Hi Michael, I tried to call you, but no worries. The fish all made it live, tho there was a small amount of leakage. The bag with the Albino Golden was quite low with water. They're all in the tank and appear to be doing well after the first hour or so. They're still quite shy, but slowly venturing out a bit. The Blue Cobalt appears to be blind in one eye, (his right eye is milky white) and so far he's staying to himself in one corner of the tank while the others are staying close to each other the other side of the tank...so I'll be keeping an eye on him. Their colors are returning quite well and their fins are up so that's a good sign. I'll feed them along with their tankmates at feeding time tonight, about 6pm. The bubble rams appear to be doing fine, having been greeted by the other rams I have. Very nice coloring over all, tho the Albino Golden is a bit pale, but as they're all young fish I expect their colors to mature.

Michael, I received the fish today right on time, and all five are healthy and swimming strong.

I have to admit that they are the most beautiful fish I have ever had. I love their shy and dramatic personality. They are mesmerizing to watch, and I can’t believe I haven’t learned about them sooner. Thank you for taking good care of them. The packaging was excellent.

We had a cold front come through Montana, which is not unusual, even for May, so they arrived a bit cold and sluggish, but they quickly perked up after acclimating. All five are happy and magnificent.

Photos are attached. Again, thank you for the excellent customer service and your attentiveness. I love my little gang. They all say hello 🙂

Sir, my recently arrived melon has some white pod like eggs on gills. I have attached a photo of the concern. Any idea what they may be? I have treated water with numerous parasite treatments. From Michael: You're an idiot. That part of the fish's pattern -- not parasites. Treating a fish that doesn't have an illness is a great way to kill it.

Michael & Team, Everyone arrived safely, right on time, Colors & patterns look Beyond Fantastic & Sizes are spot on. Red Eagle, Cobalt, Lollipop & Golden Pearl all looked amazing right out of the bag. Pictures Speak for themselves for 3.5”- 4” Crazy good. Now we’ll grow them out Strong & watch the Colors Blossom. Thanks Again & Props to you & your team!

Finally, here should be the photos of the fish received on Friday. All are doing well. Colors and striping are more than anticipated! My dream is using this for future foundation breeding stock.

Hi, yes the fish is alive and well. A little disappointed once again, it came in the wrong color. I wanted a red colored discus to complete my set (as shown in the first picture) - the fish is orange. I already have an orange one and my orange one is actually even darker colored. I know these fish change colors based on mood, health and growth. Maybe it will change to red, if not..not much I can do at this point.


For reference, the first picture is what I expected generally. From Michael: Hi April, the fish you selected is a “cross” strain, which means it’s not a pure red. Even in my photos, none of the fish exhibit a pure dark red color. Also, he’s still young. Thanks for keeping me posted. If a deep red is what you’re looking for, I have plenty to choose from next time. Please indicate your preference in the comments box on the order form.
