    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!

    Contact John at Snookin 21, a sponsor, for wilds but I do not know if he will/can ship you.
