GB does NOT import all fish

atleast the:
-coloured zebras (pink, yellow, green)
-koi angels
-goldfish (all and every kind)
-discus
-guppies (grass, solids etc etc)
-oscars (albino and tiger)
-hilaries/mollies/platies
-koi
-golden severums
-fighters (all varieties)

are definitely locally bred and supplied to the guy, just to clarify for those shopping under the impression they're taking home "fareign ting"


no hate, just clarity...he told me he imports everything as well...even though i have siblings to most of the koi angels that passed through that store and HAD a parent to the discus he has/had in stock...


the cichlids are nice, i know wazir in aranjuez breeds them and has some awesome specimens, so not sure if those in the store were locally acquired as well.




Fishy Biznis imports alot of fish...they're usually great quality, but do yourself a favour and take the contact numbers so you can know AS SOON as they have new specimens and get the best of the lot...

[foss]

ppl's i have a 48" x 18" that i resurrecting... thinking either to go with goldfish alone, or pacu.

or to make a community tank... what ur'll recommend for this? what type of fish get along well with each other (don't fight, etc)

welcomed to suggestions

[Halfbreed07]

pacu will soon out grow the 4', try an amazonian or black water type setups, if u into realistic eco types.

[foss]

well i only know bout ting like oscar, and goldfish, hillary, pacu, angel fish, etc.. tetra's etc...

i thinking if to do a community tank, or just get a couple of one type and put them in

[Halfbreed07]

well do some research on some tropical aquarium forums, www.ratemyfishtank.com
you will see there are alot of options that go against the common everyday set ups, i.e. loaches, rainbow fish. a natural looking eco type is always best.

[UML]

btw saltwater men....can u get seahorses? and jellysifes?

Nope I'm rebuilding breeding stock right now. The three I have @ present got "plague" ( )....but they are recovering now.

With respect to discus, can you post a list of local breeders/sellers and what strains they have?

I am thinking of getting back into the hobby after being out of it for over 10 years. I just started up one of my old tanks with a few orandas just to get re-acquainted, but interested in setting up a few discus tanks with as wide a variety of strains as I can get.

From back in the day, the only folks I remember with discus were

Wazir in Aranguez
Ian in Lange Park (is he still in this?)
Roshan (i think) in Palmiste
Chai


Anyone ever bring in Discus from any of the breeders in the US or SE Asia?

[Halfbreed07]

Good discus, like the in books are close to impossible to find, although most local suppliers will swear the have real nice fish, but an informed buyer will most disappointed.
The high mortality of discus, coupled with the high price and hastle to import will make it an unlikely option.
Sunil's pet store in endevour has some of the best tourquise I seen loocally, see my pic above.
The fish Dr. from rousillac, although a smart man has the most impressive stock in terms of numbers.
He opens only on a saturday, and has mostly pigeon blood and malboro. He seldom has class fish.
Wazir has class fish now, dey are too big for my needs right now, and so is the price.
Shiva tries his best but as lucky as he is with his breeding methods his stock is not in the class of the parents.
There are a few private breeders I know of, one in cascade, one in santa cruz and one in cocorite, but they are difficult to deal with
and harder to convice them to let you come by them to view ther stock.
My advice is do what I do, hope for the best and expect the worst, when ever u come across a good fish, as rear as it is, buy it one time.
Be patient, plan your tank, be prepared to spen some money in the initial set up, get quality equipment, especilly the heater.
Also do some research on the net, and remember these are delicate fish.
But once u go discus, everything else is just a fish

How do you define a class fish?

[Halfbreed07]

Much like dogs, the pure breed fish will have certain common traits that define a really good breed, what is called a strain.
Cross breeding will only create 'pothound' fish. But local suppliers, because of lack of good stock will tell you that its a snake skin o leopard skin, etc.
If you look at enough photos of the different strains you will know a class fish from a mixbreed.
