in a couple of these guys. And I also forgot to mention there are two domestics being housed with them in their 125g that you can see in the video... Those are for sale also.

Maybe it will make you guys feel better to know it's VERY temporary we are trying for baby number 3 and I'm just clearing my plate so to speak.... Having a 1 1/2 yr old and a 3 yr old and then having another one is going to be quite a challenge! But hell, I've raised hundreds of discus fry before, how hard can having another baby really be right?!? LOL!!

Even though you will be otherwise occupied for awhile please check in with us once in awhile and let us know how things are going in your life. And see you back with discus when you can! Once you have the discus bug it is usually for life, you know.

That is great to hear about being VERY temporary and also a future congrats to the third little one (I know, a little early). A set of wise parents once said to me that all is good until they outnumber you then all heck breaks loose.

Trying for a third???? I am dealing with my first and he is 5 weeks today and I am about to pull my hair out. Good luck with your sale I have always kept track of your threads and you do have some very nice fish. At that price someone will be very lucky!!!!

Re: SoCal-8 Wilds from Discus Hans/Hudson

Aw thanks ZX!

At 5 wks old babies are pretty challenging! It will get easier, and fast too! I miss my babies how they were when they were first born! LOL congratulations on your 5 wk old one day at a time brother! Lol

I will be back soon Barb! Discus have me by the heart for sure.
I'm thinking after the first trimester, when the fatigue and morning sickness go away I may get a small group to enjoy looking at in the 125g. And a rare thing for me.... I'll be sure to buy adults so there won't be any crazy WC schedule to contend with. I don't want to put this group of wilds through any neglect, so I hope to find them a new home soon.

Haha thanks Pat my lady!
Yeah, a 3rd is a game changer for sure... With two we are man-to-man.... With 3 we'll have to play a little zone defense...

Re: SoCal-8 Wilds from Discus Hans/Hudson

Wow Melissa! Sorry to see you taking a break, but it is for a very good reason. Good luck with the sale and remember practice makes perfect. So practice, practice, practice for number three and I am sure you will get it right.

If you don't sell them here put them on aquabid or eBay, they will sell.

Local fish club websites are a good place too.

Good luck Melissa

What a great reason for having to cut back on discus for awhile! =)

About that 3rd child thing. Totally a lie that it's harder than raising two of the little critters. That's a story we old timers tell to young parents just well, just cuz we can and we like seeing looks of horror on their faces. LOL

When the third baby comes along it all gets easier....trust me on this. You've already had time to work out the kinks on "the practice child" (yep, that's what I told my first born whenever he complained about my parenting skills or lack thereof). The second kid has already been broken in and conditioned to accept hand me downs and leftovers, and won't complain about being boxed in from both sides by attention-seeking-practice-child and attention demanding baby-of-the-family.

The only new issues to deal with are the tendency to spend too much time negotiating for peace on behalf of your youngest child and tending to forget to take your middle child seriously because he's just so darned amiable and easy going that you don't realize he feels left out of all the attention that "practice-child" and "baby of the family" get.

I'd wish you luck and tell you to have fun over the next month or two, but I have a feeling you don't need any excuses to "have fun" right now. Here's to kids... cute little buggers that they are. =)
