Re: Anyone working with Piwowarski Discus?

That's a great question, it's been ages since I've come across anyone working with those discus. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some Piwowarski offspring about 10 years ago, specifically from the PIWOW RT line, and I have to say, they felt like a unique breed to me. I had a pair in my community tank that raised their young, and let me tell you, they were extremely devoted parents - fiercely protective, I should say.

Re: Anyone working with Piwowarski Discus?

I had the same question, and I actually reached out to Piwowarski's team through their website (https://diskuszucht-piwowarski-shop.de/). I was impressed to get a response within just a few hours. However, I hit a snag - they only ship to international airports, such as Newark. Being in West Virginia, that's not a feasible option for me. I'm thinking, maybe we could get a group together to place a joint order, making it more cost-effective, and have someone with access to an airport that Lufthansa flies into handle the pickup. His stock looks great, and the prices are very reasonable. I'd be happy to chip in a bit extra for the person who'd be willing to pick up the discus and ship them out to our little group. Just a thought, as I'm getting back into the hobby after a few years away.

I'm actually close to Newark Airport and have been on a break from the hobby as well. Once I get my tanks up and running, I'd be happy to help facilitate a shipment.

I was wondering this also. I went on his website yesterday and emailed him regarding shipping to the US. (https://diskuszucht-piwowarski-shop.de/). I received a response within a few hours. They would only ship to international airports, say Newark. Since I'm in West Virginia, that's not an option for me. I was wondering if anyone on the site would be interested in banding together to place an order that would make economical sense and have access to an airport that Lufthansa flies into. It looks like he has a good stock and the prices per fish are more than reasonable. I'd be willing to pay a little extra to the person that picks up the discus at the airport and ships to the group that buys into the venture. Just a thought. I've been out of the hobby for a few years and I'm gearing back up.

I'm definitely down to join in on the order once you're all set up.

I think it's a good idea to consider moving on some of Piwowarski's discus sooner rather than later.

Count me in for a combo order, sounds like a great idea. What are your thoughts, goldey?

Still on board with the group order idea, looking forward to hearing back about the details.

His prices are pretty enticing, makes me want to hop on a plane and grab some myself. Never seen him offer adults for sale before.
