I hope that you win the auction and that the two new fish will live long lives!

Carole, I am sending healing energy your way. I will light a candle for your new fish and for you as well.
Is it tomorrow that you have a new fish coming? I will be waiting for pics. Positive energy coming your way.:heart:

I've got a couple pics and a new video. They look really good Marie. I spoke with Steve from Raingarden, and voiced my concerns, and told him how discouraged I was getting. He offered to send me back my money for the purchase of the new Oranda that I bought at 1/2 price, and send me a free fish with free shipping. I told him that was not necessary, that I was ok with our transaction. I also said if he wanted to throw a free one in to keep mine company for the trip, I was ok with that. he said that is what he would do. They arrive next friday. I also spoke with Ken from dandy Orandas last night, about the little cute ranchu I bid on. He said his program for the auction has a glitch, since he took it over from Rick. And that the fish I was bidding on shows not available, as if someone bought it at the buy it now price. But it does not tell him who did. He didn't want me to be disappointed if it's no longer available. But he will have new fish up next week. I also bid on an odd egg shaped fish with a long tail.Will post pics and video in a few, if they came out ok. It's a jungle now!!!:)

Here is a video, it's not great but you can see them, and the plants I have added.

Thank you all so much. So far, the plants are~
needle leaf java fern
Cryptocoryne retrospiralis
Saggitarius subulata
And some kind of echinodorus, he did not specify, only that it was rare.
I just received a narrow leaf java fern today, and I am looking for either a sword, or a crinum natans, and that will be it.
Any type of tough plant should be ok, and I have read they won't eat red tiger lily. Most cryptocorynes, and aponogetons.
