Thanks! I wish I had more time to take better pix
. I spent a lot of time trying to get the azuls as they were flaring at each other. The barring is AMAZING when they do this. My friend needed his camera back so I was very limited on time. The kelberi are amazing in person and a steal at the price Jeff was selling them at.

My auntie owns a grocery chain in Honolulu and is always asking me to visit. Maybe if I have some extra kelberi and decide to visit I'll bring you a present.
I forgot to mention the ordeal my juvie orinos went through.
Last week I was supposed to split an order with a buddy so the whole week I was set on getting 5 orinos. We decided it'd be better for my buddy to buy from someone local to them so I was now getting 10 orinos. Not a biggie as I knew a few locals that wanted some of these orinos once they were of size. They arrive from Jeff later that week and I go through my routine of checking for DOA's. The water was bluer than usual so the fish were harder to see. Anyways, I dump them into a bucket with an airstone and start a fast drip. Half an hour later I come down and do a quick swoop with my fish net.
"Nice, I caught all five fish in one swoop" I thought. So I plop the fish into the tank and watch them grinning. I walk over to the tub (yes I use a tub to do water changes as the faucet is faster) with the bucket of dark blue water and start pouring water down the drain.
"WTH, was that!? OH CRAP, I BOUGHT 10 FISH!!!!!!!!!!!"
I jump into the tub and round up the two guys that got dumped and threw them in my tank. I netted out the rest of the fish in the bucket....8....9....10! PHEW!
That is all.
