This seller is in my area about 1 1/2 hrs away and they also sell on ebay. Nice web page and they have Wild Discus.
They told me I can go there and pick my fish.

Re: Rio Negro Discus

Ive seen them on Ebay Chuck.. A little pricey I think for what they are but It seems alot of the wilds..even common ones are going for alot now when you find them. Plus Im going off ebay and theres a cost built in there.. If I were that close I would go check it out... Id love to know more about the seller and stock.

The price on their online store is less than the ebay price. $169
Pickup I save on shipping.

Chuck, the heckels look good and I think those Nhamunda reds could be killer. The "Wild Heckel Cross Mari Mari" is not a heckel cross but perhaps a nice blue. Best to go in person and pick your own.

Chuck I looked at the website and the seller has alot of domestics for sale too. They maybe importing them.. if so be sure to look at the domestics carefully for health issues.

Re: Rio Negro Discus

I don't know if I should buy them this weekend, it does not give me enough time for a proper QT and observe after relocating to the 90 gallon. Unless I setup the 75 gallon again and leave them in that one till I come back from Wyoming. I was planning on a smaller tank and 4 fish for QT. I could hold off until I am back.

If you do they might not be available or the best will be gone.

If I go for a visit and they look good I will wind up bringing some home.

Chuck, if you like them perhaps you could pay for them and pick them up on your return?
Just a thought.

I will ask the if they would do that. How many can I QT in a 29 gallon tank for the 4 weeks and for the wilds any special QT parameters. Eventually they will go into my 90 gallon that has very low stock and no discus. I am thinking 3 posible 4.

Re: Rio Negro Discus

In your shoes Chuck I would do four, just stay on top of water quality. Age your water if possible and place a top on the tank. Follow Al's QT procedures. What's your water like?
