New Discus Shipment!

Here they are folks. From my good friend Kenny of Kenny's Discus in California. Same conclusion as always. #1 in customer service, excellent packing with no leaks at all still warm, and awesome fish. I've never seen fish this excited and...normal after overnight shipping across the country. Its almost like they just sleep the entire trip then are wide awake and playful when they get here in the morning.

They are settling in, but with the way they were acting I knew they were close to 0% stress so I snapped some pictures. Nothing fancy, just wanted to show you them literally 30mins-1hr after getting the box from the fedex man.

Inside a cardboard shipping box is a white styro cooler packed like a nest with bags! One big bag holds the smaller fish bags. Each fish was at LEAST quadruple bagged with a newspaper liner in one of them to transfer heat and soak up any water that might drip.




The aftermath


And this is what comes out. ;D

 

Here they are literally, 30mins-1hr after opening the cardboard box. The light ones are Albino Blue Diamond "throwbacks". Red ones are Flamingos.







Stick out in a crowd

 

wow slug they are some gorgeous fish. I wish my ph in this area was not so hi, I would love a discus tank. Keep up with the pics I love looking at your posts.

 

They're GORGEOUS! Most probably from Malaysia right? haha When I look at your aftermath photo, it looks if you were so excited to open them you cut them out with a scissors :giggle: What tank are you keeping them in?

 

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks all. Yes they originate in Malaysia from a guy named Forrest.

 

Wow, Matt!!! They are absolutely stunning!

OMG the picture with the 3 together is priceless! What beautiful fish!

 

Wow, do you mind me asking how much you paid for them, they look expensive.

 

I'll PM you. Its kind of sticker shock for a lot of people. You only live once is my philosophy.

 

I think the pic of the 3 together could be a good contender in fish of the month
How many of each type is there? What size tank?
