Degen Discus

[Don Hiatt]

Any source for Bernd Degen Discus in the US??? I haven't seen a distributor for his fish over here for years. If not, does someone have any contact info for him in Germany?

Thanks Michael.

I got this from the Discus As a Hobby forum. I asked your question there and got this for one response. It's hard to quote the way it looks there, but hopefully this works.

That sucks. Thanks for looking Lisa. I was in Germany in 1990 and saw many nice discus for sale, but I have yet to see any fish that I liked as much as Degen's.

I like my fish as they are found in the wild and am not a big fan of line bred animals, but the blue fish with yellow and red lines he produced were some of the best looking fish I have ever seen.

I know he had a US distributor many years back by the name of Jack Graves, but I that relationship ended and haven't seen his fish for sale in the US since then.
