UK Discus Association
Championships and spotted fish!
I feel that my hard work at
Leicester Discus and with David Lim of Fishio Tribe is
now being fully vindicated. At the UK Discus
Association Championship this year it was a real to come
out with the my spotted fish earning the top 5 highest
marks for spotted fish located in the UK. This was
only surmounted by one of my Scarlet Spotted taking
'Tropical World's Best Discus in the UK Award'.
Mid April 2005
New Stock
I received a new shipment in from David Lim of Fishio
Tribe, the will be out of quarantine towards the end of
May 2005.
The new fish include:
- Scarlet Spotteds (the real deal),
- Crimson Spotteds (no impostors allowed),
- Pure Goldens (a dream come true),
- Red-Whites (even Dougall tried to steal these
from me),
- Leopards (the one and only),
- Rose Reds (couldn’t get sexier),
- Golden Leopard Snakeskins (for the connoisseur)
Demand is high for these fish and once out of
quarantine it will be first come first served.
All fish are 100% genuine as described and will come
with a certificate of authentication.
p.s. Don't forget to come and see my stand at the
UK Discus Association Show 2005

The Scarlet Spotted Saga
Rages on . . .
'What's in a name'
Recently I imported quite a few of David Lim's
'Scarlet Spotted' discus into the UK and the reception
and response that the fish has received has been
phenomenal. So much so that a considerable number
of other importers are claiming to be selling these
fish.
I can assure you that they are not. They may
indeed be selling leopard snakeskins - and some may well
be of excellent shape and colour - however they simply
ARE NOT of the original show winning
Scarlet Spotted line of David Lim
(I guess that the one of
the highest forms of flattery is in imitation
 ).
What's the difference
I would suggest that the difference is:
- the years of development, care and attention
that David has taken with this strain in order to
produce quality fish after quality fish.
- the hard factual evidence of the international
show winners that David has produced.
- Seeing is believing - this is a fish that NO
picture can truly do justice to . . . you must
really see it in all its glory.
What next
The demand for genuine scarlet spotted is very high
and current requests are outstripping existing stock in
many countries throughout the world. However I
have a number of these fish available to genuine discus
enthusiasts and I will be visiting Singapore in the
coming month to personally collect more of these fine
discus, so please do contact me to arrange viewing of
these fine fish.
