    I've visited his site before but never made a purchase. I don't think that he is a member of Simply.

    Try Windy City Discus...that's where I get all of mine from. Chris is great to work with and has a nice selection to choose from.

    No, sorry. I checked the link and the only thing I noticed was the note that said `No visitors allowed.' I didn't need to look further.

    when we visited Bill from IED he has a rule that he has to abide by which is that no one is allowed at the house. it's a condition that he takes very seriously and i can understand why seeing as so many people visit his place. Maybe this person is also along the same lines? it's kind of very straight forward to wave someone off just because their disclaimer says "no visitors allowed". from the looks of it this person has some very good looking stock.

    I'm with you there Rick, Alex is a very nice guy and works very hard on his Discus, I've NEVER seen somebody working so hard on them and grow them like CRAZY. Beside his hobby, he has a job and a LIVE,

    If I'm in a position to go to someone's house to pick out my own fish and I am not welcome, I'll go elsewhere.

    Agreed Martha There is a guy who is 20 Mins away from and wont let me come by. What is he hiding? So i use Bill at IED 2500 miles away instead and he said i can come by when i am down that way next month. I think its all about if you want to make a sale and customer service.

    Nice looking fish. I personally buy fish from places where I can't visit. Oh wait, that's everyone since I live in Iowa. He did have a innovative use for plexo caves.

    No, I am sure you can see the fish, just not unexpectedly, like appointments only.
