    Default The true 8" monster!

    Here you go everyone. I couldn't hold a wheel barrel up next to him while taking the picture for a reference but this guy is as tall as a breeding cone. MONSTER!!! $1000 dollars they want for this guy.














    Enjoy!

    Beutiful fish !! and is HUGE !! What some people don't understand is that its the individual fish, not the whole strain that grows huge.. Those are probably his siblings in the tank with him... Thanks for sharing !! David T

    Your welcome David, he is big. All the others are going for $150.00 a piece. There is another quite large one in the tank that I wouldn't mind having but it's too large for my boys right now.

    I wouldn't even know what to do with a Discus that big. Biggest I have seen in person.

    Cool Re: The true 8" monster!

    Bright red eyes, nice shape and pattern, and sitting on $1,000 at your local hardware store...Priceless!

    NICE!!!! I dont care for the spotted fish, but this one is truly one of a kind! It is Ginormous! Ask them if they would bargain with you, and get him for $500. Tell them that otherwise, the fish will only sit there taking up space. I noticed on the third or fourth picture, the fish behind the giant is actually kind of stunted, with huge eyes. Goes to show there is such a variation in discus too.

    LMAO Renee

    I would bet that one is a male. That fish is so big it may not even breed. Not a bad fish selection for a hardware store either. Now Im wondering what the quaility of the LFS is much less a true breeder.

    For sure Mike, 3 or 4 are LARGE eyed. They only want 150 for those, no way. LOL
