About
Walking into Mike & Miguel's Fish and Plant Store in Las Vegas feels like stepping into a rainforest transplanted into the desert. The shop — also known as Discus America — has earned a devoted following among aquarists across Nevada and beyond, and for good reason. This is a store where plants cascade from every surface and tanks brim with some of the most sought-after freshwater fish in the hobby.
The real draw here is the specialization in Altum Angelfish and discus. Miguel has built a reputation as a premier Altum Angelfish dealer, sourcing F1 Atabapo specimens that arrive to customers in impeccable condition. One California buyer drove six hours to pick up a group of eight Altums, then ordered another eight shipped via next-day air — all arrived perfectly packed with generous heat packs and pristine water temperatures.
That level of care in fish handling and shipping is hard to find. But the fish are only half the story. The aquatic plant selection is what keeps locals coming back every other week.
Reviewers rave about healthy anubias, Monte Carlo tissue cultures at competitive prices, and a rotating stock of rare plants that rival any specialist shop in the region. Miguel's plant knowledge extends beyond the aquarium too — he helps terrarium builders find the right species and offers practical growing advice that actually translates to success at home. The store carries Aquarium Co-op products and a variety of plant substrates at fair prices.
Mystery snails, guppies, and other livestock round out the inventory, but the heart of the operation is clearly the discus, angelfish, and planted tank world. What makes Mike & Miguel's exceptional isn't just the stock — it's the atmosphere. The staff treats every question with patience and genuine enthusiasm.
There's no pretension, no pressure. You walk in curious and leave inspired, usually carrying a bag of plants you didn't plan on buying. For freshwater hobbyists in Las Vegas, this is the shop that keeps pulling you back.
