Any breeder can name his discus any name.

So don't be surprised if you a "Tropical banana" discus somewhere

Not sure who you plan on getting these "red tomato" discus from, but my advice to you is to stick to a sponsor. I have dealth with Kenny many times and not once was I ever dissapointed.

yeah, that changes everything, lol.

OP, good luck sourcing good quality discus. See if there are any local clubs by you, and see where they are getting their discus.

Personal queation off the topic...

I have a bullie discus beatting everybody up in my tank so i moved him to my qt and after 5 days i just put him back and he is causing havoc in my tank again making everybody know he is boss, he use to be the same size as everybody but he has grown to .5"-1" bigger than the rest and its a red turq but looks purple in some angles of lighting.

Any ideas?

He is making my new alpha hide in corners so mean is he.

Im adding 3 more red tomatos to this tank and they gonna be 1.5"-2" smaller than him and i dont want him to kill them... my friend has 4 6"discus... u think this 4" bugger will cope with them? He is ordering with me next week discus... for me 3 and for him 6 for his new tank... u think i must ask him for a swop of the new batch we getting in?

they don't kill..

if a fish is weak it dies.. don't worry it.. just let them be.. more fish is always better.. are you getting for same source?
