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.

I purchased two Striated Cobalt Discus and I absolutely love them as much as the other four purchased at the same time. These two are truly the King of my aquarium and they let everything else in it and me know it.

I purchased two German Red Turquoise Discus, Red Base, and I absolutely love my new Discus. They made it here in perfect shape and the acclimation process was very simple if you follow Michael’s instructions. I cannot believe the beautiful colors, size and activity they bring to my South American planted Tetra tank (Large and in charge). My Discus began swimming around the entire aquarium as soon as they were released into the aquarium as if they owned it.



Never known anyone like Michael who communicates with you when needed in a timely manner but he really does care about how the fish are doing and keeping you on track to raise them the right way.



Michael has been great with giving me any advice I needed. I highly recommend you do not skip the Discus.com Learning Center no matter what your knowledge level may be. It is loaded with information you want find anywhere else on Discus, their water parameter, feeding, etc.



I started with a 20 gallon aquarium more than 40 years ago and have owned at least one to three tanks ever since. I’ve been keeping aquariums from freshwater to reef tanks for over 40 years and still continue to learn from the best. I’ve had everything from breeding assortments of Mollies to extensive reef tanks. I did Discus when I was a Technical Sergeant in the US Air Force in the dorm at Osan AFB, South Korea more than 30 years ago and fell in love with them then. This is my first experience with them in the States and I can assure you Michael is one of the best teachers on the planet.

All fish are doing fine Packaging was great. I do a water change everyday now since they will be in here for a month or more. I bumped up the temp as instructed to go to 88. Almost there. Thanks for shipping the frozen worms out right away.

Currently here acclimating the fish! This is a 200 gallon tank I set-up and scaped for a client, it currently has ember tetras, cardinal tetras (my client asked for more, so i bought more from you!), emerald dwarf rasboras, oto cats, and kuhli loaches. This tank is in the break room of an office building, and the name of the company is “Blue Ram Group” so my client wanted a group of blue rams.

Hi Michael!




 


Thank you so much for reaching out. I am Ruxin who’s bought Metronidazole from your shop. I have a discussion has been fading away for 3 month. She is extremely skinny now. And we used all kinds of methods: Cipro, copper, Potassium permanganate but they all don't seem to work.  We have been dosing the metro starting this Monday. Really hope this work as this is her last chance….


 


We suspect that our tank has hecamita all the time. Because our discus just keep dying one by one. Here are some photos of how she progresses.




 


Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated!


 


Best,


Ruxin

DO NOT BUY UNTIL YOU READ THIS. I want to tell you about a BAD GUY named Michael. I ordered over $400 of fish. They arrived in poor shape and within 6 hours they were dying. I texted back and forth until he ends with contact me in the morning. In the morning all the fish were dead, not only all the fish he sent, me but his fish infected all my fish.  I didn’t know about his reputation until it was too late.  He has blocked me on text and he has blocked the review page on his website so I can’t put up a bad review.  I took pictures of the dead fish, and my bank immediately refunded ALL my money for his disgusting product. He is also a very nasty guy. He told me I was not intelligent and uneducated, in fact he said “Maybe you cooked the fish so you could eat them.” He ended with “I am the largest dealer in America and I would not be the largest if I gave my customers refunds." You have been warned.





From Michael: Ken, your review has indeed been published on Discus.com. Mr. Ken Taboh placed 2 separate orders with us: on April 24, 2024 and May 2, 2024. First order went great, and he ordered again on May 2. The second order contained 2 discus, a snowball pleco, 16 neons, and 3x clown loaches. 6 hours after arrival of the 2nd order, he texts me about white film on the body of the discus. This is pretty normal, as fish will incur ammonia burns as well as normal wear and tear during transit. I tell Ken to use Paraguard and the white spots should fully heal within a week. He agrees to keep me posted. The next morning, Ken texts me informing his entire tank has perished overnight -- including all of the tankmates and the discus he received from me in his first order. Immediately, he demands a full refund for both orders -- even for the previous order in his possession for over 2 weeks. Unfortunately for Ken, this isn't how we operate. We advise all customers to read our Return Policy prior to submitting their order.
