    +1... very nice guy and always a pleasure to deal with... I have never once had a bad buy or bad experience with him... Anyway, I may have to pay him a visit to get some of those tank mates that he's now selling a long with his discus.

    Please help me understand something. You bought discus from Jeff without really looking at what you're buying and then instead of contacting him about the issue you just come straight to this forum to bad mouth him? I noticed a few people asked you if you contacted exotic and you never replied back, did you ever contacted Jeff regarding the issue? I’m sorry, the whole thing seem fishy to me. I was there at exotic few weeks ago and all I can say is he's a really nice guy and have really nice discus. I picked up four and they are doing great!

    To clarify, I never once badmouthed anyone...I just stated that i purchased fish from him and they we're in poor shape(not all but some). When we we're there he had 2 phone calls from customers, he told them just wait outside i should be done in about 5 mins(it was super cold and snowing at the time), which made us feel rushed. The Virgin red that is pictured above was something I called ahead on, there we're no lights on that specific tank when we arrived so I didn't see what I was getting. I never onced stated that Jeff was a bad guy, in fact, I said he was very nice. As far as quality goes, from the fish I've recieved from Chicago Discus, Kenny, or Mike Beals for that matter are of FAR superior quality than anything i've purchased from Exotic. And to answer your question, No I did not contact him and tell him I was dissatisfied, I just opted no to return.

    On a side note, I picked up a 5 inch Leopard off of Jeff yesterday. I'm very satisfied with it.

    +1.... Exotic is definitely worth a visit. We’ve never had any issues with Jeff and he’s a good guy to deal with. My friend bought some discus from Kenny's and I don't see any difference in quality between my discus and his. He now buys from exotic to save money on shipping.

    I recently visited Jeff's exotic discus. To be fair, his fish is probably not the most unique strains. he keeps his tanks in the basement of his house. it is eye-opening! all the tanks are neatly stacked and water is crystal clear. he built his own automatic WC system, so as to keep up the water quality for his fish. most of the fish i saw are very healthy. they swim up to the surface of the tank begging for food. thus, if you are looking for a supplier that has great quality stock and decent/most common strains, jeff is your choice. Jeff himself is such a nice guy. one of the pigeon blood I purchased from him was not doing well in my planted tank. I "harassed" him numerous times asking why the PB isn't eating. after a few attempts to help the PB settle down failed, he offered to swap the PB for a new one. I took him up on his offer, and he even upgraded the BP to a checkboard with no additional charge. I will definitely go back to him for more discus in the future. you are not just buying fish. you are also investing in a meaningful mentoring relationship.
