The Blue Scorpion pair that I got from you two weeks ago spawned today. Thank you for the gorgious fish. I will let you
know how it goes.
I know its wishful thinking on the first spawn but we will see by Sunday how good he is at this point.

Tony,
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and thank-you for the discuss' that I ordered from you last week. Just
to remind you who I am, I ordered the following:
1 blue diamond
1 Yellow Diamond
2 German Cobalt
You shipped these fish to Queens if you remember.
The fish are beautiful and very happy in the tank. The transition was rather easy and you can tell the quality of the
fish just by looking at them. The Blue Diamond is attempting to be the leader in the tank (he's a little bigger than the rest).
I want to thank-you for everything and I will definitely be doing business with you again. I wanted to get some Cardinal Tetras,
how much are they???
Regards,
Justin

I am tardy in saying thank you for the quick response and shipment of medication for my discus. All 7 survived even though
they had lost alot of slim and had stopped eating. Even the one who stayed on his side floating on the surface made it and
a few weeks later he was back to fertalizing eggs. The medicine is certainly a miracle drug. Gloria Las Vegas NV.

Tony, fish look great.They arrived at my home from O'Hare in great condition.I'm amazed at the color they are producing
at the size they are. They are exactly as your web site said. I'm going to let these grow and use for breeding purposes. Please

Subject: THE BEST :-)
Hi Tony,
I have been involved in the Tropical Fish business now for over thirty years. I have traveled the world purchasing and
collecting everything from Guppies to Discus. My hobby has taken me through simple fish keeping as a child, breeding and distributing
Schmidt Focke Discus, publishing articles
and books about Discus with TFH and Jack Wattley. I even owned and operated one of Canada's largest fish wholesale operations.
I have shipped and received thousands of Discus in my time, but NONE better than this !!!
Your fish were of PERFECT conformity, color and health ! There is nothing better than expecting "ok" fish, only
to be amazed by wonderful representations of EXCELLENT quality.
Tony, your packing skills are also second to none! Due to a carrier delay, my fish arrived in forty eight hours. Every
fish swam out of their bags as if they were just taken from the aquarium, all without a blemish.
THANK YOU Tony for the FANTASTIC Discus ! I definitely will mention your name to everyone I know in the Discus hobby !
Your Friend

Hey Tony, thought it would let ya know how everything is going. All I can say is I am very impressed with the fish you
sent us, these guys are growing like weeds, super nice fish. I've had zero problems with them to date other
than one of the Red turquoises getting contstipated a couple times, but thats probably just from diet change, and easily
fixed. Thank you again for sending us such incredible fish, you can expect my business again.

for all the beautiful fish you have sold me, unlike the other fish I purchased from some so called reputable breeder...(I

please send me the following

one snow leopard 2.5"
send them next week monday tuesday or thursday
charge them to the same credit card of the last time
what i meant by that your discus are healthier than mine is that the 8 discus i bought from you

Bruce again. Sorry don't want to be a pest! It's about an hour since I sent the first email about the arrival of the
fish. There color is back on all three kinds, the Melons are red, DK spots and Phoenix just great. O ya the Gold Nuggets

I'll be ordering again

Tony,
The fish arrived today at about 11:30 am Chicago time. I took them
home and ran them thru the drip acclimation process. Their in the
isolation tank now and look great! The little Phoenixs are a stitch. Of
course most of their color is washed out now from the stress of shipping
and a new tank the melons are white with black fins. The shipping
packaging was excellent. I have never had anyone take such care packaging
mail order fish.
Thanks for the excellant service

Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 18:42:48
Tony - thank you so much for the good advice. I changed 1/3 of the water and then treated with the H-5 and raised the
temperature to 90. Within 24 hours the fish started swimming around the tank and looked for food. He is now eating ravinously
(had not eaten for 3 weeks or more). He is of course very thin but I think he'll make it and I am so pleased. My only concern
is he still has a lump inside his abdomin - I think it is stomach. This lump is much smaller than it was before treatment.
I treated with the H-5 for 6 days and changed 1/3 water after 3 days adding another teaspoon for the gallon of water removed
then changed 1/3 after another 3 days and did not add any more medicine. I have reduced the temperature to 82. I am no longer
seeing any of the white stuff but I siphoned alot of it out of the tank. Should I do a repeat on the H-5 or H-6? Thanks
again for the medicine and advice. Gloria

Hello Tony,
The fish are in the quarantine tank.
They are in very good health and my god they are
big !
They almost got back their colors after a few
hours!
yes, they are eating like "pigs".
One of the two did a "flash dance", it is very
early to tell that they may
breed, but it is a good sign.
Thanks a lot for your great service, I really
appreciate it.

Mr.Peng i just wanted to let you know how much i apreciate your knowledge and service. My wife and i were in your store
on Sunday. We drove down from Sacramento to your store. The medicine you sold us is already showing results. I just wanted
you to know how much we enjoyed visiting your store. Anytime we are in the Bay, im sure we will be stopping by. Especially
when we are in the market for new fish. Your fish are quite beautiful. I was even thinking about driveing down this Sunday.
Would it be too soon to get new fish. If it is how long should i wait.

Hi Tony,
Shipment got here about 9:30 or so, the fish have transitioned into their new homes with no problem, another great shipment,
my friend! The cardinals are a little smaller, but boy they were swimming like crazy, wanting to get out of the bag, perhaps
smaller ones ship better? Same with the cory cats, they were going crazy, scurrying around the bottom of the tanks. I was
amazed again at the beauty of the gold nugget, thanks for letting me have some!
Hoping to sell more discus so I can get new ones in again, perhaps later in the spring,I'll move the ones I have. People
keep telling me they are coming to get some, but then they "get too busy".
Thanks again; it's always a pleasure to deal with you because your stock is A+++, your shipments are well packaged, and
you are honest with your customers!

Just an update on discus. I have to tell you, I would never have believed it until you shipped all of my adult discus.
They did not go through any stress at all. For the size you sent--I thought that they would be at least a little stressed
out but not one has showed any signs of stress. I am more confident now and will be buying more as they become available.
The color on each are more intense than on your web-site. I hate to say it but they look better in my tanks :-). Just want
to thank you again. I am awaiting the day I can come visit your store!! N.H.

I just wanted to send an update on the discus. They are doing GREAT!!!! They are all in thier own separate tanks and chasing
each other. :-) They were all picking at the bottom looking for food shortly after acclimation!! As a rule I keep lights out
and do not feed for 12 hours---I fed them live black worms for the first feeding----they gobbled them down looking for more!!
I would just like to take this time out to thank you! I will be in touch and checking out your web page for new and exciting
discus---
Thanks Again----N.H.

DHL was here about 10:15 am and the four little guys were floating at 10:20 am, after a one hour acclimation they were
swimming free in my tank and I would have never thought but they were eating off of the bottom as soon as they hit the tank.
It was like they have lived in this tank since they were born. Thank you Tony so much for the fish that you have/produce there
if I ever get into that part of the country I will stop in. Now I am looking forward to buying more from you as you may remember
I have a 240 gallon tank just waiting on some larger discus and when they grow up in they go.

I look forward to receiving the pair of LSS. If the eggs hatch, I will let you keep the fish until the babies can be

Hi Tony! Sorry it took so long to get back. The fish got dropped at the door at 10:11 a.m. and the bags were floating
at 10:20! They looked perfect when they got here, like they were not stressed at all.
The bags were a little cool, but not too bad. They had not been in transit long and they looked so good that I took a
little more time acclimating them than the last time when the fish got waylayed in Chicago.
By 12:00 noon they were in the tank and swimming
around looking good! I know I should'nt feed right away, but I dropped in a few blackworms, not many, and they gobbled
them right up! Then they started sparring with each other. I can't keep enough food in the tank for them! Ha! The little pigs!
In 24 hours they already knew who their daddy was, they come right up when they see me. After I knew they were going to be
ok, I went down to my favorite fish store. This guy only sells fish, no other critters. He used to breed discus before he
opened the store about 7-8
years ago. When I told him about the babies I had just gotten and described how they acted after being tanked, he had
two things to say. First was, "They sound like healthy discus man!". The second was, "Does this guy do wholesale
to small fish stores like me?". He said he has been trying to find a good source for a while, that he can't get
anything but crap from his wholesaler. I told him I was'nt
sure if you got into that end of the business but that
I would ask. If you are not interested, do you know where else he might find a good wholesaler?
Thanks again Tony, I love the new fish!
