Sadly, someone will probably buy it, but yet we often have quality discus in the for sale section of SD that don't get sold very quickly.

Hope not. 2 year old 4" discus is going to grow to at least 6 or 7? Actually, this discus looks a lot better than one discus on sale on the local craigslist listed for $220.

I would take a certain degree of pleasure giving this con man some free dental work with a crowbar! :D

$150+shipping+Medication+Water+Time = Worthless

You must be insane if you buy this fish.

It's sad but that's typical. I believe this seller was a member here before (recognize the user name).

Mary mother of mercy. If anyone is so stupid as to buy that fish he deserves it.

Not me.

If he sells it, more power to him. He posted a pic of the fish. Anyone stupid enough to want to keep Discus without doing any research, looking at pictres, and getting a feeling for what's good and what's bad deserves what he gets.

I'm a hard *** when it comes to quality. I would put a gun to my head before I offered such a fish for sale. I also know that there are people who think that they buy fish and a while later the fish dies. This terrible fish has been through some rough times. It is hardy. It just might be able to survive in some idiot's tank

This part really cracks me up

"It is absolutely beautiful! I have had this discus for 2 years now. He is at least 4". When I bought it, it was 2". Everyone that comes in, loves him. I have him in a 300 gallon tank which I need to use for other fish. He was shipped in from Germany. Stendker Discus are known for their quality and colors. This guy is not full grown. He will get 6-7". He is in excellent health"

He has had it for 2 yrs and claims it will still reach the 6"-7" range
