    That is a dream price for Discus!
    Discus prices here are:
    2-3" - $45-65
    3-4" - $65-$125
    5" - $100 -$145
    6"+ - $125-225
    Unreliable pairs - $150-400
    Proven Pairs - $300-$1000

    Full 10 gallon setups (filter, hood, tank) are like $40 here... Glass only is $10-$12. That is for a brand new tank!

    Dear god :eek: A proven pair is just about 100 dollars here ! ( Not really good in transfering it from euros but it's really close)
    Full 10 gallon setup (without stand) is about €100,- so about 150 dollars :|

    I told you it is expensive....

    For tanks (I asked a pet store a month ago) a 150 gallon tank (72"x18"x24") for $599 without an overflow drilled and $799 for a drilled tank with overflow.

    Considering the glass on a 150 is about 1/4" thick and the tank weighs empty well over 200lbs that really is not that bad!

    That price is NO filter that I gave.... just the tank.... NO hood, JUST the tank.

    But $2100 for a tank like that is expensive :(

    You were not kidding when you said that the tanks were expensive and the fish were cheap :confused:
