Oriental Reds LFS

[DiscusKev]

Lol, Eddie just can't stop buying discus (even when he has a tankful of beauties already)

[Jennie]

well, considering he was just in Malaysia and bought none, I'm impressed with that in itself!

[Eddie]

LOL, I know I know, the LFSs can surprise you at times but trust me, the effort isn't always worth it. I took a chance on these 2 and we'll see. They've responded very well to thier current QT and are even eating flakes. I'll deworm them in a few days and give them something to spawn on. LOL

I'll keep them on my usual diet of seafood mix with the poor mans red enhancing Paprika (always works well), tetrabits and red enhancing flakes. Might throw some of Mal's FD worms in the tank every now and then.

i see how it is.. Do as Eddies Say.. Not as he Does )))))))))

Yeahhhhhh, don't think he's going to live this one down. Though, Have to say, pretty sweet and Japan might have a whole other quality more easily and readily available to the LFS. None of the ones in my lfs look anything like discus at all.

Yes, I'm sure its probably a lot different buying discus in a Japanese LFS as opposed to one in the states. Heck, Eddie has posted discus from a hardware store that look better than any I see at my LFS. Those new "Oriental Reds" look very nice by the way. They are in good hands. Best of luck breeding them!

[Eddie]

Yeah, took alot for me to go back and get them but that female had me at hello. LOL

[Jennie]

I suspect this is the norm for you! LOL, And I'm not talking fish

[Eddie]

Well, don't know about that but there is one that definitely had me at hello.

[Jennie]

lol! I know what you mean

[goodoo]

Eddie you officially hyjacked this thread. My first Discus I bought was from a LFS . He is still a better fish than some of the really expensive fish I have bought from simply. Not that those fish are not stunning. I have also learnt the hard way not to buy from a fish shop. pain pain pain never again I still worry about what those fish left behind.

You never know what turns up at the LFS. I bought some Wayne's 4Star Reds at a LFS a while back for only a buck each.

I like them, hope you get lots of fry from them Eddie.

NICE, that would be insane! Did you get 50 of them pups, I would have!

[Jennie]

Eddie I don't wonder if yours were turned in by someone who was moving or something...do you ever see them that big at the LFS
