drs foster and smith (liveaquaria.com) has discus- fish are really well priced- but shipping is another story. I wish i lived closer to them.

u should be able to find them at a local dealer and don't mean petsmart or petco. my discus was given to me as a gift from my dad when i got into tanks and as long as i can remeber he always had a discus or two in his tanks. i just transferred mine into my 37 gal. two days ago from my 29 gal. (had to take it down tank looked like crap) but its killing me because i keep coming across discus seen three blood pgeon discus the other day at a store called critters going for 53.99 a piece they were alittle bigger than a half dollar. then i seen a red turquoise the same size as my yellow marlboro which is pretty huge going for a 159.99 keep looking their out there.
