    Hmm... Anyone knows where to find the following?

    Snow white:


    Marlboro red:


    Although I like blue colour-ed fish, I think these will stand out in a planted tank...

    Anyone seen them on sale recently?

    Hi Justikanz these are some of the more shops/farms that sell quality discus. I have left keeping discus for some time already don't know if these addresses are still correct. Check out this link http://www.aquarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9506

    Hi Justikanz,

    I have one Snow White and Marlboro red. I got them on 11/06/06 at Qian-Hu aquarium farm. Both of them are simply beautiful especially the Snow White, the body look silky smooth and pure.

    They are about 2 -2.5 inch and cost about $20 -$25.
    Hope the info are useful. Good fishing around

    Yes Chai discus is located abt AMK Blk 505 ave 8. Just been there. They have good quality discus but as mentioned by guan, they specialise in certain type of breed (I think red spot and snake skin). They do not have snow white and Marlboro red type.

    For those intend to go to Qian Hu, it is better to telephone to check first, because my understanding from their staff that not all the various speices is available at all time. It depend on their stock arrival and timing as well.

    Guan, there is a LFS on Cantonment Road? Which stretch of the road?

    Daniel, I think since the farm is not exactly out of the way, it might actually be better to go down and see... Afterall, I cannot imagine trying to ask them whether there are snow white or marlboro discus in mandarin over the phone with their receptionist... Sure to be a disaster...

    the road name i really not exactly sure already. haha. know it is located below the HDB only.
    because my dad shop is around the area(neil road), thus sometimes i go there and take a peek.
    but, last went in january.
    but if it close shop already also not suprising, cos the shop turnover rater is very high there.

    Just saw the marlboro red discus at one of the fish farm in Seletar ...can't remember the name, but with big Atlantis signage outside. Walk in from farmway 1. Didn't take note of the other one as I am not into discus

    Thanks, Joel. By the way, please do not use SMS lingo, eg. 'din' for 'didn't'... 'Din' is a proper word but it has a different meaning.
