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.

Michael, Lost one of the discus this morning! I have been treating them with metroplex, as some of the other ones showed signs of stress. Hoping for the best.  I am enclosing some photos of the first order I got in January. These guys have really grown. They were 3-31/2 inches when I got them.

Yes, everything is fine. That 45 gal was my original tank, the 50 gal in the corner has my first fish that became a breeding pair, got a couple tanks of fry. The system is 20, 20 gal tanks. We plan on buying 3 breeding pairs in a couple months once the system is dialed in :)

Would’ve been 5 stars, were it not for the following:

1. The base color wasn’t as white as I’d requested.

2. Large section of the body next to the tail has missing patterning.

I’m not sure what type of discus this is, but it looks nothing like the sample pics of the Yellow Rafflesia. It’s rather shy and likes to hide in the back underneath my HOB. Other than the somewhat bleh coloration and the shyness, it’s doing well.

Good morning. Thank you for the fast delivery. I received everything but a couple of fish doesn't look like what I ordered. I don't think I received  super eruption discus blue base and German red turquoise discus red base. From Michael: Hi Brittany, rest assured your order was correctly fulfilled. I'm looking at your photos right now and I have assigned the correct identification in each of your reviews to each fish you ordered.
