Agree!

Re: What Strain

Got from Aqua Hut in Coram. Btw what makes it a red Turk and not a blue?

Re: What Strain

To me it’s just names. That’s a turq and a good looking one. How big is it? Haven’t been to aqua hut in years. They are more salt water right?

Re: What Strain

I normally don’t buy discus from a lfs but this guy looked good. He was actually getting ready to breed with a red panda discus that was in the same tank. His tube dropped. Pointy. So I guess a male. He’s about 5 inches. And yes they do have a large salt water section too.

Red Turquoise have blue striations on a red base while Blue turquiose have red striations on a blue base.

Re: What Strain

I miss Don and Aqua Hut. LFS stink here in NC, always could find something cool there. Not to mention nobody could beat his prices.

Re: What Strain

I was thinking of the wrong place. I haven’t been to aqua hut. I was thinking of the place on deer pk rd. Aqua huts further east. Will have to take a look. Is it better than country critters? Not much in Nassau anymore.

Re: What Strain

The place your talking about is probably Tropical Island Aquarium on deer park Ave. in deer park. They’re pretty good. Not that big of a store and a little expensive. Country Critters in patchogue is nice but also expensive. Aqua Hut is not that expensive and Don the owner is very nice.

Re: What Strain

Don is still running Aquahut. The store is a little unkempt and the floors usually wet but he gets a lot of 'oddball' [Mudskippers, rare knifefish] type fish and sometimes gets in many discus. Last time i was there he didn't have many discus.
