theres lucky aquarium at pacific mall... good guy and good supply, you can bargain him down as well if u buy a bunch.

 

[mvanangel]

thanks for the information
that's the place where i bought my first 2 discus from and i am looking for other places so that i could have more choices
you guys have any recommendation?

I've seen plenty of discus at the Menagerie.

Finatics used to have them too, but I don't know if they still carry any.

 

[Rodeo]

Some people with Peel Regional AQ Club breed them, you have to email them to find out.

Oh I didn't see this thread I answered you in your other thread in General.

If you're up near p-mall, there's a bunch of Chinese shops in the Midland/Steeles area. Forget most of the names, but there's one next to the Wendy's (two stores maybe?) and then there's Aquapets over at silverstar blvd too.

I know you said Toronto but I'm still going to reccomend Upper Discus Canada in Barrie, a bunch of my friends are discus freaks and swear by Bob's fish. And from the fish of his I have seen in person I can understand why.

The one on Steeles and Midland besides Tim Horton's and Wendy is Dragon King Aquarium. There are 2 stores very close to each other. I will check both of them and compare the quality but not the price!!!!. If you get the Albino. There is a completely different ways to breed them.

unfortunately Barb Newell passed away in 2007. It's surprising the website is still up as all of her fish and equipment were sold last year

Bob Garside of Upper Canada discus has some great ones.
I hear Dragon King aquarium on Steels by pacfic mall has discus but I have never been there.

 

[Bwhiskered]

Big Al's in Hamilton has some nice red spotted discus at a fair price. There are a number of good discus at Alternative Aquariums in Burlington. I highly recommend Bob Garside in Barrie. He has a bargan tank that is dirt cheap but only a real pro could tell the difference between them and the expensive ones.

thank you all for sharing the information,i deeply appreciate all of them
i would say that i am going to try my luck at Upper Canada Discus, since Bob has been mentioned so many times here already, he should be the one
i tried to email him twice but haven't got any reply yet cos i wanted to find out his detailed address so i could drive over
anyone here knows about his exact location?

thank you

Try his phone number on
http://uppercanadadiscus.com/

He is just north west of barrie.

He just had a shimpment from Wayne NG. I picked up couple of blue knights.

 

[mvanangel]

Burlington??
doesn't sound such a bad idea to pay a visit before i could reach Bob,anybody has any suggestion about buying Discus in Burlington ?
cos i have never been to Burlington before, how long it takes to drive up there from Toronto?

thank you

 

[Bwhiskered]

Burlington or Hamilton is less than an hour away unless you come during rush hours. For a fairly good selection check out Aquatic Kingdom on Dundas Street in Mississauga they have more to choose from in breeding or near breeding size discus.

 

[mvanangel]

i just got back from the Aquatic Kingdom on Dundas Street in Mississauga, they have a huge store but discus doesn't seem to be the main fish there,cos they only got 2 tanks
i have to say that right now Bob seems to be the only choice cos he is only one who is specialized in discus and disucs is the only fish i want now
thanks for all the help

I promise you that you wont regret your visit to BOB. The Wayne Ng discus he has are incredible.
