Fish Nazi says Yes to me
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:50:07 PM »
Our local Fish Nazi (GrizzlysDad) has decided to allow me some WC Discus - Tefe Green.  The wholesaler tried the shipping method of - lets drug em up and see if they survive the shipping without water method.  So they came in pretty rough.  Tony can share his adventure getting them from the airport to home.  I'm optimistic that they will live.

Will post pictures shortly.

Beautiful, Jeff!
Thanks.  Not sure I agree YET.  They already look a lot better than when the pictures where taken a couple hours ago.  They should be real nice once settled in though.  Especially the largest of the 3.

Nice fish, i gotta ask whats the reasoning for the bare-bottom tank. Just wondering if that is just a transition type tank, or actual set up.
No longer fishroom, I have a FISH BASEMENT!!!

Still alive!!!  Little more active.  They actually ate too!  Coloring is getting better.  I'm hopefully optimistic at this point.
