Hmm I'm guessing they gave me a free one because I had been hands on and friendly and asked them for all the advice they were willing to give me. Maybe that showed some initiative that they liked? Or maybe they were running out of that size of red and white discus, and they had an odd number left, so they decided to just give the last one or so away to people. Hard to tell, but I appreciate it none the less.
Thanks guys, and I'm not a fan or marlboro reds or any red ones really. Not sure, just my taste I guess. I love all the turquiose types, I love the great lakes discus violet reflection and want a few of those soon, and I also really like the lemon yellow discus from discus madness and the san merah of discus madness.
edit: but I will love and adore my little red "freebie". Hey thats his name, Freebie!
