Discus in Chicago

[emilio50]

Hi,

I am a hobbyist living in Schaumburg, IL. I am thinking of placing an order with Pompadua House in Thailand.

Has anybody here had any experience with them?

Also, if anyone else is interested in ordering, then please let me know and we can make a large order and split the costs. I expect shipping and permits to be about $4 per fish.

I can be reached at: emilio255@yahoo.com

Unless you're intent on importing yourself, I'd recommend contacting Jack in Chicago. He's got gorgeos adults (from the pics I've seen). Here's his profile to send IM (he frequents this board): http://forum.simplydiscus.com//index.php?board=13;action=viewprofile;user=aquafis hworld

From reading other folk's experiences, importing discus was a pain-in-the-butt & wasn't worth the hassle for the regular hobbyist. I considered the idea myself before seeing those other posts. Good luck either way.

Ditto on Jacks Discus. High Quality imports from China at reasonable prices. Best part is your close enough to select your own.

Do you really want to import Thai Discus not knowing what quality or diseases to expect?
