    Thanks
    Dalat does not have an online store. I communicated with him yesterday on the DFW Fishbox forum. He is getting the Piwos in on the 15th. Only leopards and cobalts in the large-jumbo sizes. Priced $185-$350.
    And he didn't say anything about being sold out yet.

    And FWI, Dalat and Discus Chill are the only U.S. distributors listed currently on Alex's website.

    Plwowarski is that much better than a Stendker, wattley, Chen, or what Forrest has to offer to want to seek them out at a greater cost and time spent finding them?

    In my humble opinion they are. They are rounder than Stendkers and more bulky than Asian's.

    Liz, do you have any? It seems that if one could source a pair that they would make the best breeding stock then.

    At one point I was looking for RSG's. I would have loved to have big fat round German ones, but by then they had had some kind of fish room disaster and all the RSG's had been lost. They had another lesser disaster after that, if I remember correctly then started once again. By that time I had already found some show quality Asian imports that I got for way less than they were worth in an auction here on Simply. All my current breeding stock comes from those auction fish.

    Those auction fish were from Ricky Lim brought in by Ryan. And I know how picky Ryan is LOL.

    Those look like nice beefy fish. I have a very untrained eye for great discus, but I can see they are thick and nice round foreheads.

    Just a funny observation...

    That dude looks like Garth Algar from Wayne's World.

    My love affair for piwow fish started in 2012 at the NADA 2012 show in Atlanta. Kraig K. imported a couple piwow turks which were known for being huge, round with beautiful straight lines. This was one of those fish. This photo is Matt's photo from this thread http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...2012-log/page3, post 34.

    Sometime later I heard he lost the line due to a hatchery accident. Later Kraig was able to bring some of Alex's RT into the US and I got a group. Here's my timeline thread. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...uoise-Timeline. These to me did not seem like the same fish from the 2012 show and I lost interest and sold them. Then ended my love affair for piwow fish.

    I loved that fish. I remember the first time I saw a picture. If I recall, Kraig had a tough time getting it to breed but was able to get one or two small successful hatches.
