All cuddling together. These
Millennium Gold were afraid of me.
I was trying to get a shot at them.
After my short journey to the back, I continued browsing through
their selection of Discus. The Millennium Gold Discus is a great
specimen to look at. If you have a chance buy them! I came upon
a tank of young MGs. They were afraid of me at first, perhaps
because I was with a camera. After some "hand raising"
from me it didn't really helped. Mrs Chai came and raised hers.
Ohh... They came like a pack of hungry wolf.

These little wolves reacting to
Mrs Chai!
Discus seem to be able to recognise their owner. I don't know
why. I think they observe the actions and movements of the owner.
So if another person comes along, they may be a little cautious.

Checkerboards showing off
their bodies by swimming at the
front of their tank.
Something caught my eyes! Mr Chai was carrying a bucket and
he went towards an empty tank. He reached into the bucket and
to my surprise, in his palm were Checkboards! He was catching
them with his bare hands! No, they were not struggling or flipping
around. In fact, they were lying still on his palm. Mr Chai
even showed them to me with a smile on his face. Hehe :0). Cool
man! This behaviour uncharacteristic of Discus is amazing. Although
I can do the same for some of my Discus, but those are rather
large (4 inches and above) and very tame. These Checkerboards
are merely 2.5 inches in length.

Mrs Chai catching a juvenile
Snakeskin for a customer.
I strayed away from Mr Chai and I saw Mrs Chai helping a customer
select a Snakeskin from a tank. I sauntered to the scene to
find that the customer was very picky. He wanted a Snakeskin
with lots of fine lines, but these are juveniles and their patterns
and colourations are not fully developed yet. Mrs Chai explained
to him the details and he picked one Discus. Not bad, at least
he bought a Discus.

Dry food, pumps and books
on sale in this section of the store.
It's rather hard to be a breeder and maintain a store like
that. It cost roughly $100,000 to start up as a full-time breeder.
Expenses for rental, medication and food are a real killer!
What about the utilities bill!!! Opps. I think the water usage
is got to be enormous.
Signing off from Chai Discus...
Yours sincerely,
Sam
