    you are right next door to perhaps the best in the state... especially when it comes to Discus...

    Slippery Little Suckers
    632 Anzac Parade
    Kingsford NSW 2032

    Phone: (02) 9315 5288
    Fax: (02) 9315 5388

    Go down and say hi to George and the crew... also Kev (Kevkoi) usually sticks his head in although he is overseas at the moment...

    For me the best discus shop in sydney is

    trans aquarium in Canley Vale. Great discus at good prices and cheap accessories

    Monaco aquarium, also at canley Vale, has very cheap acccessories, but the discus are cheap and nasty in my opinion (and colour fed)

    New to the game is St George Pet mart and aquarium. They are getting some decent stock in of late.

    On the odd occassion, Marickville aquarium will give you are good deal on a larger discus.

    The competition is tough, and although most guys on this forum appear to be keen on SLS, (and particularly the pleasant and informative service provided by Kev), it certainly pays to shop around.

    Good one Scott.....
    Was away on hols. JUST touched down early this morning.

    Should be arranging a shipment of discus within the next 3 weeks from Penang. There were some nice discus I saw in Bangkok, mostly LARGE fish. The small fish I saw at some of the farms were all colourfed to the hill. Most large farms with export lisences to Australia in Thailand (Bangkok) seem to be middleman/wholesalers and not breeders themselves.

    I like buying direct from the breeder. Better quality and much better price.

    Up-coming shipment would be a very price competitive shipment with lots of very affordable fish. Quality as usual would be as per usual - top quality fish ONLY.
