Wild Mangal Discus
$160.00
If you are a collector that enjoys a wild yellow and brown toned discus with a beautiful black halo, look no further. In planted tank environments, these discus often exhibit vertical stress bars. However in bare-bottom conditions with good lighting, the bars disappear.

Hi Michael,
My wife is still crushed about the Royal Heckel. He was a beauty. The Penang has been a bully since hitting the water. The Eruption just got off it's side. The Ica must still be stressed out because of his color. Here's a bunch of pictures.
Cheers,
My tank is almost back to perfect. I'll take a pic later today and share. Gonna be ordering some more rams and plants soon
The fish arrived just before noon central. The box looked like it had a bit of damage but the Styrofoam was in tact. I acclimated the fish but it looks like 1 is still struggling and is pale in color.

Thanks for checking in. I have been quite happy with the discus I ordered back in December. You continue to have the best selection of unique discus anywhere. I felt that I received fish that were at least as big as what I paid for, and that is commendable.
Two things are keeping me from placing another order. Since you asked, I'm happy to share my perspective, which may help you.
The increased threshold from $400-$600 spent to qualify for free shipping is an absolute crusher for most people. For me to be spending $600 to qualify for free shipping is just not practical at this point.
The unpredictability with regards to when the fish will be shipped is a big challenge for working people. I can put a preference, but it would be helpful to lock in a shipment date. Let's be honest, if I spend upwards of $500 on a shipment, I'd like it to arrive on my day off rather than sit on my porch for 6 hours.
With that being said, I still might place another order in the coming weeks despite running out of space. I am particularly interested in an albino solid yellow strain with dark base. Thanks for asking my opinion.
Best wishes,
Michael
From Michael:
Hi Michael, thank you for your thoughtful email. It's great hearing from you, and congrats on your discus collection. Your fish look absolutely spectacular. Let me address each of your points.
1) Please point me to another discus seller that even offers free shipping in the first place. You won't find one because I'm the only one in existence. Discus.com guarantees customers the lowest possible price without jeopardizing fish quality due to the competitive relationships we have with our shipping accounts (mass volume) and overseas breeders. This winning formula is our secret recipe that enables Discus.com to be the #1 discus seller in the world. At the end of the day, you won't find a better price point than what we offer. (Trust me, I've looked.)
2) We require a degree of flexibility from our customers, and they understand this. We are not in the business of selling furniture or computer equipment. Due to the complexities involved with shipping live tropical animals, circumstances may change up until the moment a customer's order is packed. For example, if we deem that certain specimens will not survive a trip, we would rather delay or cancel an order altogether rather than ship an order that will contain casualties.
Let me know if you have any questions. Very truly yours, Michael Li
So beautiful!!
Michael, thanks for the shipment! Fish look great. Wonderful choices. Golden Nugget is hiding but looked good last night.
I received my blue sapphire and 2 wild mangals. Fish doing great eating well. Very healthy and beautiful. Great support from Mike after you receive them. Will definitely buy more.
It looks like my new Mangal discus colony has already made a new friend!
These lovely mangal discus are some of my favorites in the most recent batch I ordered.
Thank you very much. You definitely made it an awesome experience from start to finish.
