Hi I'm Kenny. I have been raising and breeding discus for quite some time, been fascinated by this very special fish since I was young. I'm located in Daly City, CA.

I also sell discus out of my business - Kenny's Discus. Locals or visitors to SF/Bay area are welcome to view by appointment. I enjoy chatting with discus hobbyists and I hope to meet you in the near future.

Contact email: kennysdiscus@sbcglobal.net

Thanks,

Thank you so much for your advice. You saved my whole brood. I used metronidazole for antibacterial

I sought you out. What made you choose acriflavine?

Huntington Beach, CA here. Just getting back into discus after a twenty (!!) year hiatus. My old Wattley and Schmidt-Focke handbooks are sitting in the bookshelf beside me :) I just picked up eight 2" Red Turq/Spotted Leopards from Melissa (DiscusMama) for my 90 gallon planted tank. As soon as I have finished setting it up I will post pictures.

I have to say these forums have been a tremendous asset. I was able to jump back into the hobby much quicker than I anticipated. I was really worried about how I was going to get new discus (LFS was never an option, the ones around here have really sad looking Discus; prime candidates for the "what discus not to buy" thread) but the Hobbyist Breeders' Fry for Sale forum was just what I was looking for. I have been able to order some quality food from folks here as well as gain new friends! I am looking forward to the meeting next month as well. A big thanks to all.

Melissa

Hope you and the fishes are doing well my friend! I'm very glad you decided to get back into the hobby, its so much fun right??

I'm Melissa, San Diego Cali here! Been keeping discus off and on for several years and have done it all now LOL got breeding down pretty well I would say, so my next venture may be breeding wilds. I'm small time and can pretty much only raise one spawn at a time given the limited space in my apartment. But that's just fine, exactly what i can handle right now...

Yay for discus!!

Good to know. If we ever set up a discus meet up, more than likely it will be for a nice lunch and chat about the hobby. I wouldn't mind organizing it but I have never done something like that before, although I have gone to meets locally by way of Scapeclub.org.

Either way, if there is enough interest, and someone is willing to help me organize it, we can get it going.

Hi All,

My name is Rich, I'm from the SF Bay Area.
I've been a forum lurker for a while now.
I've had tanks for long time. In college I had 3 - 55g tanks: Angels, Discus and misc community. I 've had a long break, when we bought our house I pulled my old 55 FBH out of storage and set it up as a Discus/community tank. I'm currently in process of upgrading my FBH to a 75g FBH with an internal overflow nd a wet/dry sump.

Hey Rich!

Welcome and all the best with the upgrade. I'm a huge fan of sump filtration. You're in one of the best areas for Discus. Kenny Chung is in Daly City and has some excellent stock and very reasonable prices plus he's absolutely amazing to work with.

Thanks Chad,

Haven't had the pleasure to work with Ken as of yet. John's discus is local to me but he's taken some time away. My current Discus are from Hans. Soon as I have my new tank established I might add anther pair or so. I also have a 100g tank in the garage but in needs some work.

Perris is actually one area I have always wanted to go. It isn't that far from LA for a day trip, but just have never had a chance to go out there. If you haven't already, check out the SoCal group area located:

This thread is specifically for people to give their location for possible discus meet in the future :):

Hey Neil did ya get a chance to meet Kenny and get some fish?

I've had the pleasure of meeting him to get fish twice now. I could easily have him ship but it's well worth it to go in person.

I'm Bryan from the south bay area. I've been breeding discus every now and then. My main goal is to produce top quality discus, improve the line and create my own variations. My stocks are mostly striated such as Giant Flora, Heckel cross, Fineline Snake, straight line turk and album.

That was a great store. It was a long drive but I would go down there and spend all the money I had.

I do remember Capital Aquarium and I miss it so much!! It is actually where I first saw discus and fell in love. I was hooked! Really not many good (consistently) aquarium stores in Sacramento area now. I just tried Golden State in Rocklin a couple weeks ago, bought 3 nice 4.5" and 1- 5" discus. Also have a couple of the melon throwback from Kenny's last shipment on the way. Nice to meet you Cliff!

They said they couldn't make the business work anymore. I guess they had over 500 tanks at one time. The last time I was there was in the 80s.
