The guy who bought $600. worth of HB's

[LizStreithorst]

He emailed me today and then we spoke on the phone.  The poor SOB.  He'd been all around the country buying Angels and as some point bought some that carried a dread disease.  Of all the fish he bought from me he had one survivor.  It wiped about almost all of his Angels.   He has Discus as well, and none of the Discus were affected at all.  Isn't that strange?

He thought that I wouldn't sell to him because he killed all my fish, silly man....I told him when he was here what I went through when I had the Discus plague.  He had all my sympathy.  I have about 40 juvie expressing HB's as well as my old timers.  He wants to visit in 12 days and buy some.  I guess I need to separate my keepers which will be the best from the spawn that turned before they were dime size.  He will buy up everything if I let him

He never sent a fish off to the U of Fl to be diagnosed but he thinks that it was a bacterial thing.

Well that stinks...but obviously when he was buying them all and bringing them home...he was tossing them together without quarantining them....sad...I wonder if he's some kind of broker??....where does he live?....far??

He lives in Colorado but travels everywhere for work.  He wants to put his eyes on the fish he buys before he buys them.  He doesn't use a broker.  He uses word of mouth for suggestions as to whom to buy from.  I think that it was Willie who suggested he get with me for half blacks. 

He said that he would look for striped blues for me and DD blacks for George.  He knows fish.  I think he said that although he has taken some breaks he has been doing fish for 45 years.
