This is an awesome video, I wish my camera took pictures this good!

I would start by saying "Thank You" to Chicago Discus for everything that they have done for me. Josie has been an inspiration to me from the beginning on different aspects of the design, media, discus selection, and even going so far as to deliver the fish, in person, to my home. For those who have been following my 280 build in the Planted Tank section, you know this has been a labor of love for over a year to get it all right.

The fish were outstanding, hand selected by Josie, and had excellent color and shape all of them.

I can't thank Chicago Discus enough, and would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks!

There were a couple of thoughts that I failed to mention earlier that came to mind as the Discus were eating black worms out of my hand tonight, is the tremendous bond that Josie and crew have with their fish. Their interaction is so evident, these fish are like little puppy dogs that follow you around, and are completely engaged by you being around them. It was with great trepidation that the first one ate from my hand, but after that it was a blood bath!

Nice tank and even nicer discus. I am glad that you choose more naturally looking type hybrids vs more flashing colours.

What strain are the blue discus in the tank? Simply gorgeous. The thickness of their forehead is just out of this world :)

Giant Flora turquoise.

Fantastic :) Thank you very much. Having Josie hand-deliver the fish straight to your home must be like Santa came to town :)

So nice to meet her in person, and get her professional opinion on some improvements that I could make on the tank, especially in terms of the water flow, which I was subsequently able to correct. The breeding pair that she included, started breeding almost right away, and have had at least three runs already.

Frank,

Just absolutely spectacular!!!!!!

The way your fish settled in so quickly is just amazing.

I really like your selection of fish. The way they swim together is so beautiful.

Thank you, Paul. All credit to Josie, she provided a valuable service to me, and felt fortunate that she was able to help me. Two different pairs are breeding in the tank now!

86368 86369 the fish are getting so big! Just a couple of fish that cooperated with a side photo, typically, when you approach the tank they are nose to nose with you because they are so social (they beg!). You cannot go wrong with Chicago Discus. 86370

For those of you who have been envying the Giant Flora Turqs and Cobalts that Josie used to stock Frank's aquarium, we want you to know that we have them back in stock. They are jumbo size and potential show quality Giant Floras, simply stunning! Check them out on our website https://chicagodiscus.com/product/5-5-6-0-giant-flora-red-turquoise/ and https://chicagodiscus.com/product/6-0-giant-flora-cobalt/

7 inches is a pretty good estimate, especially for the red turq's mine are now huge. You are getting what you pay for if purchase from Chicago Discus.
