I'd also call Carrol and see what she has.

Hi Jarrod,
Let us know how you make out with Univeral Discus...He has some nice pics of Wilds on his website...not sure what he has available though.

I've bought from Samson in the past and was pleased with the fish. I had to give them away when I left for Iraq. I had bought some of his Maui Yellows.

Samson moved out of San Francisco and now is in Antioch Ca. We visited him 2 BAD (Bay Area Discus) meetings ago/last summer and he has a hatchery in his converted garage....lots of nice fish IMO...
I would also contact Cliffsdiscus....Cliff offers some of the nicest home bred fish in the Bay Area and its worthwhile visiting him if all possible, Cliff also ships.

Yes, we visited him during a Bay Area Discus (BAD) meeting during the summer, nice guy and nice looking discus.

Hi Tad:
Who'd u get the Blue Covers from? How about some pics?
I bought fish from Samson years ago... a couple of times. He's a great guy and easy to work with. Just take a look at his site, tell him what you're looking for, be as specific as you can and see if he has it.

Jarrod!
Candy and I got our babies from Cliff in the City and he had soooo many so we hand picked them!....and also there is Kenny ( loverboy ) in Daly City, a hop and skip away! Tad is right, I do not believe Universial is in the city anymore~

Jarrod,
Universal Discus is still in business out in Antioch, CA as Tad mentioned in his post. I visited Samson at Universal over the Christmas holidays. He has a nice setup in his garage and has quite a few breeding pairs. Has a ton of Angel Blue Diamonds that he is very proud of. I also saw a huge (120+ gallon) tank with a bunch of wilds that he had just received recently; not sure where they are from.
Anyway, I haven't bought any fish from him yet but he seems to be doing well with a good clientele. He spent a lot of time with me explaining his passion for the hobby and some of his discus care techniques.

When and how often does the BAD group meet? I couldn't find any info on the net. Do you have any additional info? I would love to participate. Thanks.
