Here are some pictures of a breeding pair that im getting in about a month. Right now im getting a 29 together for them and once its setup ill go pick them up. Im paying $250 for them which seems like alot but is very good for a 5"-6" female and a 7" male (thats body lenght not including fins).

It sounds like alot but breeding pairs at this quality can get ALOT more expensive.

I don't doubt it, I had a friend who used to breed them.

You just gotta hope they don't die on you at that price!

I care for my Discus very well by doing a daily w/c of at least 25% but usually 50% so I know im not going to kill them.

NICE!



Getting a breeding pair of discus is never cheap. But if they are quality stock, have good genetics, and breed for you, it makes it all worth it in the end.


Good luck with them!

Really nice looking pair you have there.

On another note, according to my book, Scale Fish like Cichlids you include the fins.
