SHEDD AQUARIUM recently purchased a special wild community of blue discus. We were able to get in on the deal through the supplier. These should be spectacular fish. They were located by a collector and made available as a colony to public aquariums.

Good morning. We're doing an unboxing this morning.
We've got some really exciting fish,
and I'm not in an exciting condition. I'm half-sick. But I want
to do this because there's some really spectacular fish here.
There was an order of wild-caught discus,
blue discus,
that were caught in Peru for the Shed Aquarium.
They ordered 50 of them.
I got in on the deal and was able to get a few.
So, I've got four of them. They've just come in this morning.
We're going to take a look at them and then we'll put them in discus.
