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.  Join our newsletter and never miss a beat.

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.

Thank you for asking. They arrived well and seem to be doing fine. The fish exceeded my expectations and my kids love them. I'll take a better pic when the lighting is brighter. They were a bit stunned at first.

Michael and team, the fish all arrived in excellent condition and settled in quickly. The German Red Turquoise Discus are beautiful and already look great. The two “Cobalt Discus with Deep Blue Gene” have quite a bit more red markings than I expected. Based on the description and pictures on your website, I am hopeful they will lose that red over time. Thank you for your care in shipping and the excellent quality of discus. -James

Hi Michael, thanks for checking in! Yes they all arrived alive! Praise God! Got them into my tank. They have been all cuddling up to one corner of a 90 gallon… they seem a bit stressed. Even my discus I owned prior to these guys, he’s happy to have friends, but seems to be feeding off their stress. He’s turned darker and isn’t swimming in the whole tank like he used to. I did a water change today, and turned off one of the filters to see if it was too much water pressure. They did come out a little today. But are mostly staying in the one corner. They are all beautiful through! Thank you so much!

Everyone is doing great. The wild has a patch of fungus on his side that quickly popped up overnight due to the shipping burns, but I have the tank treated with Paraguard. But that's why we do quarantine tanks. They're all eating, and since this is their 3rd day after arriving, they are becoming more comfortable with the surroundings and coming out to see where the food is coming from.


The colors are starting to show and after a few more days, I suspect they will be showing it off!

The fish arrived and are doing well. They are in 125 with some other small discus. I do not have a quarantine tank. They seem to be eating and adjusting well. I don't know which one is supposed to be watch type. I thought the German and blue knight were going to be blue. I was hoping for more variety of colors and 3 of them look the same to me, though they are all beautiful fish. Now I'm at full stock with 11 discus and can't get any more.

The fish arrived and are doing well. They are in 125 with some other small discus. I do not have a quarantine tank. They seem to be eating and adjusting well.

From Michael: Each of your turquoise discus you ordered indeed have the turquoise genetics, which will indeed cause them to appear similar. That said, you also ordered 3.5-4" fish, which are juveniles. They will grow into their final colors and patterns at around 5".
