[ILLUSN]

thats not a bad price at all if they are healthy good quality fish, you can get cheaper(say $40-$60 per 10 cm fish) but you'll have to hunt.

hey Gypsy3 have a good look at them mate . it could be a good deal if they are all healthy . Good luck with it and put pics up as soon as posable hehe

[gypsy3]

yeah, they look healthy enough....the guys going to the mines for work, gotta get rid of them....there's a couple of hundred bucks worth of food thrown in as well..there's a couple there i don't really want, was just weighing it all up...by the way...is a gold top a strain of discus?...never heard of it, but then again i don't know much 8-)

[mistakes r crucial]

There are far more names for Discus than there are strains, just the way it is with these particular fish. I've only ever heard of two Gold Tops, one was a very creamy bottle of milk 40 years ago and the others a mushroom.
