    Hello

    I am looking for some small discus to raise.

    I like white discus with red patterns, though I am open to anything.

    I am also looking for some adult congo tetras.

    If you guys have anything available for sale, please let me know!


    Contact me by pm.

    Thanks!

    Have you kept Discus before?
    Although they aren't as difficult as some people make out, they do require a bit more attention than "standard" tropicals, especially when young.

    The lfs often doesn't know too much about Discus, has poor quality fish that have often been mistreated and are stunted.
    You will only struggle with these.
    Rather spend a bit more on decent quality fish from a specialist importer or knowledgable breeder

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Not sure if you have any fish at this stage or kept fish before but.. as @Reedfish has said having a good knowledge of their needs and starting with good quality stock is imperative or you will be very heartbroken

    Tell us a bit more about your setups and some pictures would be nice

    Hello all

    A few months ago I bought 7 small discus from Sam's Aquarium. 2 of them have eyes that seem too big for their body, the rest seem fine.

    I will post some pics later.

    Thanks for the replies, I will contact the people you mentioned.

    That sounds like stunting.
    Did they come to you like that?
    Or did that develop in your aquarium over time?

    I bought them like that. It's not severe, you'll see on the pics tonight.

    I've created another thread about one of the two that may be stunted.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.
