Unfortunatly I do not have these nice fish. I had about 6 for a time and
they just begant to act strange and became bloated and died (TB maybe?). I
do know someone on this list (I will not say names, he knows who he is ;-)
and if he has had any luck with them I am sure he will share) who got 6
from the same batch. I am not sure if the breeder still has his breeders
as he was moving out of rainbows and going into importing discus. I still
see two run down ones in the pet shop that I am sure came from his stock
because I don't know anyone else on the island that is raising them....
