Discus Fish Sale – Proceed With Caution
Buying high quality discus for your fish tank is something you should not take lightly. If the fish of your choice are very picky about their environment, it is even more essential.
If you are buying specialty fish, like discus, “Discus Fish Sale” is not something you want to get sucked into. These little guys are delicate and require special care and attention.
Also avoid getting them at your neighborhood all-purpose pet store.
Your best option is to find a store that is dedicated to rearing and selling the best quality fish. Such stores have a reputation for that. As a result, if you are just starting out and are not familiar with the fish shops in your area, ask a serious aquarium hobbyist. He or she will surely be able to lead you to the right place.
Finding discus fish online is another possibility. This approach has some very positive advantages:
Discus breeders who sell online are usually very well acquainter with well being and contentment of the fish they breed.
They know how to package the fish for the safest trip to your aquarium.
You will get excellent quality merchandise.
Negatives for online purchases: cost. In order to get top quality packing and shipping, you will spend somewhere in the area of $100. This will get your fish delivered to you in good shape and in the shortest time.
But, when you consider discus costs, they are not inexpensive to start with. Paying a higher cost for getting them into your tank safely is a good expenditure, especially if that local fish store does not offer discus fish for sale.
Anyway, be careful where you get your discus fish.
Prior to either going to the fish store for your purchase or ordering your discus fish online, you should prepare the tank. A well prepared discus habitat is most important to their success.
Make sure the water temp is correct – that would be around 80 degrees. The pH of the water is also important and vital. The best pH level is between 6.2 and 6.8; alkaline water will not do well with your new fish. Discus also favor soft water, somewhere between 150 and 180 ppm is good.
Finding a trustworthy place where discus fish are available may take some time and research, but it is well worth the effort. If you buy healthy fish, they will be with you much longer.
Don’t be too quick to take advantage of the Sunday paper ad that announces “Discus Fish Sale.” Do your analysis before making a buy. Don’t be tempted by the least expensive price, but do be tempted by good quality and breeder reputation.
It is also important that you know what to do with them after you get them. For more information about discus fish after purchase, visit http://www.livediscusfish.com.
