Jack Wattley Discus

The quality of fish they sent me are f grade. And the website pictures online do not match what they are actually shipping out to the customers. I got a red panda discus and she is stunted in growth, peppered and her fins are jacked up. I can fix the fin issue but the fact of the fish is a low grade fish and not matching up with the price tag hurts. I would of thought better with all of the great reviews on here. I have had discus fish for over 10 years now and I know that does not amount to Jacks time with them. Their customer service said the peppering comes and goes and has nothing to do with the quality of the fish.

I received the most beautiful healthy fish I have had in a long time! As a pro of behavior of business and people, I learn a lot from observing behavior (of fish too☺️). These fish were clearly raised very well! No sunken belly, not shy or scared of every moment, and they didn’t waste any time settling in like they were home. They have very typical behavior of well established fish despite their journey. They all behaved as if they were here from day one! The package was well wrapped and delivered quickly. The order was processed & shipped on Monday, and arrived on Tuesday. The styrofoam box had a large plastic bag containing several smaller plastic bags, which had the fish secured in place thanks to support from bubble wrap (seen in their YouTube video). The packaging structure made the acclamation process easier. I followed the instructions seen in the video on your website titled acclamation process. The fish see us pass by the aquarium and they remain unbothered but aware. The discus were very friendly and slowly approach my hand when I was in the aquarium adjusted a plant upon their arrival. The discus don’t school like they’re afraid to venture off alone. If I alter the water currents they adjust quickly after schooling for a bit. I alter the currents using my gyre remotely. It’s a great way to get everyone schooling while staying dry. They were looking to eat after two hours of their arrival. Discus pecking order is happening now, which is their first morning here. Some discus I received from a different breeder, took several weeks to adapt and their behavior was different than these. Anyway, I’m Looking forward to learning my new discus little personalities over time. These discus are 2.0-2.5” and eating well! I frequently share updates on social media (e.g., adroit living on TikTok, YouTube, etc), because my aquariums are the background to my virtual meetings, etc. I will tag you so you can join in watching what comes of the babies I received.😉 Most TikTok videos are only the fish because I don’t need to speak outside of how-to-videos. I speak enough in meetings. 🤣 I have not had these fish for a long time. But I have been in the aquarium hobby over 20 years! I would highly recommend getting fish from Jack WATTLEY, Gabe and crew! I’ve been silently observing them for years! I finally elected to join them and get some of their babies. They’re a very passionate intelligent group of people who care about their fish, and not just about making money! The information they have is very FORTHCOMING, accurate, and helpful! Those are all the attributes of an organization which can outlast other organizations. Their fish is far lower cost than some who seem mainly focused on sales (especially meds). I’m extremely picky about joining groups. If I must join any group, it’d be this one! I’m glad I joined and I can’t wait to share my experiences over time. Great history of excellent work Jack WATTLEY, Gabe, the camera crew, and everyone! Whoever you have on the camera has always done a fantastic job on those angles! IJS 🥰 Congratulations on expanding. I’m so happy you were able to get a new spot while keeping the old one. Blessings come to those who deserve it. I will remodel 2 aquariums soon. So, I’ll be back.😉

Was not expecting such high quality fish considering the price but to my surprise the discus look amazing. Local places cannot compete best discus in Florida and prices by far, definitely shopping again.

I've dealt with a few online fish stores with my discus so far and this is by far the best experience I've had all around. From the health of the fish and the way that they are adjusting to customer service. I impulsively reached out to the owners when I received my fish due to a misunderstanding on my end and was out of line. I received a call from the owner personally after he saw my email and he explained to me specifics about the fish that I did not know even after being a discus enthusiast for the last 8 years. His patience and understanding was very appreciated and now I have found the new website I use for buying discus fish online. Thank you again! And I apologize for my impulsive, angry attitude. I was 100% out of line. 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🙂(In the photo I attached I have the lights off to help reduce stress)

Wrong breed of fishes were sent. Since anyone can clearly see the posted picture on website doesn’t match shipment. We’re human. Just need to admit it and move on. Don’t need to send mean reply to customer. Please see the picture of posted Mustard Pleco and what I have received.
