How is it that all my LFS carry Discus within these parameters?

Yes, same location. I was just there recently and noted that their large discus tank had fresh stock of 6-7" discus, they had pigeon bloods this time around. Have you bought discus from them before?

7". What are they charging. .

Those went for $220 I believe. It's the only place in this area that I've seen that sells discus that big.

Are you sure they are 6-7 inches? Sometimes you think you have a 6 inch fish and after measuring it,you find out its only 5 inches...

Yep.. what he said

I called them earlier and asked them if they had any of their large discus left. They said they had a Cobalt Blue Discus for $230, when I asked them if it was in the 6-7" range, they said it was more in the 7-8" range. They refer to the big discus as "show sized"

Dumb question: What is Piwowarski?

And Piwowarski discus are usually great-looking, well-shaped, and superior quality discus.

I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand discus care. You drop a group of discus in the proper sized cycled tank and you change the water. Sheesh, how hard is that? I've bought from lfs's, killed many discus, screwed up doing it "My Way" and I'm kinda glad the first batches died because that is when I researched and found Simply and then met Kenny. Do I need to say more? Years of being on this forum, I've seen many disappear but there are still a few experts left. John is one that I have seen do it right and do it consistent for a long time and I just have to get out there soon to visit and maybe pick up some hitch hikers for the 4 50g empty tanks I have. I started the same way all newbies do and there is not another source of information out there more valuable than what we have here for free regarding discus. NADA 2014 here I come! I'll be the first to say that I made all the wrong moves in the beginning but I have NO problem flushing a sick or low quality discus in order to preserve the rest and improve on what I see in my tanks every day.

Josie, beautiful fish! I have been watching your posts lately. Very nice! Great videos!
