If you order from reputable dealers you wont have that problem.

Rick from Canadian aqua farm is a very reputable dealer with WYSIWYG fish. Even if you are unsure he goes above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Unfortunately, problems do happen even with reputable breeders.

I would much rather look at the fish, see how it interacts with others and how aggressively it attacks the food.

Even at buying 2-3 inch fish, the size that all of mine are, there are still many things that can be avoided if you watch the fish interact, imho.

Yes that is very true. Bad stuff can happen with anyone you buy fish from.

Rick puts up videos of his discus tanks. Several minutes on each tank so you can see the fish swimming, eating and interacting vs only in pictures.

There is more that can happen with 2-3 inch fish than just interacting that will stunt growth and shape. At this stage in their lives water quality and food quality plays the biggest role.

I will consider going in on this order as I too am in lethbridge. I will do some research into the supplier and his stock.
