Hi I am looking to buy a few 3 to 4 inch decent quality discus from someone located locally or with little shipping. I am about 2 hours north of Atlanta. I am a hobbyist and they will be going in an established planted tank with bolivians & a 4 1/2 inch discus. Thanks Sue.

The best bet would be to contact Ken, he is Fishfarm of most of these forums. He has a bunch of wildcaught and captive raised discus. You can also go to the Asian store on Buford Hwy. Phu always has discus and they always seem in good health, but they are farm raised asian imports so you will have no idea of their origins. Plus his tanks are usually filthy so I would be a little cautious. Ken lives over towards Athens, and will allow you come over on the weekends to check out what he has. Where do you live in north Georgia?
Hi Guys... Thanks for the replies so far.
I really prefer to find a local breeder rather than lfs as most lfs that I've seen, unless they specialize in discus, don't really address their special tank needs and alot of them are stunted... It's a generalization I know but thats IMO. But thanks anyways for trying to help, I appreciate it...
I have emailed Fishfarm and will see where he is and what he has to offer.. Sounds like he might be able to answer some questions for me as well. So thanks alot..
Oh.. I live in Morganton between Blueridge and Blairsville if you know the area at all.
Any other names/breeders are appreciated too. I'll keep checking back. Thanks Sue

i've seen your post on Simply too.. Keep hounding DiscusDave. He has good feedback and carries some nice stock.
If you want a local breeder, then Ken is your best bet. He breeds a bunch of different cichlids, discus included, and also collects and imports some crazy stuff. You can also look on aquabid.com. He advertises a bunch on there as FishfarmUSA, and is always happy to have to come and look around or pick up fish won in person.
On a side note, I love the area up around Blairsville. If I could get a job, I would move up there in a heartbeat.
