Alberta Discus Breeder

[RyanGSP]

I am looking for a discus breeder in Alberta. Anyone know somone that breeds in Alberta?

[Tony_S]

Other than small time basement breeders...I think your probably SOL....Unless things have changed in the last year(which I doubt)
There used to be Don Gross in Red Deer, he used to have some really nice stuff...pretty sure he doesnt do discus anymore though...

Wish I could help you more...

there arent any. arent any in bc either really...jason is a breeder from superior discus..in vancouver..he relocated. but..hes not breeding right now..hes busy getting his fish store going.
to get good quality discus....your best bet is to get them shipped. talk to frank of gold mountain discus. he has nice ones..and he ships to canada. or..check out barb newell in sponsor section. she has some.
guess i should breed some. : )

Well if there are any basement breeders looking at this CONTACT me please!!! ryan_doolittle@hotmail.com or call me at 403 223-9314

I have tried to contact discus dave about some of his stdenker(sp?)/hans discus maybe some asian discus but no reply yet. I havent looked at Barbs stuff yet but I heard that she has some nice White Butterflys and Checkerboards.

Last note I would be willing to buy adults or sub adults. I know there are people out there that buy 6 or 8 to get 1 pair. I would take the remaining fish.

dont forget Bob Garside of Upper Canada Discus. he has shipped to Alberta and there is no cross-border issues to deal with. he has Wayne Ng discus too if you are looking for quality.

Does Bob post on this site?

[Timbo]

yes, he is an official sponser too

check out baso's recent post for pics of ng discus ( http://forum.simplydiscus.com//showthread.php?t=52450 ) for examples

Wow those maze discus are sweet. Perhaps some maze, spotted eruption, and blue knights are in order.

Can aynone give me an idea on his prices and how he ships?

[Timbo]

good choices, all. i have a few of bobs maze's myself as well as seven of the GCSE's. (grand champion spotted eruptions pair babies) bought them in around christmas or so and they have not been sick a day or been exposed to any meds. good fish

[Timbo]

call bob (his number is on his website that i gave you) or pm him here on simply.

Yeah, I'd have to say check out Bob as well, I got 6 mazes last month and they are amazing.

Cool could you post some pics. How big were they and how much did you pay (if you dont mind me asking).

These are the mazes when they were still in Bob's tank, I picked 6 from this group. The best thing you could do is to email Bob, find out what he has in stock and then ask for his pricelist. He's a super nice guy, just give him a email and he will help you out.
