I have heard of some discus only reaching the size of a 50c coin.. I am wondering if there are such critters avalible? I'd love one or two if they are around.

If you look for ones called babies, or ask for runts, I'm sure you'll find what yu are after.

Be careful tho, of the ones called babies, they do, or can, grow to the bigger size.

so it is possible to find tiny discus that stay that way? runts? I bet they would cost and arm and a leg thou .. anyone seen any up for sale recently?

No, no runts are usually cheaper, because they're runts.

how would I go about finding a runt?

Find a discus breeder, ask him if you can give him a few bucks for his rejects instead of culling them.

Any "serious" breeder of "any" fish would dispose of their runts.. for this exact reason... Preventing More Runts and stopping even more rubbish fish entering the system.

Bill.

No such thing and yes the runts are not sold they are disposed off.
