Matt, give them a call maybe before you go in.
Otherwise you will have the pleasure in meeting ether, George, Kev or Michella...
when you thinking of going??? I am heading over there on Monday to pick up another Diski... although I am guessing you will be working or something like that.

Those snakeskins are truly amazing! I wish I had the opportunity to go somewhere like that, unfortunately where I live there aren't any.

Discus are hard to come by where I live too. The lady who gets them only order 2-3 times a year...
Totally sad.

Matt, there are 5 of us at SLS..... We're all pretty well clued in on fish keeping and each have their own expertise, but everyone knows discus quite well.
George would be the one to talk to about water management and discus health. He's been breeding discus out of his fish room even b4 he contemplated opening a shop. He's very passionate about fish..... He can sometimes ask some pretty hard questions, so make sure u do your revision about water chemistry.
I (Kev) get to go do the fun part of things..... Travel and select fish. Have seen so many show quality discus and spoken to so many discus breeders, I know a good fish from a less than perfect one. My expertise extends to "show" type fish - Discus, Bettas, Goldfish, Koi and fancy guppies. Can talk till cows come home about 'show standards' in these fish. Cichlids and rare cichlids are also another fish up my alley of expertise.
Michella (George's better half) manages the shop so she is almost always there. Hey this blonde knows her fish too man! Not just a pretty sight....
Uncle Pete.... This English man has had the opportunity of working with the best in his 25years in the industry! He's worked with the legend Smidt Focke in England for a number of years and was breeding discus in England even b4 they guys in Penang ever saw one! He's an absolute genius with a few bars of light and a CO2 bottle.... He does the most amazing plant tanks. He's master of the planted tank... Ever need to recreate an Amazon biotope, he'll give you a name list of plants that all come from that one place!... plus detail instructions on their requirements!!
He's also travelled thru Europe looking at fish and he's also had the priviledge of fish hunting in Japan.
Richard..... Youngest member of the team, but no less knowledgeble. If anyone can say he has kept an Asian arowana and spotted gar pike in Australia to a remarkable size, this young man can. He has a penchant for weird and unusual fish (Read that as "Expensive" or "Good taste". ).
So there, u have the whole team at SLS....
At SLS, we aren't afraid of having a good long chat with our customers. We like a good fishy chat.
cheers
