Give Darren Burgess a call. He's just down the road in Townsville.
He has some of his stunning personal collection for sale in the "members classifieds" section

I drive 2hrs to Sydney for my fish without hestitation.. The junk we have in the LFS near me are a crime against Discus keeping.

Having seen pics of Darren's fish I'd definately make a day trip out of it ;)

4 hrs each way on the crappy Bruce highway isn't worth it for any fish ;)

There is an aquarium in town that stocks some of the best quality discus I have seen and has them regularly breeding in his shop tanks.

As for the others, well............

If we are talking about the same place on Mulgrave Rd then I think they would be worth every penny.

No but I'd heard that a few of them had sold and I'm not suprised that you have eggs already. There is another pair in there today with a cone covered in eggs and another 2 tanks full of babies.

My favourite pair is still there though which is good. I don't think he'll ever sell them to be honest. :lol:

The Roses are nice and they are the ones with eggs at the moment but I love the other pair with the wild looking female. She is stunning and the male is the best dad I've seen as far as brood care goes.

Congrats on your pair. And I'll second the request for pics. :lol:
I think I even have some pics of them somewhere too. :oops:
