    Default Altums from CT. Discus/Wilddiscus.com

    Exciting day here in California as we recieved a shipment of Wild Altums from The Brewmaster "AL". The package was sent late last night from CT. and arrived by FEDEX at our home in Central California at 10am (otherwise right on time) ...The packaging was excellent and fully intact and I can appreciate the detail to packaging that Al provided along with the care of handling by the shipper ;D

    The package arrives to our fishroom/office "Not a drop of water was lost during transit"

    the individuals were in groups of 5 and 6 fish and each group was actually in another bag..so in all essence I would call this 4 bagging ;D

    I am very impressed with this grouping of Wild Altums, They definately have met all the expectations and more that I had. They arrived with no fin damage due to shipping and are as elegant as any fish that I have ever owned (pictures were taken 10 minutes out of the bag) Obviously Al has a mathmatical counting problem too ;D. Im looking forward to this new challenge as these are my first collection of wild angels.

    I appreciate Als attention to detail and the many IMs and emails setting up this purchase.

    Many thanks
    Tad and Judi

    LOL Henry,

    It was my good looks and charm! The box was actually delivered right side up, unlike the last batch of fish we received, with the box clearly marked. ???

    As Tad already said... THANK YOU, AL!!!

    Thanks for the photo update ! I am always on pin and needles when I ship fish! They are going to thrive in your care I am sure. I have a new found admiration for angelfish after having these here. They are beautiful specimens!

    Good luck with your new collection!
