In the very incestual world of the discus there are many many different strains out there. I was just curious about a few things.

1) what is every ones favorite strain

2) favorite or particular breeder?

Just a feeling and i would like to see the fish i am buying before i buy it, plus i do hear some stories also about people complainin the fish died in 24 hours because of stress.

I love Gold Marlboros and Blue Heavens.  Both types will be going in my new tank.  As for a favorite breeder, I'd recommend www.GreatLakesDiscus.com.  I haven't ordered from their yet but I will most definately do so.  There strains are wonderful, prices excellent, and staff knowledgeable.  I have talked to Cary, the owner, and am 100% confident with the hatchery.   *celebratesmiley*

Well, I do have some of my adults, adolescents & even some growout for sale right now.  There's some on my site and then I have a tank with 40 growouts made up of Blue Heavens, Super Red Royal Blues, Red Pigeons & Red Pigeon S/S.
