Hiya! I hope all is well with you and your discus! My apologies for the late reply. Your pictures are looking great. That is a splendid piece of bog wood you have there. I have on occasion bought stock from the far east. The fish were great although it was expensive, coming from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. They are priced in US $ which is such a shame. 1 US$ : 7.80 ZAR, so by our standards its over the top priced. Fish from breeders like Jack Wattley for example is really out of our reaches. A lot of US based breeders and farms seem not too keen on delivery outside the US/Canada region. But they're expensive like I was saying. I have found a breeder in a place called Potchefstroom who has a lovely place for breeding discus. He also does other fish like angels, neon and others. And there's a Taiwanese dude who's discus tank is featured on my discus page. He also has a fish farm and is bringing in fish from the far east. So some positive developments taking place. Also the guy I buy my fish from is expanding in a big way. He's been putting up tanks like crazy, he also promised me some good discus soon. This is the same guy who got the Israeli stock. They were exquisitely coloured, up to R1250 for fully grown, well rounded and champion stock. But that is out of my budget. I settled for the not so great discus at R300 a pop, which in my opinion is still pretty good. The one thing that local pet stores do is sometimes overcharge on fish cos they know we got only few places to go to. Take care dude and
