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. Our review portal is the most advanced of its kind, and we offer this feature not only because we are extremely confident in our products, but we also feel that it's important to provide customers with a real sense of what ownership is like. New reviews are published weekly. Hit CONTROL + R on your keyboard or the refresh button in your browser to reload this page. Join our newsletter and never miss a beat.

Our wonderful community and loyal customer base is what makes us as great as we are. Check back often for new fish and fun aquarium ideas. Leaving reviews is a fun way to earn coupons for future purchases as well as to share your experiences with the discus community. Enjoy this unboxing video customer Suzanne T. from Canton GA made of her experience. Her full tank photo and written review may be viewed here.

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.

Hi Michael - thank you for checking in, just got everyone added to their dedicated 90 gallon home. Thankful there were no fatalities. They are a little stressed out as is to be expected. 





I am going to let them settle in with the lights off (as was recommended) for the next two days - not planning on feeding today but maybe I will give them some freeze dried blackworms for discus flakes tomorrow. 





Will definitely send some nice tank photos after they color up!

It's hard to get them all together. The red ones are still a little stressed I think since they look so dark. The yellow one have calmed down I think since the fins aren't up as much as before.

These 3 are pretty much the same, just that one's just off a little. They're definitely not green or red base.

From Michael: You're misidentifying the fish. This one is a turquoise discus, and is different from the pigeon you've previously pointed out. The discus can be tricky to match correctly at the 2" you ordered.

Will she get more red in the future?

From Michael: You need to allow the fish to grow into its full colors, which will occur at around 5 inches. The current coloration looks decent to me.

Will it grow the rest of the pattern or is it going to stay like that? From Michael: You need to allow the fish to grow into its full patterning, which will occur at around 5 inches. The current pattern looks decent to me for a 2 inch fish. It will grow in.
