theres a place in orlando fl where i live that sells all types od bred discuss for very very cheap and when i say cheap i mean like 0.99 per fish... but i dont know there sight or where there located.. i was curious on should i buy them or not
 
for 99 cents i would find out where they are and give it a shot!
can you post who it is? maybe someone has personal experience.
 
Discus breeders have to cull a lot. Some pairs throw a whole lot of fish that look more like footballs than discus. And you will often find cheap discus when a breeder has tried a cross that just didn't work out too well. So be very careful about what you get for a buck.

I bought culls when I first started raising discus. I had heard they were oh-so-sensitive and I wanted experience before I put money into them. Yep, those were some u g l y discus when they grew up. And I had them for years and years (I like fish even if they're mutants).
 
The man you are referring to is Dave..AKA Zenman. I used to sell to him a lot of my discus fry. Not anymore since he started claiming that all the fish I sold him, he bred himself. Plus, Dave is a very shady character. His DOA track is very poor and only offers direct replacements for any DOA's...and shipping at the customers cost. The fish he sells online now are ones that he breeds, but I have seen his fry before and they are crappy looking. Poor shapes and semi-stunted...even at 2". IMO, stay away....if you want good discus, look elsewhere.
