No you are wrong, is not what you all think.
Is whether the importer is willing to buy good quality discus. Order can be big or small, is all up to the importer.
The problem is, this people only buy cheap fish, about US$2 to US$5 fish. For this low price is poor in quality. And what happen is they mark up the price so much that it sound like good quality fish. This people are money lover not fish lover, so they don't care about quality.
The big problem is the importer buy poor quality and small fish and want the fish to look nice, but this kind of fish will not show much colours and patterns, so what the seller do is using hormones to being up the colours and patterns. In this way when the fish is here they can sell the fish fast, that why the fish died so fast. They don't care. :evil:
