Danny,
Do you have any better pictures? They look really runted!! And should of been culled. Looks like a bunch of runts and culls to me.

:-X :-X :-X :-X

Miles,

Ok, so I'm a newbie. And, they look fine to me. But, since I was planning to drive 5 hours to see them in person tomorrow - can you tell me what you see wrong with these juvies?

The picture of the adult on his website is very beautiful.

And, sorry if I missed some sort of inside joke, but 12 discus is a serious investment for me, and I plan to grow them out to be as large as possible - I don't want to handicap myself from the start.

I have seen Danny discus and they were always A quality.

I would not call them culls by any means.

[Miles]

Well yes I will tell you their flaws.
1. Look at the eyes- big eyes small body= stunted
2. Shape, football season is over with= discus are round like a basketball.
3. Look at picture of fish on left eye, pupil is smaller than normal=cull fish. Check other fish for comparison.
4. If I had a better picture as requested I could tell for sure.
5. Danny how old are these 2" fish?

Have A Good Day

I don't see anything wrong with danny's fish..
No Arrow shapes...
No Large eyes...
all the fish in the picture have the same eye size...
Grant the picture is not the best but you can see that those fish are not runts...

Go for it Dred...

Ps: some of the pictures danny and Jeff has on there site are from Wayne' NG discus book and are just representation of how the fish should look like. You have to realize that the pictures shown are of GRAde AAAA show fish. Wayne gave his permission to use the photo' of his fish on there sites.

Miles, on the thread below you state the Jeff's VR are "quality":
http://forum.simplydiscus.com//index...=9384;start=15

Here, you say that Danny's fish are culls. Jeff's fish are larger & thus, more attractive when comparing the two pics.

Isn't it interesting that they are all from the same stock (Wayne Ng)?

[Miles]

Guys,

I'm not disputing they are from the same stock. The difference is night and day to me. The discus in front of the pic on the left side has a bad eye.

1. The pupil is not the correct size. This is a cull plain and simple.
2. The discus in the back in the middle is a football.
3. The discus to the right of that looks to have short gill plates. Short gills=cull. Its that simple.
4. Several other discus have large eyes=culls.

All I asked for was a better picture so WE could see for sure. Can that be furnished?

Culls are culls. I would not buy these discus. I'm sure there are people who like these fish and they can buy them.

Hi,

I recieved some super angel diamonds from Danny.

They are great quality and Danny has been very helpful along the way.

If you don't have anyhting nice to say, be quiet.

Danny, keep up the good work.

Dred, 12 Discus is a serious investment and it is better to make the drive so you can see first hand what the quality is and select the best ones.

Are you planning on 12 Violet Reflections or will you be selecting some of Waynes Super Blue Angels as well?

I agree the picture is not the greatest and probably doesn't do the actual Discus justice.

I wish I was fortunate to live within a 5 hour drive of an importer of Waynes Discus.

I sure Miles isn't implying that Danny receives culls from Wayne while Jeff receives the AAA stuff. I think Miles is just hinting that he would like to sign on as Danny's photography consultant.

Come on Miles, don't hold back now. Tell us what you really think.

Good Luck Dred and don't forget to get some of the Super Blue Angels

[dred]

Brew, it's like you read my mind - plan is 6 of each.

Miles, thanks for your criticisms - they are helpful, and I'll get an eagle eye when I visit. I'll be call'n Danny tomorrow to set up a meeting.

Everybody, thanks for confirming that the picture probably shows very young discus with good potential.

I'll keep you posted.
