Quality Discus in Midwest/Chicagoland

[inssane]

The Discus I have seen around here are crap. I will be looking for some nice ones such as snakeskins and golden dragons. Now, I am deciding what type of tank I want (my 55) and I have done discus so I am comfortable, but considering fish like severums.

Anyhow, anyone preferably in Chicagoland or that will ship reasonably in the midwest, I would at least like a few prices down the road, or just a website, or even better a place to see the discus. I would like to see the actual fish I would be buying at least.

Thanks
Nick

Animal Island in Midlothian on 144th and Cicero has beautiful discus. Well worth a trip!

There is a group in New Lenox that do only Discus and they have decent prices and always seem to be getting new strains/shipments. I have heard good things. I plan on getting some myself once my 300 is ready.

If you want juvies to grow out, look up William Palumbo.

You could also consider wilds from the sponsor here, Snookn21. Shipping is fast, reliable, and not absurdly priced given the cost of the fish themselves. I find wilds more hardy than domestics. You can get domestics (for more money) from Kenny's Discus or Hans and be 100% certain you're getting amazing fish. Check out SimplyDiscus.
