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.

Hi Michael,




All the fish arrived in perfect condition. The Rams are beautiful and healthy. Ver happy with them. The Emperor's are in great condition too. Just expected them to be bigger being they are advertised as large Emperor tetra and the photo shows full grown Emperor tetra. But packed great and colored up nice and healthy.




Thanks Paul

I paid more for a 3.5 - 4 inch Golden Pigeon Leopard. What I received is more like a 2.5 inch. From Admin: Make sure you're measuring from tip of nose to end of tail. We didn't shortchange you.

I was extremely apprehensive about buying fish sent UPS or FedEx. When they arrived they all appeared in great shape in the medicated bags. I followed protocol in introducing them into my aquarium and they have adapted well. Healthy beautiful and gradually coming out more and more. I do not believe I will ever buy Discus any other way again.
