Here it is:
So perhaps it is still two different facilities, but they're certainly in partnership somehow.

years ago he was able to import from, I think, Santarem. Would be great if he could reestablish this relationship
Sorry to narco this thread, but it seems they are still actively selling Discus or am I mistaken?
Stendker Discus USA took over it's a spin off Super cichlids.

Maybe I am missing something here but if these aren't bred in Germany and raised there under stendkers care but are now going to bred here in the USA., at what point do these really qualify as Stendker discus.?
I've never really been a fan of stendkers to begin with. they did grow big and beefy but their shape often put me off as did the lack of strains. I know some llike them. I just prefer the asian lines and I am not trying to get flamed here.

The one thing that turns me off at purchasing Stendker discus is they are the most expensive out there when there are a lot of exporters out there who's fish are just as nice without the expensive price tag of Stendker.
They've basically doubled in price as well.
Actually, looking at the prices I should probably sell my Stendkers and buy a small house.

Lol yes your are worth a house! Ok maybe a double wide . Thing is Stendker is gone. The company now selling them bought the name and the left over fish and started a shop in the US. Good bad indifferent I’ve got no clue. They started by double dealing the guy selling them here already. The fact that that guy is now selling Asain and Stendker went out of business/closed down says something for the fish. Unless Jacob starts breeding I’d look elsewhere…… well Jacob??
I'm disturbingly good at going whole-hog and too deep, to be honest. I think if they ever tried to pair up, I'd be tempted to try to successfully spawn them... but just to say I'd done it. I don't want to be in some sort of abusive relationship with fish.
Plus I have been totally unsuccessful with apistos and they're supposed to be relatively easy. *shrug*
Something sleezy went on with whatever Stendker and Super Cichlids did to/behind Hans' back. I obviously don't know the backstory at all, but something isn't right there. Hans seems to have come through it well, I cannot imagine someone who hasn't bred discus before buying leftovers from a failed/failing breeding program is going to knock it out of the park. But what do I know?
Here is one of my two Marlboros the other one is in QT on a hexamita treatment (white poop) with metro. Finally got a shot with the ruler but he is in a bit of an angle so he is a little bigger than he looks. I picked these up a few years ago from a LFS that Hans sold to and I consulted with him before I got them.
