Unusual for Fed Ex but they left the fish delivery next to my garage!  I was watching the tracking records and saw "delivered".  My stomach dropped thinking they went to the wrong house.  I looked on the porch no box; went outdoors, walked around and there it was. >:(

I had just brought the box into the house and Miranda called.  She was notified that the box was left by my garage.  She was relieved that I caught that and they were safely in the house. 

Sooooo....here they are, safe and sound right out of the bag.

The PB Checkerboard that is actually red and white

Having a hard time getting a decent picture of the Blue Diamond who will lighten up when settled in.

Nice fish.  I remember the Checkerboard Pigeon.  Josie had some killer albino Platinum's (also called albino blue diamonds) in that tank, too.

Thanks Jon, Willie and Liz.

Liz I also have one of the albino blue diamonds. It came with the previous group of discus I got from Josie.  :)  BTW, it's shimmying and cone cleaning with two other tankmates.   :o

Barb, thanks.  What's scary is I found myself looking into tank bred wilds.  I like my wild type angels so much.....then yesterday I got involved in reading about wilds on Simply Discus.  Uh oh......
