I'm still trying to work that one out myself Gary. I have seen a few nice ones around but I'm not sure if they have been bred in the area.

A1 down in Brownsville seem to bring in some good fish too.

Rodbog, why don't you rent a place with a solar heated swimming pool, toss a few logs and a dozen heckels in.

Hi Gary,
Try Stonedavid on this forum he is up in Carins.I have not caught up with him for a while but i know he breeds discus sometimes and did have some quality.

You canot go past Darren @ A1 aquarium here in Townsville he is who i turn to for anything special and i always get quality from him.

Here is a pic of what i just purchased from him just befor xmas if this is what you are looking for.

Hi Gary,
They are different kinds of discus,Super melons,Royal ruby reds,Albino's,Red pearls.
If you look up under classifieds in this forum you will see- shipment from Forrest by A1 Aquarium and it gives a price list and also some pics.

John ,,

Lovely fish mate,, A nice selection of reds, I hope they hold the colouring. the lepss have a lovely coverage of spotting too


Gary,,

Your in luck bud, you have some very good breeders up in your parts. From memory squid lives up north and he is into wilds.

As I tell others, check the photo section and PM members from your part of the world who post up quality pictures!

Good luck
