can anyone suggest where to order from? Discus Hans I hear only does wholesale & requires minimum orders of at least 60. I presume they will be pricey considering the quality one will get - but when you add the shipping is so expensive per fish!

Hans will most likely fill your order if you know what you want. He is a nice guy and has fantastic discus. I don't recommend going anywhere but directly through Hans if you want Stendkers. You may say it's pricey but it really isn't that bad when you break it down. The most you would want would be either 8 2.5" discus to grow out or 5-6 4-5+" fish. I strongly recommend getting the largest fish that you can afford because they can be a pain in the a$$ to grow out. Juvies need regular water changes of no less than 50% every other day at a minimum and all the food you will run through trying to grow out the juvies to nice adults really isn't worh it. I'm doing that same thing right now. I dont' regret my purchase, but they are a lot of time to take care of and I wish I had purchase 4-5 larger discus to start with to add to my community tank. That way I'd know what they look like as adults. Juvies can sometimes look nice and then develop bad shapes or poor coloring, and I'm after the best colors and shapes in my tanks.
www.centralohiodiscus.com he is an AMAZING guy very helpful reasonable prices and amazing fish...here is what i got from him....6 ring lepoards

I ordered 15 juvies so I have my work cut out for me. will take a picture of each while in the bags so I can reasonably guess who they are when they are released & hope when they get bigger I can still tell which is which! So I will feel like a proud father & will take a lot of shots!
this may be a good thread to post to see if AC'ers can guess which strain is each!!
look at this picture from that website

I don't know how that is toture. That is what is done to them before shipping. Lowering the water level until they are sideways calms the fish so they don't freak out and break the bags or hurt themselves. It's no different than in the dry season where wild discus would encounter the same exact thing, except many would die from not being able to find deeper water and would be trapped.
