Your welcome Sandy.. i dont get my Discuss and Angels from a pet shop i have a local breeder here that breeds just these typs of fish... I love these guys we plan on doing a 200 with just discus and then a 100 with the koi's..... And yes Clico Is one name for hybrid Koi's these guys are true Koi's The breed start came right form Japan so the breed is tight and has never been crossed. If your interested Sandy. I can set you up with the Koi's if you like I sell Saltwater fish on online store but i can get a hold of the Angels if you like.. Let me know I think he has a new batch and some adults left from last season.. there very healthy and vibrant..

Hi Pearl.... I dont feed them much live mostly frozen Blood worms (there favorite) Brine shrimp (angels love them) but all in all the bloood worms... onece in awhile they will get live worms but they make the dicus hefty so i budget them some... So glad you like them they are beautiful fish to keep.. Part of the family
