Dixon1990 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is anyone going to bring in some real discus or just the steroid hybrid discus. Some Natural brown discus would be nice. +1 I would love to see some wild Discus here, They would make me setup another tank forsure. (I would be even happier if someone were to bring in some Pterophyllum Leopoldi ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 wild discus some in seasons, so when the season re-opens then mayby we will see some. However they are very expensive to export $150 USD then you have q and retail? so mayby $600-700 a pop? not something that will move to fast. Not only that VERY delicate!!! I would be to scared to own one! Do you import your discus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 let's not forget how awesome the quality of these fish are compared to what used to be available in new zealand. hollywood had some wild discus in there for a while from memory they were about $270-$340 ea... you got some right reef?

Dave+Amy Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I heard wild Discus are meant to be tougher than line bred relatives? because they are not as inbred? I'd love some heckles worth spending $$ on setting up just a tank for them..they retail around $500 AUS each (authentic wild Discus - not Discus from wild caught parents) But downside is that you'd hope they're well wormed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flosty Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Vincent, thanks for sharing, must have been an eye opener for sure. Did you get any pics of the adults or juvenile discus? Thats alot of tanks , do they pay for water usage in malaysia? I remember reading somewhere that Tony Tan does 2 100% water changes per day does Martin do something similar? because thats alot of water to go through kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
