    I AM A NEWBIE

    Hello All,
    I am a newbie to this hobby and I have 5 Discus in a three foot tank.
    I have three blue turquoise and two pigeon bloods that I have had for six months now but I would like to expand more into the hobby a bit more.
    Does anyone know if all Discus varieties can be imported into Australia or are available.
    Thanks
    David

    Hi David . Welcome to DF.com .

    3ft tank for 5 discus will soon be too small. Might better looking for bigger tank now :P

    When you say "I would like to expand more into the hobby a bit more " does it mean you want to keep more discus ? or you want to try breed them ?

    I think most discus strain can be imported into Australia. One of the best importer known in this forum is "Slippery Little Sucker" in Sydney. But they can shipped interstate.

    You can also order discus from them. What strain are you after now ??

    Enjoy

    Welcome to the forum David. Lovely to have another member from Melbourne. There are a few of us discus 'nuts' about.

    Most of the varieties of discus can be obtained in Australia. It's just a matter of price.....

    Check our classified forum for information on what is currently available.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
