Actual Discus.com Customer Reviews, Ratings, & Tank Photos

"Fulfilling my customers' wildest discus dreams inflates my ego like a balloon." -- Michael Li, "King of the Aquarium" and Creator of Discus.com

Discus.com is the only e-commerce website on the internet that provides actual customer photo reviews for purchased fish.  Join our newsletter and never miss a beat.

In addition to providing our viewers with delightful aquarium design ideas, these photographs are intended to illustrate the variability and wide spectrum of a fish's appearance. Factors affecting appearance include temperature, stress level, diet, aquarium shadow level and substrate darkness (the less and lighter, the more colorful the fish will be), in-water vs out of water, as well as differences between baby discus and adult specimens. Also, as discus enthusiasts, most of our customers are NOT professional photographers. Please keep these points in mind when enjoying the gallery.

German Red Turquoise Discus, Blue Base photo review

Electric!
The photo speaks for itself. I ordered the 6.0-6.5 inch and received a monster that absolutely lights up the tank. Striking fish.

The fish arrived healthy, communication with Michael was easy, he made sure to check with me before sending and after it was received. The only reason not 5 stars is the pattern on the fish. Otherwise the overall quality of the fish and the service is 5 stars.

The fish all arrived safely and look great! 2 of the 3 discus have settled in completely and the last one is warming up. The one that has some minor tail fin damage has not eaten yet, but is starting to look more at home so I expect it will start eating in a day or two.

Thank you for the follow up Michael. The fish arrived healthy and at the moment everyone looks good. They have been grouped together taking refuge in a few areas of the tank. However they have ventured out to explore a bit.



I am happy with the fish you sent, the colors and patterns are to my liking. I appreciate you taking the time to make sure things are good and to make sure I like what was sent.



I will send you pics once they become comfortable in their new surroundings. I have them in a 150 gallon tank.



These are my first collection of Discuss.

I am very happy with my new fish! They have excellent service and very fast shipping. The customer service was top of the line. The packaging was very well done and both arrived happy and healthy. I will definitely be ordering from them again. I only took a up close of one out of two that I ordered. The other was being shy. Thanks again

I only took one photo last night. I have a 50 gallon tank. The golden throwback looks much better in person. My blue one seems to chase the golden around the tank because they are they same size.

The Cardinals are good, I only lost one more since this morning.



The discus are all hiding and clamped (not too unusual with a new environment). The one blue is really beat up from what I've observed. I have a planted tank so they're a little hard to see. They are both dark, and staying in the shadows against a log.



A couple of heckles have some bruises, but seem ok. The surviving red looks pretty good so far.



UPS did not treat them very well... Tomorrow will probably tell more.
