Hi there, Going crazy tonight with the photos... I do every couple of months or so...
:lol: :lol: :lol:

anyway, today I took a drive down to Finland and met Rav. I intended to get some neon rainbows but changed my mind when I saw the Giant Danios that he had (I have only ever seen pics of them) anyway I ended up going home with 10 long finned danios, 7 giant Danios and a long finned leopard danio (a ring in amongst the zebras)

Rav was kind enough (and probably happy enough lol) to let me catch them myself as I am picky and wanted the really long finned ones... 8-) :lol:

so here are some shots... hard to get them as they move so fast but anyway, Im sure you will forgive a reflection here and there...

LR, Its just a pity my house isnt big enough to have bigger ones, then I would have more discus! lol
Also the fact that we rent means we have to keep them at a moveable size until the time when we can have our own home and then it can be just one big fish tank. LOL
