Would you buy some incredibly beautiful 3 inch Discus if you knew that they were hormoned to enhance their color development prematurely?
Do fish treated with hormones develop normally and reproduce as consistantly as fish raised naturally.
I have been told by a few professional disuskeepers/sellers that many of the great breeders from Singapore and other parts of Asia send hormone treated fish to the USA but not into Asia and Europe. I find this hard to believe. Am I naive.
When a Discus keeper shows a hormoned fish at a show, can the judges detect the fact that it was hormoned?
