Posted in another section, didn't get a response, so I'm trying here too.
Looking for discus breeders or sellers in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I recall there was a distributor in the area, Jackie Greg, from a while back.

You might want to try contacting any of the sponsors on this site. They generally have top-notch discus, and since they're associated with this community, they have a reputation to uphold. Plus, they're all pros when it comes to shipping.

I'm aware of a reputable dealer based in Austin. If you're interested, feel free to send a PM and I'll provide their phone number.

Try joining the local aquarium society web page. Ask around there.

I've been through the disease section on Simply Discus and what I found is alarming - a huge number of posts are about discus bought from local sources. The fish are often sick, and you rarely see anyone praising their quality because, frankly, they're just not good. If you're new to discus, do yourself a favor and start with high-quality fish - it's your best bet for success.

Just my two cents...

I've had no luck finding one though - is there a list somewhere on this forum?

There was a guy named Danny Ng on this forum a while back, but he wasn't in the Fort Worth area.
