beautiful!!! how many r u getting ;) LOL

[Jennie]

Ha! Heck no..I don't rescue fish! In defense of this store I will say these arrived in this condition. the tank was very warm to touch also. I have to go back today so I will ask who supplier is.(out of curiosity)
the blue ones were actually black and didn't show up in photos well

[vera]

dont u have a tank to clean or fish to feed LOL i would only wonder why LFS accepted such fish at all , do u have lots of LFS in yr area ?

[Jennie]

no only 2 small private ones in town..and then theres petsmart and petco

[vera]

many ppl interested in Discus there ?over here in my city over 30 aquarium shops , but non has Discus :(

[Jennie]

they would be if the stores carried more often GOOD QUALITY fish. prblm is the stores will only deal with local breeders. cutting out shipping fees and such.

[Northwoods Discus]

Why the marine invertebrates behind the poor discus? Tell me it is not in a marine tank.

[Jennie]

LOL no it's tank decorations!

[vera]

must be a background paper

Don't you like a little amenome with your discus. :( Very sad little discus.

[vera]

Don't you like a little amenome with your discus.

i dont think it would b a perfect combo :)

Poor little thing. But it does remind me of a similar looking discus I found at WAL MART in the fish isle, about 15 yrs. ago. One lone little discus, all brown, for $7.50 I couldn't resist it. Took it home, put it right in with my others (didn't know better then) and amazingly it grew into a 4" brown with lots of turquoise. True story, but very rare I know.

One of the big reasons store fish look so bad is that most LFS don't keep the discus on a seperate water system,so if there is anything in the water it will get to the discus. ..there is only one store around here that has ok discus,that is because the owner is a discus guy...

I have some fish to sell, lol anyone want some exotics from the Carribean?

[Jennie]

NOPE! lol

[William Palumbo]

Typical petshop quality. Is too bad that a local breeder would dare to pass that off on the store. Says a lot about the breeder if it came in like that...Bill

[Jennie]

yeah i hear ya Bill. These could be out of Denver for all I know.. I have deal to supply one store with angels and discus, maybe I can deal with this one..(if I am successful at breeding discus of course) Angels are easy

[Jennie]

[Northwoods Discus]

[Jennie]

[vera]

http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?84841-38-days-no-water-food&p=717548&highlight=#post717548 I had too much free time today!! it's here too!

[Jennie]

hmmm better cover the tanks!
anyway the discus at my LFS are from someplace in Fla. But I didn't ask names and probably wouldn't have posted as it may have been considered slander. Anyway, They want my fish as well as long as they are quarter size or bigger and have some form of color or striations/spots! :) we'll see

[hedut]

OUCH that's why I prefer spend extra money in shipping :).

[Jennie]

Ditto.. these in pic were the better looking ones:shocked2: unbelievable

[Jhhnn]

The chain of custody for LFS discus is often poor. Breeder > exporter > importer > jobber > LFS > hobbyist. Discus are actually pretty tough, but that fact just means that young fish can be stunted or irretrievably damaged from poor care anywhere along the way. If they look bad, they are bad.

The only LFS discus I've seen here in Denver are ones I wouldn't touch with a pole. I'm glad I don't have to, either- I have access to the best through our sponsors.

[Jennie]

U and me both! Anyone that knows discus would just HAVE to know those are pathetic looking, you would think???
