), but when i do find them i dont want to overpay.
Cost varies by strain and where it came from. At a LFS, you will find that they range from $40-$150 with some much higher (especially a discus specialty store). You are probably goingto over pay at LFS and you may not be getting healthy fish. It's cheaper online but you have to factor in the shipping charges. Airport to airport shipping could run you as much as $100 for a few fish.
It's best to find a local breeder in your area if you want to get a good deal. Just make sure you know keeping discus is expensive as well.

+1 on ^^^ The price is dependent on the grade or quality of the fish, they can get pretty pricey for nice ones.
forum.simplydiscus.com best thing to do is get them from speciaty shops and breeders.
I'd keep them in a bare bottom tank. you're looking at on avg. $10.00 an inch.

Finally found some at LFS. he wanted 23 a piece. 1 of them had ich, the other starting to get it. Long story short my girlfriend seen the most beautiful Green terror Ive ever seen,and she had to have one, so needless to say i now have 2 of them instead of discus
