New life, Subscape, oakleigh, Keysborough, Mentone, sunnyside Aquariums.
Keysborough has just got some beautiful tiger discus in last week. Nearly bought one myself. Was $225 I think.
Mentone discus are pricey. Subscape is pricey too but good quality.

I know of an importer who has gets great stock in Melbourne too.
There's a guy on here with a 9ft who buys from him. Nice fish. He gives good deals if you buy a few in one hit.
I'll try find the guy with the 9ft.

That importer you know Mavzta does he or will he worm/parasite quarantine discus for you?
If so I will be buying from him

Not sure mate. I've never asked. Mind you I haven't bought off him either yet.
Let me know if you want his details.
He sells on gumtree too.

great yeah please pm me his details I will chat to him.
thanks very much.
He sells from Melbourne?

I saw a gumtree add on discus for sale in perth guy says he treats worms/flukes etc... but that guy told me he doesn't ship to Melbourne sadly.

new life aquarium in abbotford is your go to place for discus in Melbourne. They get frequent imports of amazing discus, lots of variations and sizes and best prices! if you are after a particular type they maybe able to add it to their next shipment. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Yes, I've called them a few times. Spoke to Tracy. They really know their stuff regarding discus. Amongst other things.
I bought my Maxpec Razor light from them. They gave me a good deal. And I buy my Kusuri from them too.
Good to talk to and get advice from.
Their discus look awesome too. Top quality. From what I've seen from their website and facebook.

Hi all,

Been a while and been through some tribulations with the tank and got busy with life and really didn’t do the fish justice and let the tank get badly overgrown and unloved.

Been spending the last couple of weekends fixing it all up agin, from heating, think i cost myself a lot of excess power this winter, to plants etc. cant quite get the tank crystal clear at present even though i have tons, literally of filter media.

Ph 6.5 - 6.7
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Ammonia 0
According to API test kits

Ammonia 0.012 according to Seneye device

Couple of photos below, hopefully going to add some new fish in about two to three weeks and should have all of the various equipment running again properly. UV globe was gone for example, new one this week i am hoping.

Any hints on how to get super clear water happy to receive as frankly I’m stumped, with the filtration i have it should be crystal clear but i just cant get there at present.
