Discus Buyers Beware!!!!
Hi guys, I think this is very basic but than again I hope it serves as a reminder. Before you purchase the discus, it is best that you go down to the seller house and see the seller feed the discus. Make sure all of them are chonging for the food, shows that they are healthy. And do take note the Discus are not skinny. Than bag the fishs.
Some travelling cost and time is worth getting you a bunch of healthy discus eh so dont be lazy!!! |

Sometimes it may due to change of environment, normally for young fish, they will move toward your hand when your hand placed near to the tank. Unless don't has the chance to see the fish swimming in the tank.

I've bought discus for a few times and each time they arrive at my place, they are usually hard to coax to eat. Each time i have to use blood worm to trigger their appetite, it may take up to a week for shy fish, sometimes just 2 days for the more outgoing individuals.

Even when we bag our healthy looking discus home, its highly recommended that we quarantine them in a different tank before eventually releasing them to the main comm.
If we skip this step we may pay a big price. |
