I needed to add a few more discus to my aquarium i decided to buy the assorted discus so I came to Roxy Aquarium with the best experience buying them online before. They arrived perfectly packaged handled the trip okay very cute healthy looking fish will take some time to grow, but with great care extra feeding water changes from me they will get there in no time. I also brought some beef heart from a local supplier already made for discus fish and plenty of dry food & freeze dried blood worms, frozen discus mix everything I can think of & peas so they’re getting a vast majority of different types of food to make them strong & healthy to grow. As they’re already schooling in a group so beautiful & peaceful to see as I’ve had them for a few weeks now Thank you Roxy Aquarium 😊
