Dear
Tony,
Thank you so much for sending
me four beautiful Discus all in fine health and looking good.
They arrived nicely packaged and
safe. I followed your acclimation instructions carefully and as a result the fish adjusted nicely to their new environment.
This
ordering on-line via the Internet was a new endeavour for me, but as a result of the generous time you spent with me, your
careful instructions and your knowledge about my Discus Fish, I’m sold on the process and your ‘Sunrise Tropicals’
fish services in particular.
Most
Sincerely

Hi Tony-
Thank you for an awesome assortment of discus. They looked great coming out of the bags, and they were
as friendly and hungry as ever within an hour or so of being placed in the tank. At separate feedings, I've been giving them
a beefheart mix and bloodworms with your vitamins, and they chow down on both. I'm looking forward to seeing them grow.
Thanks again. Take care.

Tony,
Just wanted to let you know that everything arrived perfect once again. Thank you for your time and
I will be contacting you soon to order more. I want to breed these Scarlets and I will be needing to get another 4 from different
parents once you get some more that are not related let me know.
Thank you,

Hi Tony,
Thank
you for taking good care of these shipments. I’ve got them this morning around 10 am from FEDEX. The small box is good and fish are swimming fine right now. The big box had 4 wet newspapers
(2 Green Discus and 2 Heckel Discus). The 2 Green had less water and was leaking. The 2 Heckel had a little less water then
the green discus. With all that, I think they should be okay after a few days of settling in.
Thank
You Tony

Hi Tony,
The discus came in this morning about 9:50 EST.
Beautiful fish!!!
All were in good shape. No water leakage in the box and the inside of
the box was very warm. The outside temp here was in the low 50's. I didn't measure the inside temp of the box,
but it was at least in the high 70's if I had to guess.
All the paper between the bags was wet, not really soaked, but damp.
Plenty of water in the bags but the discus can punch holes in 4 ml bags, but not thorough 3 layers of plastic
bags and newspaper. No leaking outside of the bags and no major water loss. No water between the layers of the
bags except for the newspaper being damp.
But the most important thing is the fish were all in super shape and beautiful.
Very round. Red eyes. Small eye/face but large body...good quality fish. Very small fine scales, powder blue color.
Very nice. Always the best from Tony.
Sincerely,
Bill from TN

Tony,
I just wanted to tell you
the fish arrived and they all look great. I have them in the qt tank now and they seem to be doing well. I really like the
Monster blue! I should have gotten more of those, maybe next time. The packing was stellar, not a single drop got out of the
bags! Thanks again for all your help; I hope to do business again soon!

The Rose Reds are just beautiful, and they arrived in great condition, even though Fed Ex
delivered them late. Your packing job was superb and their water was still nice and warm. They ate the first
night they were in my QT tank, too. Thanks again for great service, both before and after delivery.

Hi Tony, just wanted to thank you and let you know that I got the Discus and they
all are in great condition. Thia is the first time that I get Discus that don't lay on the side in the bottom of the tank
for a day or two, these guys were swimming around as if they were not even shipped. I really thank you for your proffessional
packing, shipping and doing business. My experience with you made me take a decision that you will be my only source for Discus
from now on. Thanks again Tony.

Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2006 11:15:04 Hello Tony, Everything arrived just fine.
All I have to say is WOW!!!! You have the nicest Discus have been able to get my hands on. This last batch was absolutely
beautiful. Again thank you for your time and effort you have put out for me. I will be ready in another month to purchase
some more of your Quality Discus.
Thanks Again,

Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:08:01 Mr tony, The scarlets are beuatiful,
began eating right away and definitely bought some happiness these past few days. Only one really had "reduced" color
out of the box but that came back in an hour and they all look brilliant and very deep red- just awesome! Take care and
i am extremely pleased with the latest order! best regardas, Richard (Melbourne,FL.)

Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 22:07:21 Dear Tony,
I am pleased to say that one of your virgin red discus that I bought from
you about a year ago has laid a batch of eggs! She has not paired up with any discus though, so they are not
fertilized. I have attached a picture of the eggs. They may be a little hard to see but the eggs are on the side of the
tank. Edwin (Los Angeles)

Tony,
The leopard mosaics
arrived in great shape. They started
foraging two hours after acclimatizing. Colors
and pattern are true to description as well.They are alert and unafraid of people.....coming to front of tank begging for food. These are signs of healthy discus. Thanks for the exceptional discus you sent me.Thomas. (Tennessee)

night I have fry!
Thanks again,

Hi Tony,
Here are some pictures of the fish I got from you. In
picture 0056 I still had the black gravel and they were dark like that all the time, except the yellow diamond. Picure 0061
was when I just finished taking the gravel out. They really didn't like that black gravel, all my fish were dark and dingy.
The rest are after I put in the new natural colored gravel. When I get a chance I will take some more and I have a few videos
I took with my picture camera of before and after the gravel. Thank you so much for the beautiful discus you sent me. These
Discus Are The BEST!!!

Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 17:11:33 Hi Tony , Thanks for the beautiful fish. They all came

They are eating out my hands already! Can't wait for them to grow.
Thanks! Art (Iowa)
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 14:10:42 Hello Tony. The discus arrived at 9:10am this morning.
They seem to have acclimated fine in my show tank. The four fish are beautiful and very healthy looking. Thanks
again and I am sure that I will be a repeat customer. Phil:) (AZ)

Tony,
I got the fish yesterday. We had to pick them up at the FedEx depot, but we got
them by late afternoon. The fish were stressed from the trip, but when we were introducing them to the tank they were
alert and full of curiosity. They ate the first night. This was the first time I have had fish shipped and these guys are
less stressed than most pet store fish. Today they're all up at the front of the tank and happy. They look great. I can't
wait to see them grow up.
Thanks, Eric From Canada
The discus arrived in great shape and are doing well in thier
new home. They are eating well and socializing with the 3 existing discus. Thanks for the beautiful fish! You did a great
job packing them and they arrived at 9:30 am. I hope to do business with you again when you get some wild Heckels discus.

the great variety of discus you have. The 5 pigeon discus that I bought from you are doing great and look awesome. Only two
days have passed and the discus are already feeding from my hands. I can't wait to get another aquarium soon so I can return
to your shop to purchase many more discus from you. You truely have a customer for life! Thanks, Brandon

Tony, I have ordered fish and supplies from you several times now. I continue to do business with you, not only because
of the superior quality of the product I receive, but also because of the excellent customer service you provide. Much care
goes into the packaging to ensure the fish arrive safely. Even when its been 17 degrees outside, my fish have always been
healthy right out of the box. I also appreciate the follow up phone calls from you making sure everything arrived safe and
sound. Thanks again! Dave from Minnesota

My Leopard and Ocean Green Discus arrived this morning. I am very impressed
the fish are larger than what I imagined. Very Excellent quality (color, shape, nice thick bodies). I enjoy receiving
Discus from you, I wish I had more aquariums to get more. Maybe in the future (early future, If the wife allows it (ha
ha ha). ) Gold Nugget Pleco also nice. I will let all my fish buddies here in Michigan know where
to get top quality Discus. You have been very helpful to me, and I Thank You.

Hi Tony,
Just wanted to send you a quick update on the discus I bought recently from you...the
large Super Ring Leopard male you picked for me has paired with the RSG female I bought a few weeks earlier and has proven

Hi Tony,
I want to thank you for the wonderful discus I purchased from you recently. The discus you offer are some of the best quality
I have seen since keeping discus the past 5-6 years . The Red Scarlet and Orange Scorpion are amazing, the Dragon King, Leopard
Skin and Stripe Pigeon are simply beautiful. I really appreciate you taking the time going over details of the different discus
strains, it really helped my selection process. I look forward to purchasing 1-2 more adults to complete my 75 gallon Discus
tank.
Thanks Again

Tony,
Let me start off by saying, all 36 discus arrived alive & well. I also have to say, I have dealt with several different
Discus suppliers, & you by far have the best selection, price, quality of fish I have ever seen. You ship out in a very
timely manner.
The Snowfire, the White Butterfly & the White Diamonds are beautiful. I now have 14 different strains of Discus.
I am interested in the Ocean Green & still the Nebula if you can locate them. I would prefer to buy from you if you
can find a source for them.
Thank you again for such a fine quality of Discus,
Ronnie from Texas
Subject: feedback on my fish and wanted to buy Date: Sat, 07 Jan 2006 12:45:43 Hi Tony, The beautiful young
adult RSG and ring leopard that I bought from you a few weeks ago are doing very well, and have both recently produced
eggs...so I am looking for a couple good male RSG or ring leapards to match them up with...if you have any extra nice
young adult males of those types, please feel free to email me...I might be able to arrange another trip to your facility.
By the way, the 7 tiger bubbles are growing very quickly...and I'm really enjoying their excellent body shape and
color. Thanks for the high quality discus and professional transaction! Regards, Steve Riverside, CA
