Also a good way to spot poor breeding choices is the appearance of black spots, like black pepper, on the head of the fish. No raise spots, just colouration.
Another trait of poor fishes are large eyes, elongated shaped bodies, missing pectoral fins, overly shy fish.

Halfbreed,

I agree with that assessment. Going back 10+ years or so, the guy from Lange Park had some really nice stock and had really healthy, well-cared for and well formed discus. Most of the stuff I have seen in passing in the few pet shops are not impressive in the least..but I haven't been much in pet shops..only now starting to check out the few that I come across.

Besides, If i do decide to invest in discus, I will almost never buy from a per shop. I prefer to buy from a breeder directly. I would prefer to buy an entire batch of free-swimming fry and grow them out myself and cull from there rather than buy a few fish about 2-3" which may have been malnourished in the grow out process and have their growth stunted to some degree.

With respect to equipment..I still have my tanks. air and water pumps and heaters from way back when and can rebuild the canister filters I initially built for my discus tanks back then.

Just need to find some good stock to start with. I was checking online in the US at some breeder sites and realised that there are some really great varieties that have been developed over the last 10 years. I wonder if any of the local importers would assist (for a small fee ) in the logistics in bringing in some stock from one or more of these breeders.

[Halfbreed07]

Shiva has offered to help me bring in stock. He strikes me as an honest person, I have dealt with him for years.
Ask him, the lange park ppl still in the game, does anyone know?

[1NZ-FE Powered]

I could check since i work in Chaguanas. I think I remember which house it is.

[Halfbreed07]

Much of my hope lies with raj, hopefully something good will come out of my trip next week.
If u interested in calicos goldfish, wazir has an impressive lot

[1NZ-FE Powered]

Never really liked goldfish. I only got the 3 orandas because they were $6 each. I used to keep & breed angels, oscars and bettas and started on discus but then moved out of my parent's house and didn't have space in my apt to move the dozens of containers I had with fish. I ended up giving all the fish I had.

[djblademan]

To all discus men, yes Lange park reeder Ian is still in business, i do suggest you check him around feb tho for stock, bpught from him last month & i got like the lowest graded two cause most had already shipped out *yep thas right) he ships/exports all his discus & dont sell locally at all to any petshops(politics nah)
He sells locally to indiviuals like me & you but not pet shops & the two i bought were still okish as to compared to the shitty ones i see time around...
Wazir does have some nice ones, not too bad, lil pricey but thas expected! he does have good stock from time to time as well.....
If anyone has a breeding pair of discus or angels to sell please contact or inform me, i will be interested as i would like to start ack my hand at these.....btw

Halfbreed07,if you come accross anyone who sells & breeds & have numbers or anything such to ah breeding pair, let me know I wanna start breeding, I go supply you self if they come tru nice, you have contact numbers to the cascade, santacruz cocorite men?

[Halfbreed07]

un-expensive is certainly not chai.
pet shop boys in sando has the best prices on tanks, imo
