Need help: How to safely transport discus?
- Thread starter Bree7
- Start date
Oh I know, Kenny sells out fast. I've been in communication with him for the last few days and I think this is what I'm going to do.
If I don't order from Hans, I will get these:
(1) 3-3.5" Albino Pearl Diamond (striated type)
(2) 3.5" Checkerboard Pigeon
(1) 3.5" Blue Diamond (select-grade with red eyes)
(1) 4" Altum Flora
And possibly a 6th. Is 5 discus enough, or do I absolutely need 6 to keep aggression down?
I know that Kenny's fish will be bigger and therefore have a more developed color than Hans' because I would have to get a 2.5 size (from discus hans) to be able to afford it, but Hans is also like, the most famous quality discus breeder out there.
So I can't choose. Kenny or Hans?? Which group sounds better?
Help!

Those 5 discus will cost you more than $238 shipped. If you are willing to spend more, get the bigger discus.
They are $217 without shipping. Still waiting on a quote. So it will still be pretty close...
In the past, my airport to airport shipping charges for discus from Kenny has always been close to $80-$100.
Uh-oh... Well I haven't heard back from him with a quote yet but I had no idea that his shipping might be so pricey. I figured $60 tops.
Hmm.. I'll see what he says. I may have to go with Hans.
Really though, it will be a win-win situation either way. They are both amazing sources in my opinion.
His shipping is pricey cause airport to airport shipping is expensive (I would not receive shipped discus any other way). If you use Fedex, it may be cheaper but there is nothing like being able to get a call from Kenny to tell me that the discus is on it's way with an airbill number. I go to the airport 30 minutes after the flight arrives and get my discus.
