What is the BIGGEST discus on record?

[diamond_discus]

The best I can do so far for my fishes is 7" .... Can't imagine having one to be 10". It will probably be too heavy for any fish net I have .. Wow ..

[Spardas]

No idea, we sold most of them after the show, think I brought to Atlanta 50 adults for in the show. 6 Went to a store, the rest we sold at the show, they went all over the place, some even to Bermuda. We sell our Show Discus after the show for $150.00 each.

Will you be bringing any Show Discus to the NADA?

Definitely some amazingly big fish here but where are you measuring to and from? I have always measured from the tip of the nose/mouth area to the caudal peduncle and not include the fins or tail otherwise an older male with a big dorsal extension could be measured a few inches longer.


For example I would have said these were between 6 and 7 inches.

Here you go Tito:

Even so I would love to have any one of them my tank.

When you catch a fish while fishing you measure from tail to mouth to determine if it meets the size requirements to keep for eating, so I would think this would be the same here.

My Red Turk bred by Rod is 8" and still growing and i have seen bigger at Rod's.

Would love to see them Hans. Do you currently have larger discus for sale? I may be in the market soon but I know for sure I am not up for growing out. I just want one display tank and adults is what I would be looking for. I wish I could go to TX to get some of your $150 after the show discus. I would buy 6 or 8 off the bat :-)

[Discus-Hans]

Rick,

$150.00 is not going to do it anymore, that was 4~5 years ago.

I still have a few very nice adults here, Thursday I get about a 120 more in.

I have a blue pigeon that is from Hans. It came to me at about seven already. I haven't measured him in a long time but he's the biggest discus I have. He may be on the verge of eight but catching him in a 125 gallon is difficult except at water change time. I will try next water change which is tomorrow. If I can get him on a towel and keep him still I will measure and photograph. Hans can verify how big he was when i got him and who would not believe Hans?! I also have a Jumbo Dark Angel that is almost as big as the BP. Also from Hans.[URL=http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/Rudustin/media/IMG_0962_zps3251b254.jpg.html][/URL[URL=http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/Rudustin/media/IMG_0972_zps6aeeb499.jpg.html
