There are several of us around DFW but I do not know of any around Austin currently. There is a Hill Country Cichlid club. They are great people and might know of someone.

Other than the local LFS suppliers does anyone know of hobbyist breeders in the Austin-Round Rock, TX area. I'm looking to stock up a newly cycled 75 gallon tank with 6 or so small discus.

Thanks!

I live in Austin as well. I haven't seen any local breeders here. Best place to get discus here is river city aquatics. Personally, I think it's worth the drive to houston aquarium warehouse as their stock and prices are far better than anything here, actually the best quality fish I've ever seen. Their website shows pictures of the actual fish in the tank that they are in.

My name is Michael and I live in good ol' Lubbock Tx.. No one really near here, and only one LFS that has ever had a discus. (note how I said A Discus)
I recently went to Austin and stopped by River City, and I can honestly say.. those were the saddest discus I have ever seen. I don't know if I caught them on an off day/week/month, but ther was a black discus, and several emaciated ones that made me wanna cry. I would never buy discus from that place.. I order mine from Kenny and they are BEAUTIFUL.. so much so, that I want to spend all my student loan money on a bigger tank, just to get some more . Like I said.. I don't know if it was just a bad time, but I was not pleased with river city, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Also, if there is anyone near Lubbock, It would be great to hear from ya

I do miss Tech, but not so much Lubbock, although you probably have it easier now that the town is wet. LOL

If you ever get down to the metroplex let us know, there a few nice fishrooms and houses to look at.

Take care,

Dang I don't know how I missed this part of the forum. Anyway,

My name is Luke, live in Houston, and I am currently cycling a 65gal drilled and hooked up to a 20gal sump (just got my first nitrite reading last night, woo-hoo!). I'm planning on getting 6 adult discus from either Kenny or Hans, along with some sterbai corys and rummynose. After spending literally months reading up on this forum, as well as others, and planning the tank's every detail... I'm already starting to get impatient with a fishless tank (week 2 of cycling). The cycle is moving along, I'm just ready to get some fish!

Glad to meet every one!

Thanks for the offer Skip! I used SeaChem Stability to get things going, looks like it is working. Hopefully I'll be done in a couple weeks, fingers crossed

You know Dustin no longer works at HAW? It's run by a guy named John now, he's got some nice wilds in stock
