Was the discus worth it?

they're beatuful and look really nice in a well planted tank. i would say any aquarist should try them out when they have the money/equipment/time (almost like the last frontier in freshwater IMO, with the exception to freshwater pipefish)

I'm in ATL, GA with a large fish warehouse/vendor/breeder in the city if that makes a difference

 

[cheesy318]

That explains it

The price for GBR can vary a lot based on breeding. I bought a pair from a high end lfs here in town for $40. When one died I replaced it with a GBR from a chain store. The chain store GBR was hideous in comparison.

$50 betta

 

[Old Scales]

$60 US for a dwarf chain loach. Shipping was more than the loach. LOL I named him "six-oh".

[nataz]

Haha, well I'm new and wasn't sure...

And I was wrong, my Black Diamond Rhom was 250.00 -- Piranha 12" wild caught
