I have been spreading the word that i was wanting a few more H TAT's for my tank after i made a mistake and only picked up one last January instead of all 3 that they had at the lfs. So this morning i got word that a local shop had a few and that they wanted 39 bucks apiece for them. So after getting off of work at 2am saturday morning i stayed up and went to the lfs first thing saturday morning. And sure enough they had these 2 reds at about 7-8''. I asked the guy if I could get a break on buying them both. And sure enough he said i can do 30 apeice. I almost ripped the pocket off my pants trying to hand him the money. lol-- So here they are in all there glory in the quarantine tank.

They are a little beat up but i am sure they will come around. I drip acclimated them for an hour and then released them in the Q tank and added some salt. I then waited 6-8 hours before i turned on the lights and fed them a few feeder minnows. I came back to the tank a few hours later and all 4 feeders are gone. So everything is looking great.:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2

Just perhaps you knew.. Well when you move them back into their tank, take more pictures.
 
Sure will, they have another red to school with as soon as they get out of jail. lol------I always quarintine new fish for a week or 2 so as soon as i get them in the main tank i will post more pics.
