I just want to warn everybody the dangers from purchasing Discus from online shops which do not provide a contact phone number and address.

I always source my fish by travelling to an actual shop. I think some people sell Discus as a part-time venture, and they actually buy stock from shops and resell them on online shops.

As you may notice on some online shops, their stock photos never change, they don't have any address or contact number. This is especially dangerous for Discus beginners who come to this Forum.

You pay top dollars for these fish and in the case of emergency, you don't have a contact number. If these types of online shops are genuine and legal, they should list their contact number and address on their website.

I have lost a lot of money from people such as this, as I was unable to contact them.

Discus is a unique fish. If you proper fish with great health and shape, I would recommend to go to your closest Discus Aquarium shop to purchase.

NEVER TRUST THESE DODGY WEBSITES!
