I purchased from Macs about five years ago and when my Discus stock dwindled down to one there was little question where I would go.
But the lone survivor had been a bit of a bully and I was concerned about introducing six little guys into my tank with that bully present. Steve told me it should not be a problem, but I was ready to scoop out the big one and take him to my local pet shop if necessary.
Steve was right. Never an issue. One new little guy promptly attached itself to the big guy like a mother, child relationship and, before long, all six were sticking with him, or her. The new ones are feeding eagerly on frozen bloodworms and the big one lets the little guys go for the cube while it feeds on the worms scattered by the little ones. If the tank is disturbed by water changes, maintenance they all huddle up next to the big one for protection. All are healthy, eating well and showing a variety of colors. Very pleased.

I ordered and received 6 beautiful, healthy fish. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you Steve!

The 6 discuss arrived healthy and vigorous. They seem to be doing well few days in. Nice variety of color patterns. Very pretty. More intense colors that I had expected from young discus. Mac was easy to work with and helpful. Thanks

I have ordered from Macs before and my discus are healthy and happy. When it came time to expand my aquarium room I knew I would order my new discus from Macs again. Although the FedEx journey was troublesome and delayed, all my new discus faired very well. I attribute that to the excellent care taken at Macs place in providing very healthy fish that could survive such a journey. I love my new batch of discus.

Purchased a pack of Discus. I had a delay & needed to have them ship at a later date. Great customer service, and when the fish were delivered they were very healthy & colorful. I would recommend this service to any fish keeper!
Posted by jarrett on 17th Oct 2020
All 6 fish arrived colorful and healthy! Began eating almost immediately. It took a few of them a few days to come out of their shells. Steve did a great job hand picking them!
Posted by Michael on 15th Oct 2020
The discus arrived today and they are beautiful, great selection of colors. I am going to let them settle in and then order some more in a month. Thank you so so much.
Posted by Danny on 27th Sep 2020
Great customer service with swift delivery. Beautiful healthy fish. I will buy again from Macs Discus.
Posted by Joshua D Walderbach on 20th Aug 2020
I received 6 of the multicolor discus. All arrived in good health, and acclimated exactly according to instructions. All are growing and thriving, and would definitely use again. First online order with fish, a friend has ordered elsewhere and has had issues with every order. Mac's Discus is the only way to go!!
Posted by Kim on 9th Aug 2020
Very nice and healthy Discus will be ordering again.
Posted by william on 1st Aug 2020
Steve was great! He responded quickly after placing my order and got my discus out within a week. When they arrived they were bright and colorful and healthy. They adapted almost immediately to the tank after I followed the directions sent by Steve via email, and they were eating the same evening. I beyond happy with the decision to go with Macs Discus and would highly recommend this shop to anyone thinking about adding any additions to their discus family or just starting out. You won't be disappointed!

From ordering to shipping the experience was extremely satisfying. Couple of minutes after i placed my order the communication started and I got regular updates. The fish came with a day delay, fedex missed a connection and I was amazed how they managed the extra day in a box. During acclimation they started already being active. Lively, healthy and beautiful fish. I followed the recommendation to get them setup and with a temperature between 86-88F you can see them grow really fast. Their appetite is enormous.
Posted by Markus Remark on 7th Jun 2020
The fish are gorgeous and extremely healthy. Shipping is the fastest I have ever seen! All went very smoothly and Steves help and direction is great
Posted by Luke Vaughn on 28th May 2020
Discus arrived in great condition and they are doing quite well. There is still plenty of room in this tank. In a couple of weeks, after the filter has adjusted, I plan to make another order :)
Posted by Unknown on 28th May 2020
Very happy with our purchase. They all are very healthy and are great eaters. Thank you.
Posted by LuAnn McKinley on 25th May 2020
All fish arrived safely and are doing well so far. Communication from seller is outstanding!
Posted by Joel on 24th May 2020
Overall am pleased. The only knock I have is that the smallest of the six fish received, the Gold Diamond, has not eaten much since he arrived and has also been quite lethargic. I am concerned he is not going to make it. Otherwise, the other five fish are doing well and I was pleased with the customer service and Steves willingness to respond to my questions.
Posted by Kevin B Kolb on 24th May 2020
I received all six Discus fish healthy and active. I have had them for almost two weeks and they are thriving. I will definitely order again.
Posted by Paula on 24th May 2020
3 weeks since the new arrivals (mixed variety 6 pack) arrived. All the fish arrived safe and healthy and after a typical acclimatization, have settled into the community tank really well. All are active and taking a variety of foods. One likes to hang out in a cave overnight - a behavior I have never seen in a discus before. Great experience with Steve would recommend to anyone wanting to get into the world of discus or returning to it as I was!
Posted by Paul Sheward on 21st May 2020
I was not sure at first about ordering a random six pack but after I received the fish I was speechless. They were bright, colorful and full of attitude and energy! I will gladly order another six pack when the time comes!!!
Posted by Josh Chaney on 18th May 2020
I received my order!!! I want to say thank you very very much! The fish came in alive and healthy. They are still in a little shock but have been swimming all around my tank exploring. They are beautiful and I am 100% happy with the fish you guys picked out!
Posted by Scott Philips on 16th May 2020
They have only been with me for 12 days and they have been begging me for food since day 2. These are the human friendliest discus I have ever seen. Follow Steves advice and ask him any questions you might have, beginner or experienced you will never find healthier happier discus anywhere. This from someone who has been in the hobby since 1968. . .

Beautiful healthy fish, very happy !
Posted by Oksana on 14th May 2020
I ordered the 6 pack and I am extremely pleased with health and quality of Mac’s Discus. My discus arrived alive and healthy and were eating the first day. All 6 discus are already starting to show some color. I highly recommend Mac’s Discus.
Posted by Jim on 11th May 2020
Steve is awesome!! He replied everytime and updated me every step of the way.. I am definitely ordering again! Thank you Steve
Posted by Jon B. on 10th May 2020
If you are looking for healthy discus, stop here and buy from Macs. It took a little patience due to the Covid19 crisis, but the health, colors selected and shipping expertise far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Steve!
Posted by Unknown on 7th May 2020
My experience with Macs Discus was fabulous. I purchased to multicolor 6 packs. They were much more than I expected. Arrived alive, a nice mix of colors and bigger than expected. Steve was very patient and responsive to all of my questions. I will buy here again and suggest you do too!!
Posted by Tim McGinnis on 23rd Oct 2019

Thank you for breeding such healthy baby discus. I will definitely purchase from you in the future.
Posted by Ghuck Glen on 25th Oct 2018
I just wanted to say... I LOVE MY DISCUS! They are gorgeous and look very healthy! I am definitely returning and referring you to others. Thank You Mac! Jenny
Posted by Jenny on 25th Oct 2018
I received three discus pairs, the Pigeon Blood, Cobalt, and Blue Turquoise. All showed no stress and their colors were all very good right out of the bags. All acclimated very well took frozen blood worms and even a taste of mysis shrimp late afternoon. I am very pleased with my purchase and growing out a very nice group of Discus. Would recommend buying from Mac’s Discus to all.
Posted by Deirdre G. on 8th Sep 2018
Got the discus today at around 10Am I have to say you never disappoint me!! I love your fish and doing business with you Steve. Looking forward to doing business in the future. Great selection by the way didn’t double up on what I already had besides two which was huge for me. Thank you so much. You’re the BEST!
Posted by Paul Bryan on 9th Jul 2018
arrived fine, good colors to start with. first time buying fish online but no fears anymore ! very happy discus.
Posted by Unknown on 29th Apr 2018
First time ordering fish through the mail, but the 6 color pack deal seemed worthwhile. Fish got here alive, and once I got home from work that night they were completely acclimated and eating; all are well a month later. Steve was very communicative throughout the entire process, and I would definitely do business with again.
Posted by Dan on 6th Apr 2018
I ordered the beginners group of discus. I have never kept discus before this attempt. The fish arrived in perfect condition. I followed the acclimation instructions. The fish were alert and swimming in about 30 minutes. I left the fish in the tank until morning. I started them with frozen blood-worms. They started to eat right away and have not stopped. They are growing and I could not be happier with my discus.
Posted by Richard W Fahs II on 24th Jan 2018

I bought 12 young mixed discus fish from Mac's and they are beautiful and very healthy. After 10 days all are growing vigorously on a diet of blood worms. I think the variety and beauty of the fish I got here exceeds what I can find in my beloved LFS. The advice I got from Steve was great and these are the best prices around. I am really pleased with my order.
Posted by Unknown on 7th Dec 2017
Been keeping and breeding wild green discus since late 80's having started with Putumayo Red Spotted specimens circa 1989. Got my first domesticated fish from Wattley in 93 and in 1998 I got from at Mac's. I lived in Venezuela back then. After 20 years and now back in the U.S., I come back to Steve, and all I can say is his fish are like a "Old Wine"... they only get better as years pass. Thanks friend!
Posted by Ed Ruiz on 4th Dec 2017
I bought this special deal. Steve did a great job providing me with an amazing variety to start my discus tank. The fish arrived in good health. They already show amazing color development for fish this young. All of my fish look amazing. I will definitely get more of these amazing fish. They're beautiful and love to see me approach the tank in the first day. Kudos.
Posted by Brian Levy on 2nd Dec 2017
Could not ask for a better quality juvenile discus. All arrived healthy and eating within hours. Great quality fish and the service is top notch.
Posted by Aaron on 9th Oct 2017
I recently bought 2 six packs of multi discus from. Mac’s Duscus. I hesitated at first after being on couple of different discus forum and having folks recommended buying discus only from their so called approved vendors. I decided to take a chance and buy from Mac’s Discus even though he was not on their “approved” list. I can honestly say that I am very happy with the discus I bought. The service was great. I had all my questions answered and my fears put to rest. The discus are beautiful and healthy and active. I have no doubt that I will purchase more discus from here in the future.
Posted by james. on 8th Oct 2017
Based on my experience I would highly recommend purchasing Discus from Mac's Discus. I recently purchased a Multi Color 6 Pack. The fish arrived as scheduled and appeared healthy. They started eating frozen blood worms within a half a day. Within the week or so since I purchased the fish , their colors have brightened and they are even more attractive and active.
Despite the modest nature of my purchase ,I have been impressed with the attention given to me by Steve. He has promptly answered my questions about stocking levels, appropriate tank decorations and feeding. I appreciate his suggestions which sometimes offer an informed counter point to the opinions you see on line.
Based on my initial experience I ordered two more Discus from Steve and am looking forward to their arrival.
Posted by Art Costantino on 2nd Oct 2017
Great price ,great service,best advice I've ever had about raising discus. Looked all over in buffalo ny.Nothing compares to these beauties will be buying more soon as these guys get bigger to move to there bigger tank
Posted by david borics on 12th Aug 2017
I purchased 2 multi-color packs and requested Steve to send the fish I picked - he was kind enough to oblige. Overall Steve is very responsive, organized and delivers as expected. Fish arrived healthy and were happily enjoying the new tank within hours of arrival. Can't ask for more. Thank you Steve!
Posted by Abijit on 6th Jul 2017
absolutely beautiful healthy fish, extremely happy with my purchase and will continue to purchase from Mac's discus
Posted by Michelle Wallen on 23rd Jun 2017
Ordered summer multipack and was provided 6 beautiful discus. Steve was very helpful in providing all information I needed from shipping to pickup. All fish arrived healthy and are still doing well.
Thanks Steve...
Posted by Unknown on 19th Jun 2017
Steve did a great job selecting an array of 6 different contrasting awesome colors of his most popular Discus fish. The special 6 pack price was a great value. The value added information sharing from Steve has helped me in selecting their food and feeding. A great job...
Posted by Gene on 28th May 2017
This is my second batch of discus from macs and they are nothing short of stunning all eating like pigs will be buying again.
Posted by freddie lightford on 26th May 2017
Fish are healthy we had an issue with weather. Steve is really top notch will do business again. Best customer service hands down.
Posted by Matt on 9th Mar 2017
I placed an order for the six pack discus and right after that the weather got really bad. Steve waited for good weather instead of just sending the fish and hoping they would survive. Most of the fish came perfectly healthy except for one who didn't survive the trip. I contacted Steve and he offered a replacement free of charge and arranged for me to pick it up. He also replied to all my emails promptly and professionally. Would highly reccomend macs discus!!!
Posted by igor on 27th Feb 2017
I have raised SA Cichlids for 25 years and have always been hesitant to invest in Discus because of all the talk about them being so tempermental and the attachment I get to my fish (I hate seeing even one of my fish die). But, Steve gave me all the info I needed to be successful and also calmed my mind about water chemistry. His BLOG is full of helpful info and his fish are the most gorgeous I have seen. I received my fish happy and healthy and they acclimated great. They were already eating a few hours in the my tank and all are displaying beautiful color and even seem to play in the tank and it's only been 48 hours. Steve is GREAT and always available to answer questions. I feel so lucky to have found him and his fish. You can't go wrong with Mac's Discus!!! New lifetime customer!!!
Posted by Justin Rhett on 2nd Feb 2017
This was my first time ever ordering fish online. Was very worried it would not work out but gave Mac's a try. My fish were alive and I followed his instructions to acclimate them to my tank and they are doing great. Will order more.
Posted by Sue Baltz on 29th Jan 2017
This is my first attempt at discus fish and I called Steve "Mac" for some information. I can't stress enough how helpful and knowledgeable he is. In the end I ordered the 6 pack and received a call from Mac that the weather was going to cause some issues which was amazing to me because many people would have just sent them regardless and when they arrived Mac did an amazing job picking the colors. After acclimating the fish are healthy and eating. I will be ordering more as soon as the weather warms up.
Posted by Nathan Crews on 23rd Jan 2017
Dead of winter, in-between snow storms and all arrived safely. Most fun I have had with fish in a long time. Do not hesitate to order from Mac's Discus. - I wish I knew for sure what was included in the six pack so I could order a couple more different fish. - So much fun I am going to set up another, larger tank. Guess you could say I have "Discus Fever". No cure needed.
Posted by Unknown on 22nd Jan 2017
My six pack came in great shape , all feeding well on bloodworms [frozen and freezedried ] ,frozen brine shrimp,and some flake food. I am very happy with my purchase. Even more than I expected.
Posted by stuart c simon on 19th Jan 2017
I ordered the mixed 6 pack, and they are all healthy. Great transaction and communication with mac. Will order again when the 6 pack becomes available. All are happy and healthy with a good mix of colors after 2 weeks
Posted by alice rose on 18th Nov 2016
I ordered the mixed 6 pack, and they are all healthy, and happy. Very pleased and they fit right in my tank. I am very pleased.
Posted by Barbara Barry on 9th Nov 2016
I ordered two multi-colored six packs. I know on the six-packs you get what you get for colors but I asked for a wide variety of colored fish. I received 12 fish that we're not the same color. Just like I asked for. They were delivered right on time and in great health. If you're ordering your discus from somewhere else other than Mac's discus you're making a huge mistake.
THANKS PEOPLE AT MAC'S, YOU GUYS ROCK !!
Posted by Jeff Burns on 15th Oct 2016
I purchased a 6 pack. All the fish arrived healthy. They were packed really well. Gorgeous fish! All are still alive and well. Highly recommend purchasing from Mac's.
Posted by Lori on 13th Oct 2016
Well I bought two six packs last summer and only lost two! I bought 5 more just recently and now have 16 in a 75 gal tank! They are all happy and growing like a weed. You can't go wrong with these six packs!!The color on these is exceptional!!
Posted by Unknown on 7th Oct 2016
BOUGHT A GROUP OF SIX, AND A WEEK LATER BOUGHT TWO MORE GROUPS!!! WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU??
JUMP AT THE CHANCE. AT MY LOCAL PET SHOP, THESE SIZE START OUT AT $40 EACH!!!!
Posted by Gary on 6th Oct 2016
These fish are so happy and healthy. We purchased two of the 6-packs and Steve was so professional and provided great discus-specific information and insight. We will definitely be ordering more from macs discus. Thank you!
Posted by Unknown on 27th Sep 2016
all six discus arrived heathy and feeding aggressively. Pet store fish would always take a few days before they would start to eat, these little guys were comfortable and happy from day 1
Posted by Unknown on 12th Sep 2016
I purchased this pack about 3-4 weeks ago. I wanted to wait a little while before writing the review to see how they were doing. These discus are fantastic. my delivery even got stuck in Tennessee for a day and delayed the delivery but they all arrived alive and well. Great mix of colors and perfectly round. They are eatting very well and some have grown a little since purchasing. Very Pleased and will purchase from Mac Again
Posted by Richard Miller on 11th Sep 2016
Purchased this Multi Color 6 pack and to say that I was very pleased with my purchase is a big understatement. I don't know much about Discus conformation and fin shape etc. etc. but I do know healthy well taken care of fish when I see them. The color selection was awesome and you have to realize that the best of the coloring is yet to come but your success rate keeping discus is almost assured with the selection of healthy fish combined with the knowledge and directions for success by Steve (Mac)!! You Can't Go Wrong
Posted by Walter Kolditz on 2nd Sep 2016
Highly recommend. After 5 weeks of preparation, tank set up, and water stabilization, I finally purchased my first discus pack for my 125g tank. I was nervous about shipping from Washington to Texas but the process couldn't have gone smoother. My fish arrived promptly, alive, well, and full of color. My fish have been in the tank for just 12 hours now and already have begun exploring and enjoyed a small snack as recommended on the acclimation form. We were surprised, the fish were a bit bigger than we had expected. While its only been 12 hours with my fish, I am more than optimistic on their health and I am looking forward to purchasing a few more in the weeks to come. MacsDiscus was great with beginner questions prior to my order on water quality and care. Side-note: I have seen Discus fish at a few of my local fish stores and honestly the fish I received have a much healthier appearance than my local stores.
Posted by Bryan on 24th Aug 2016
Had my discus color variety 6pk of discus for 4 months now. All were well delivered ships with the best! My discus are beautiful. I love them more everyday. No ill effects if you follow the recommendations that is provided. These fish are strong with great immune and definently candy to the eye. Thanks to macs discus for caring about the customer and the customer product. If you have any doubts wash them away or your losing out. Looking forward to ordering more! Thanks all the way from Michigan.

All fish arrived nicely packaged, acclimated them following instructions from Steve, and they have been very happy and healthy. Beautiful colors. Just ordered my second set =)
Posted by Natalie White on 25th Jul 2016
With help from Steve, I ordered the six-pack and
couldn't be happier. They came well packed and as
scheduled. After acclimating and putting them in the tank they were all swimming well and exploring
after a few hours I fed them blood worms and they took to them right away.

All fish arrived in good shape and followed the instructions in transferring to my tank. They were eating blood worms that night.been in tank week and half and are doing great.
Will order again.
Posted by Monty Rhine on 15th May 2016
I received my fish all of which were packaged very nicely "no leaks" and bags were "neatly secured" The color on these fish are absolutely brilliant. They have been in my tank now for 5 hours and are swimming around very nicely. I will be purchasing more of these discus soon. A HUGE thanks to Steve for walking me through the process, giving me helpful advice and promptly sending me the best discus in the nation. I will be posting up an un-boxing and review so be on the lookout for that on YouTube.com and subscribe to "UCCxKuIv6ptx48ooShY3jv9A" where I also give a shoutout to Steve for providing excellent livestock and information! IF I could give Mac's Discus another star I most definitely would in a heartbeat.
Posted by jason romero on 13th May 2016
I just received my BEAUTIFUL 6 pack of Discus.My 2 sons had seen me looking again and again at the beautiful Discus that Mac has to offer. I read all his really helpful advice on keeping these fish happy and healthy. Started my 55 gallon aquarium up again(had some tragedy and put my 3 aquariums away for 8 years)at the end of February.I had a Discus tank before, a Community tank, and a Salt Water tank. Loved them all, but the Discus tank was my favorite. The choices that Mac has now are stunning. Ordered 2 more, so I have 8 happy, healthy,outstanding Discus.They have been in the tank for 4 hours.Lights out for 2 and low lighting for the rest of the evening. They have been checking the entire tank out, and ate blood worms.Didn't miss a beat. Mac is the best. He worked with my son and myself from beginning to arrival. The 6 pack offer is great. Not one is the same color. Very nice selection. Best Birthday in years. Thank you Mac!! I will be ordering again.
Posted by Jeannie Fenstermaker on 29th Apr 2016
Purchased this package deal to see if I would like what I see. Well the answer is yes. Just placed my second order of a few colors that I wanted to add to my browning school of discus. Colored up within a day, and follow me around from side to side. Beautiful fish in size, shape and color.
Mac answered all of my questions to insure I would be ok with my purchase. 5 ⭐️ to Steve. Thank you.

Fish came very quickly and were in great shape. Took a couple hours to shake off the trip but were eating by that night. Will be making another order in a couple weeks for sure.
Posted by Hieu Nguyen on 9th Feb 2016
The discus were like little, living jewels. All arrived safely, all were different and beautiful. All arrived warm and safe. Can't say much more.
Posted by John Smyth on 8th Feb 2016
The fish arrived healthy. They were in a blue tinted water, I'm guessing it was some kind of antibiotic. Anyway they are beautiful. It took a few days for them to eat but they are fine. They seem happy and have adapted to life in a planted tank with tetras and guppies. They are no more difficult to care for than any other fish I have owned. My pH is 7.5 temp is 76. nitrates are below 10. I have a 55 gallon tank. I love having them and will buy more when I get a bigger tank. They are docile and are foraging feeders. they pick and pick and pick and seem to like algae as well as other left over food etc. They are very personable and respond to me being tank side. I highly recommend buying from Mac.
They were shipped with a heater in the well sealed container. Very happy with my experience. Ignore those other negative reviews from other sites. These guys are really responsive and great to deal with.
Posted by Rich on 24th Jan 2016
Love them to pieces! They eat from my fingers after just a few hours of being here. I got a 12 pack for my 65 gallon tank and the next day they were bright colored and following me around the tank. I can just walk by the tank and there they are. I call them my finned puppies.
Posted by Polly & Danny on 29th Dec 2015
Our family enjoys the Discus and we watch them for hours, should have done this years ago.
Posted by Malloy Family on 24th Dec 2015
If you have a tank big enough order a 12 pack. I have a 65 gallon so I got 2 6 packs. This is a very good price for the selection you get. I hadn't had them but a few hours and they were eating out of my fingers. Just follow Steve's instructions and you will have a beautiful tank of Discus.
Posted by Polly &Danny on 20th Dec 2015
I received my discus and love them. They are all beautiful and love the color mix. I was a little worried having fish shipped to me...I followed the acclimation instructions and a few did sink to the bottom, but by the next day they all were swimming and eating. Would absolutely recommend ordering from this site!
Posted by Laura on 18th Dec 2015
I received 2x 6 pk variety and am very pleased with the mix of colors and the health of the fish. I will order again
Posted by Adam on 17th Dec 2015
I bought 2 six packs and they made it just fine and are doing great even with a major power outage. The fish were the 2.25inch but some looked a little small. I would still recommend these Discus as they are very healthy and great color. The only reason I gave a 4 star is that some looked to be 2.0inch.
Posted by Gary on 29th Nov 2015
This is my first attempt at starting a discus tank. I chose Mac's after reviewing many websites and found the reviews for Mac's very encouraging and positive. The support he gives and his years of experience influenced me to place my order with him. The selections he chose were FANTASTIC. All looked in perfect health and vibrant colors even at this young age. The overnight shipping and packaging were excellent too. We had gotten the recommended blood worms and all of the fish began to scarf them down the minute I added them to the tank. They have continued to eat vigorously ever since as well. We did have a little excitement because I hadn't gotten the substrate in the tank before the fish arrived. So after 2 days of acclimating in their 37 gal tank, I moved them to a 5 gal tank and continued to prepare the larger tank with substrate and decoations. We plan to add live plants over time. After 3 days of clearing the water we finally moved the discus into their new home and all were delighted. We can't tell you how very pleased we are with our purchase and look forward to ordering more. I know Mac will be a great resource too as I know we'll have questions for him as we continue down this new adventure of raising discus! Thanks Mac for making this a very enjoyable experience so far.

I have had Discus for over 20 year and bought from several sources. Mac's is at the top of my list. Quality fish and great color assortment
Posted by Alan on 16th Nov 2015
Steve, my discus arrived healthy and after 24 hours were fully acclimated. Eating well and the color variance on the assorted 6 pack of juvenile's is perfect.
Thanks, John

i was nervous about starting a Discus tank, but after talking with Steve I felt at ease. My fish arrived looking nice. After just a few hours, they were swimming all over the 55Gal tank. I have had them now for 3 days and I love them. I know where i am getting my Discus from now on.
Thank you very much

Quickly responded to my emails. Shipping was right on time. All fish arrived alive and , did take some time to recover from jet lag. Within 24 hours all were lively.

I ordered a variety pack with 10 discus. All are doing great and eating flake, granules and frozen/freeze-dried foods. The tank is heavily planted and has driftwood for hiding. I have only had them for 2 weeks but I have seen growth. They also adapted excellently from soft, acid water to Midwest hard.

I purchase my beautiful duscus from Mac's and they arrived safe and sound promptly as Steve emailed me and said they would. I'm getting ready to order my next set this week.

I purchased this 6 pack of Discus 2 weeks ago, the fish were shipped within days and all arrived alive and happy. Steve was helpful and accommodating and I would order from them again in a heartbeat.
