I just recently found out a contact of a top guy who breeds discus in New Zealand.

Compared to the LFS and other breeders he has the best of the best. The quality, shape and colours of his fish were just awsome! So now ive resorted to purchasing from him and him only, unless i see something i cant resist ;)

Im pretty delighted that ive actually found some good quality discus, as there are hardly any in NZ at all.

His name is Ronnie, known as ronman on these forums.

I picked up 3 adults from him, 2 red melons and a blue scorpion snake skin.

Here is a pic of the male melon 6"+, 1 day after acclimatising.

Will post some more pics asap, didnt have anytime to this morning.

Thanks again Ronnie
Jeff

They do look quite stunning! Plump and adorable too. Have fun with them. I'm partial to that cobalt looking blue snakeskin. ;) *Ang*

Mark its a Canon 300D digital slr, just did some quick shooting took a total of maybe 8 shots, and one of them came out awsome.

Go Canon !!
