    Hello all, I stoped at Bill's house this weekend and picked up nine of his gorgeous Discus. This is the best way to buy Discus in my opinion, the parents of the babies are there for your viewing and you can grow them yourself under optimum conditions. It's more work than buying larger fish but you know what your getting. I enjoyed talking to Bill and could have stayed there all day I was having such a good time, he will answer any and all questions you can think of. Like I said Bill you can always learn new things when you step into someones fish room. So if you are in the market for some new Discus and l live in the Chicago area I highly recommend a trip to Bill's house.

    Very nice fish, particularly the wild blue pair... I've always been a chump for wild blues...

    How long does it take to drive from Chicago to Denver, anyway?

    Yeah someone from our part of woods should be heading there soon. I am going to a cubs game on a charter bus in September. I don't think my wife would like that very much.

    Yeah Bill, thats what I'm talking about! Wicked shots. They would be all bought up.

    Take care,

    Thanks Cliff. I wish there was a Chicago Discus club around. I would think that in the city here and in the suburbs, there would be a lot of fellow Discus nuts. Maybe one day...Bill

    Awsome fish Bill!

    You should really get yourself a c02 bottle and crash course on shipping! Those fish would be worth the effort bud!

    Can you say nice Brilliants?? Really like the shape on those Billy, and they are well feed for sure. Nice work there my friend.

    Thanks Kenny and Ed. It is a lot of work, but a labor of love...tho most times it feels just like plain work! Anyone who questions the high price for Discus has never bred them, and raised their fry. More labor and food goes into them, so much, that it's hard to break even most times. But it's what I enjoy and am passionate about, and is still fun above all else...Bill
