went into my lfs today to buy some new filter media for my cannisters and his tanks were full of quality discus 8-) pretty similar fish types as the extreme order actually ? ended up spending way too much on plants and fish and forgot to get the filter media :roll:
this is the discus i got, will put up a picture without the flash tomorrow as it's washed the colour out a bit.
was labeled as an oriental dream...

[fish_r]

thx scott, took me ages to pick the one i wanted, they had heaps to choose from...
i paint shopped the photo a bit and this is more like it's real colours :)

Absolutely stunning fish_r! I've been drooling at fish here for a while now, but I think I've just seen my favourite & might have to change my wishlist.

Beautiful find, well done!

wow rob stunning where did this one come from and how big is it :wink:

[fredg18]

Hey Rob,
That is a real nice looking fish, what lfs did you buy it from and do they have many discus.
Regards
Mark

[fish_r]

thx guys :)
it came from clear water aquariums "Adelaide"
the size is about 12-13cm i think
i recon they would have about 60 discus in there @ the moment and a lot of quality fish and varieties

hope i'm aloud to mention non sponsers here ? if not edit my post or let me know please

Thats an amazing fish :D I am soooo jealous!

[tlambert]

the other day when i bought my two red turks he told me he had about 100 discus incoming and thats why he was selling the red turks so cheap :wink:

[fish_r]

thx bun :)
maybe he still had 80 odd left then, just didnt want to over estimate :wink:
the fish came to the front this morning but it's very nervous @ the moment
here's a cpl more pics...

Magnificent fish. Well done. You made an excellent choice. :P

[fish_r]

thx merrilyn :)
only wish i had more money so i could buy more, hmmm what can i sell ??? :)

[tlambert]

you could always start by selling me that flash computer of yours :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[fish_r]

just about due for an upgrade too :)
seriously though, be looking for @ least $2000 for just the case only "no monitor" would throw in the keyboard and mouse though, as it's painted in the same colour sceme :)
"just the graphics card was about $800" memory sticks were around $800 too... not too mention all the other suff in there...
so if ur interested let me know :wink:

[tlambert]

one problem with selling it to me you would then have to build yourself a new computer spend another 5 grand + so you would then be back where you started with no money !!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[fish_r]

yes dont think i'll be doing it any time soon :roll: :roll: :roll:

Those last 2 photos are fantastic. They really show the colour well. Beautiful patterns too. Great choice! Impulse purchases like that are not something to be regretted

[fish_r]

Thx Robdog :) has turned into my new favorite :)
although the purchase hurt my hip pocket :(

[Mattzilla]

[chris]

Wow awesome Quaility fish mate, I must go and have a look at Clearwaters, is that the LFS on Main nort road ,Clearview :?: Chris.

[tlambert]

[fish_r]

thx guys, sorry i forgot to check this post.
well worth having a look Chris, he has/had some great quality fish in there when i was there the other day, and lots of big fish for sale too.
it's a great shop with friendly/honest service and his tanks are nice and clean.
as tlambert mentioned it's the small shop next to hardly normals "Enfield"
