150 gallon wild discus project

Who else would you prefer to order from for getting wild strain discus
Wild strain/wild discus are hard to find . Especially as two of the largest vendors for wilds have gone out of business in the last year, Discus Origins and Freshwater Tropical Online.
There are vendors that have Cuipea's, Alenquers, Tefe's- but, they are closer to domestics than wilds.
Places that have these domestic "wild-type" strains are: Han's Discus ( Stendker's, a German strain; I just ordered a pair of "Tefe's" from him a couple of weeks ago and they are beautiful), Kenny's discus, and Uncle Sam's Discus.

If you want wilds, the only place I am aware of is from Jeff @ Tangled Up in Cichlids or ( another Jeff) @ Aquatic Clarity.

Fish have arrived. Now getting drip acclimated and seem to be doing super well. Very happy with these. Very great experience with Michael. Packing was beyond amazing, communication was phenomenal and fish are top of the line. Can’t wait until these guys get settled in to their tank and show off their true color. Picture is of one of the iripixi

Your fish shown does look very good. I urge anyone looking for Wild type or domestic discus to check out Uncle Sam's Discus based in California. Very excellent stock & prices
