Re: Discus for sale - Brisbane
....as blonde as I am I have come to realise actually through the wisdom of Larry, that if you don't get a well bred discus you're going to have problems....It's not really much different to dogs in the sense that a backyard breeder will usually not discern that their pet is not necessarily going to produce as strong an offspring as say a selectively bred animal which has had the "defects" such as hip displasia bred out of them. You pay more for the animal from the breeder, but at least you're not spending all that extra money getting hips fixed, heart murmurs monitored etc etc. I think it was Larry who said he culls his lesser stock? Whoever said it, the truth is, this is a really good way of making sure people don't get stuck with a runty fish that gets sick at the first sign of stress & they need to spend a fortune on, in that light, who minds paying a bit extra? Not me!
