    Welcome Mike,

    Check out the sponsor page here... Doesn't matter where you are, you can get discus sent to your front door!

    Now if you want the experience of going and hand picking then I can't help you. Most if not all breeders will send pics and video of fish for sale.

    Thanks for the welcome, and speedy reply Philly.

    For as long as I've kept fish, I've always wanted discus, and have always wondered about receiving mailed fish. Guess I'm going to find out what both are like haha.
    Thanks again.

    Have no fear. All of the sponsors here supply high quality fish and superb packing for shipping. Remember this is what they do so they have it down to a science no doubt. If you watch the forum you always see the new shipment previews wound the beginning of the month and a couple weeks later you will see all the posts of people thrilled with their new arrivals.

    Hi Mike, I have home grown scorpions, snakeskins, blue turqs and red turqs, two inches for $20 each. I'm just over the Ct. border in Monson, Ma.

    Hey Mike,
    Do yourself a favor & seriously consider having a look & getting your discus from Martha, who has bred discus for years and has a lot of experience producing healthy, quality fish in popular strains with good shape & coloration.
    You won't go wrong with her stock, as many satisfied SD members and Martha customers will tell you.

    And you won't get quality fish for less than Martha's price.

    Hello and thank you to all for all of your feedback. I may take you up on that when the time comes Martha!

    Still in the research stages - and so far have the wife on board (granted she is privy to about 30% of the efforts involved in keeping healthy discuss hehe). Hoping to keep it that way - I mean I'm not lying when I say she won't have to lift a finger 😂

    About to create a thread in the general forum - please feel free to follow it

    Great strains, great price, great breeder reputation. I would start a new tank with just these if I was local!

    Thanks so much Paul! Your support is, and always has been, much appreciated.

    Say Martha, do you ever have 4" or better sized discus if and when my time to get them comes? You obviously are well known for your quality, and I'd prefer the drive from CT to MA over mail delivery.

    I couldn't agree more. Martha knows discus and has great stock.
