About
Myrtle Beach Discus in Conway, South Carolina is a dedicated discus operation that has built a serious following among freshwater enthusiasts across the country. With 25-plus strains available, this is not a general pet shop — it's a focused breeding and retail facility run by Jovan and his team, where discus fish are the singular obsession. Customers drive hours to handpick their fish in the showroom, which is open to the public on Saturdays and otherwise by appointment.
The in-person experience lets buyers browse tanks of vibrant, fat, healthy discus across a range of color morphs and sizes. Multiple reviewers describe Jovan as patient and honest, willing to spend time as customers select individual fish and even accommodating last-minute swaps on orders. The facility also stocks discus food, supplements, and medications — a focused selection that reviewers say surpasses what chain stores offer.
The shipping operation is where Myrtle Beach Discus really flexes. They ship nationwide via overnight FedEx, and the packaging earns near-universal praise — heat packs for winter orders, insulation described as "bombproof," and fish that arrive vibrant after journeys as far as California. Repeat customers — some placing four or more orders — consistently report fish that acclimate quickly and start eating within days.
One longtime fishkeeper with over 15 years of experience called their packing the best he'd ever encountered for live fish. The facility itself is described as immaculate by those who visit, though the appointment-only policy has caught some drop-in visitors off guard. It's worth noting that a handful of reviewers have reported shipping disputes and communication frustrations, particularly around FedEx delivery issues and refund processes.
For anyone building a discus collection, Myrtle Beach Discus offers competitive pricing, serious variety, and fish quality that has earned devoted repeat customers from coast to coast. The Conway location may be unassuming, but the operation behind it ships some of the most impressive freshwater discus available online today.

Customer reviews
“Waited a week and a half for overnight shipping, no communication from them, argumentative customer service, dead fish on arrival and refusal to give a full refund for $54 fish and $100 shipping. The hoops to jump through for a store I wouldn't shop at again is outrageous, and STILL no resolution. I haven't had customer service this bad in YEARS.”
— Cruz Schubert1.019 hours ago“Great prices on Discus and worth our almost 3 hour drive to select each fish. Staff was patient and even great with our daughter. This was our second time getting fish here, and always happy with their selection.”
— Shane Penland5.02 weeks ago“Purchased 3 beautiful Discus on Black Friday (excellent price) and had them in the tank by Wednesday. This is my 3rd or 4th purchase from MB and the service and quality is always amazing! Will purchase again and again. Also have visited the facility and it is immaculate, and staffed by knowledgeable fish keepers. Highly recommend!”

— Joseph Timmons5.02 months ago“Great quality discus. Packaging was on point. All fish did well after a 10 hour drive. Jovan was patient as I selected my fish and he is honest too. Highly recommended!”
— jay5.02 months ago“Zero stars. I drove to this place from Columbia so that I could check out the Discus and maybe talk to the experts. Upon initial entrance I felt uncomfortable. The fishy smell was the only evidence of fish inside of the store. The lady that was sitting up front was surprised to see me when I walked in and she went to the back to get someone who told me that all of their fish was in quarantine. They also told me it was by appointment only and I could not see the fish. Safe to say that my business will be going elsewhere.”
