GENERAL Q&A

  • Do you breed your own fish ?
We breed fishes in our big farm in Vietnam. Our breeding pairs are selected from some of the finest purebred strains in the world.
  • How difficult are Discus to keep ?
Don’t believe the hype about Discus. Keeping Discus can be for everyone and is also quite rewarding. They do require a bit more attention than a goldfish. The smaller the Discus the more growing they will have to do. We recommend weekly water changes (40-80% volume), if you can do more then go for it.
  • Where do Discus come from ?
Discus originate in the Amazon river in South America. We source our Discus from the our Farms in Vietnam and our partner in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

Discus can grow up to 8 inches with proper care. 

Flower Horn can grow up to 12 inches with proper care.
