Under no circumstances should one buy discus from this vendor. Most of them arrive undersized, and sick.
I have ordered three-3.5 inch discus. Only one arrived 3.0 inches, and healthy. Leopard discus was 2.75 inches, covered in ick, frayed fins, and malnourished. Blue snake-2.5 inches,malnourished, ick.
The packaging was poor, and the heating pads cold on arrival, even though I picked them up directly from UPS in their service center.
They are being treated, but not clear if they will survive.
The vendor refuses to remedy the situation. He states that he promised live arrival, and they arrived alive!

To me
You did not send pictures proving of the fish in question. The picture you sent IS NOT undersized.
I am not going to keep going back and for the with you.
Your fish arrived alive. They are the correct size.
This transaction is now complete and finished.
Your account is now closed.
I will not reply again.
