Duckess Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Cichlid Type: American Cichlids Price: Neg. Size: 10cm + Sex: Mixed. Suburb/Town: South-East Qld preferred Hi there, we used to breed discus (and sadly sold off some absolutely stunning fish) but haven't had any for a couple of years now. I'm setting up one display tank and am thinking about getting a pair of quality discus - would really love a male and female. My favourites are white butterflies, but am open to any colour, as long as they are a good shape and not stunted. Please let me know what you have, location and price. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk333 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Jump on FB and check out what Dt has for sale. https://www.facebook.com/groups/483338395134898/ The best LFS for Discus has to be Living Reef Aquarium. They are expensive, but they have the very best quality in S.E. QLD. Discus for Sale Oh, and also look out for forum member ssdiscus ( [MENTION=313]ssdiscus[/MENTION] ) he has some quality breeders producing some quality juveniles.

Thank you Trying to get quality discus at a decent price is becoming hard these days, generally the best ones are imported. Pet city has a great selection, but they are very expensive some are more than $400 each, but roughly good quality adult discus start around $200. I grabbed some quality discus from exotic fish connections in rocklea, they were all juveniles though. Great price too. SS discus is great to deal with and much more affordable. Gumtree is hilarious for discus, I found a handful of discus a bloke was selling all underfed, stunned and terrible quality mixed with africans asking $200 each.

ssdiscus Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I do have a dozen various adults here FS, but as you're at the Gold Coast, contact Darren at Robina, first and check out his stock. Great quality, great prices and a great bloke to deal with. Here on the forum as Thomo29 Cheers, Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckess Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I've just found living reef aquariums thank you. Amazing fish, will definitely go and have a look at those. SS is great but we're after bigger fish - been through all of the growing out in the past and would like to treat ourselves this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk333 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I bought some adult Discus from Living Reef Aquarium on the weekend. Wonderful people and awesome Discus in store. But much of their really good stock is kept in their off sight facility. [MENTION=7433]bazz[/MENTION] I generally find Pet City's discus stock very, very poor these days. It's not like the (recent) old days when Kelvin and Gary ran the fish section. You can find a video of some of the Discus I bought from Darren, and photo's of some of the Discus I bought from Living Reef Aquarium in this thread. http://www.qldaf.com/forums/discus-30/short-video-119322/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isee Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 WTF - had a look at the Gold Coast discus facebook page, just tried to join so I could ask a question to DT Fishkeeper on buying some discus and got BLOCKED 5 minutes later. Must be a GC thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckess Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks everyone for replying. We've had a look at living reef aquariums and their fish are stunning, however we didn't find a pair that were quite what we're looking for, so are still on the lookout for a special pair that we will fall in love with. Have PM'd SS and DT, would love to see what else is available. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk333 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Pairs for sale aren't easy to find. You're better off being on a few of the Australian discus FB pages to find pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
