Hey, me too (edit not Durbs but South Africa), I recognise you from the other forums :) I think a couple of others from there are on here too, but maybe not very often. I know I check the local forums obsessively every day in case sponsors post amazing stock they've got in; here it just makes me really jealous :P

They got some really nice stuff here. Wish we could get some of these in SA. Have you seen things like black worms and kennys discus to name a few. Very nice.

Maybe you guys from South Africa can share with us your water quality, discus supplier, pictures of your tanks?

Hi it's my first time with discus so I am not as experienced as many of the guys here in SA. We have in my oppinion very good water and many of our discus guys from what I know think so. We also import and guys here breed as well. We got our own forum as well www.tropicalaquarium.co.za

Hope this helps.

Let's see. I live in Pretoria. In this part of the country we have hard water (up to 8 or more) but very good in other respects and we don't generally mess with it except for breeding. Other parts of the country have water that's very different; I'll let the others chip in. I got 4 of my guys from a local dealer who imported them from Danziger, and three from a local hobbyist breeder (those 3 are royal/semi-royal blues, their parents are F2). This same breeder is currently importing some beautiful captive-bred Xingu browns from Germany, and other suppliers sometimes get fish from Germany as well. I suppose most of the fish in the country come from Asia though. Maybe I'll post some pictures soon ;)
My major gripe is that we don't really get wilds much here. I'd kill for some Heckels!

I am about to bring in my own fish from various countries. All A grade. In the interim I get mine from an importer I've partnered with. I don't buy from fish shops
