Good Quality Discus wanted

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for about 8-10 good quality discus from a breeder. Don’t think I’ll be buying from the LFS's I have seen some Discus, the fish quality isn’t great. If anyone have contact details I would highly appreciate it.

Thanks

Jagga

Hi
Sorry yes I have none atm.
I am doing a small import in coming months, but I have already sent the order off to the breeder for selection.
Will be confusing to make changes to it now

@Reedfish
On the 1 Tan-shipment Pet Stop took a whole mixed box of Discus.
They sold out very quickly and it was a great success for them
It is not easy for shops to warrant spending huge amts on Discus, and then they stuck in the shop for a long period woth negative consequences.

The next (which is hopefully my last) shipment is from a breeder who specialise in high quality medium size fish (4.5" )
So prices are a bit on the steep side.
Its probably not possible for shops to buy in and then stock and resell at a profit.
It would also.mean they are at a disadvantage cause people would be able to purchase direct from me at the same price the shop sells.
And if I were to change that model the cost would go up to notmal shop-profit levels and then the fish would simply not sell
Its not easy for most to justify spending R1500 on a Discus
Spending double that is probably not going to happen at all

So Im quite content with the way it has gone. This coming shipmemt is small in volume but hopefully very very high in quality.
Its probably the only realistic way forward for certain fish species in the hobby.

@Marco

So the next shipment of Discus coming in has already been finalized and everything?Myself and a friend here in Cape Town was preparing for when this shipment orders will take place here on the forum, or was this handled privately? I have not seen the price list and strains on here just as yet?

 

There are some guys selling their discus on whatsapp group. One guy is in CPT perhaps Marco can put u in touch. Best of luck

Holy hell they are expensive!!!!!!! Hahaha

 

@Ladysphinx haha now you know why I go into a flat spin panic sometimes when I have wrong info.

 

Absolutely, my hubby would have a heart attack if I bought any fish that expensive, maybe someday I can actually afford them

 

These are actually very good prices. They are top notch fish and of good size as well. It is going to be a game changer in the hobby locally if the guys can breed them successfully.

 

@Marco what is the age of these fish? Out of interest sake I want to compare them size wise to mine to se how far I am lagging behind.
