You've got mail. :)

BEAUTIFUL!! so many fish... so little space...:( Man I should have bought a bigger house! I'm a bit envious right now.

So far as the skinny goes. Do you know if it's ever been De-wormed? WC fish almost universally have some worms. The only question is if they will become a problem. I use SeaChem's Metronidazol mixed in with frozen mysis (Blood worms would work). Just thaw 2 "standard" cubes (not in water, met has a VERY low solubility) and mix in one of the provided scoops worth of powder. If you can't find SeaChem's any powder form will do and eye ball 1/32nd of a teaspoon, that's a 1/4 of a 1/8th measureing spoon. Give them this for 3 treatments alternating every other day then again in one month too ensure any eggs that might have hatched are taken care of.

D**n IT! Now I'm thinking of WC discus again... Look what you did to me ;). I hope you're proud. (off to the hardware store to price out arborite for a DIY tank... )

when i first got into wilds a year or so ago i had asked my manager if they were...he had said they had to be to be shipped through the company we get them from...
i dont know though and i dont have access to find out for sure if he is tellin the truth or not...

and lol...wilds are my favorite...i would take them over tank bred any day.

ill have to tell my dad about it. i dont have the funds to get anythin right now..i have been living off pasta the past few weeks...cant even afford cheap gross dinners or ramen.

Either way, if you can manage it wouldn't be a bad idea and won't hurt the fish any. :)

Same here for the wilds. That's the big problem... They cost so much compaired to CB's!

I've been there... don't worry though, it'll get better one day :). You gotta do what ya gotta do. If your looking for a "pen pal" or even just wanna vent you got my e-mail. :)
