What size group?
Hey all.
As the title says really, just after suggestions for groups of wilds. I hope to be getting blues. It's a 6'x2'x2.5' and including sump it's 900-950L capacity. It's got some pretty good filtration, the 4' sump and Fx5.
I would like to keep some money for some geos later on down the track so be easy haha.
Eric.

I'd suggest as many as you could afford Eric as they're schooling fish - and don't mix them with Geo's IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I love Geo's and almost went with them in my upcoming setup. It seems such a shame to detract from what sounds like an amazing display with another species - but that's just me
I personally can't wait to see the pics. Where are you sourcing the Wilds?

Hey Eric
Be patient mate, i lived in brisbane untill dec and when i was there it was very hard to find good stock around. dont rush in and certainly do some reading here about what good fish look like, i think you'll be very lucky if you find wilds for $100 unless they are like 4cm??
Check out this link if your thinking about an importer it helped me,

I'm trying to get fish from Rod at Fishmania, but it might be harder than I think, i'll wait for the right time of year, I believe will be summer?
I know of a shop that can import from south america, and I work at an LFS myself, so I can deal direct with Glasser too.
N.B. I wish not to disclose further information about my workplace, don't ask.

Huh? I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in australia trying to buy discus, Brisbane is the best, great local bred stock and the best importer in australia is here in Brisbane.
You wont get wilds for $100 ea sorry, It would be great if we could. $200- $300 ea is more the ballpark. Anything more than that and you are being ripped off and anything under that is generally not up to par as far as quality and health are concerned.
GL with he search.

Awesome thanks Rex, was hard trying to find prices at all, even approximations, so thanks for that. Even at that price I should be able to get a decent group, just means it'll take longer to save for haha, but patience is key .
