Bur rather than do that, why don't you consider another supplier. dabradford mentioned someone in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Don't know who he is, or whether he's a breeder or an importer, but his fish do look quite good in the pics above.
There is an excellent importer/supplier of high quality discus not far from you in Galena, Ohio (near Columbus). It's Mike Beals of Central Ohio discus. He's about a 3 hour drive from you, which is quite doable for transport by car, or he will airship to Ann Arbor. Look up his web site to view his stock galleries & other info. He's a sponsor on simplydiscus.com and a very well-known, reputable provider of top quality fish. You won't go wrong with him.
