Gabe was a pleasure to do business with. I can only imagine how many emails he gets each day yet he found the time to reply and answer all my questions. I ordered a large number of Cardinal Tetras that I believe may have been mishandled by the courier, they were certainly not sick fish. The vast majority made it and Gabe provided credit for all the losses even though the cause was out of his control. I cant ask for more than that. He has earned my future orders for Discus, food etc.... Thank you Gabe for all your help as well as your whole staff for providing such beautiful fish to folks all over the world. I look forward to ordering my Discus from you in a few weeks.God BlessKevin L.I just received another order from Gabe at Jack Wattley. The fish were packed in a professional manner using very high quality materials. This reduced the stress on these Discus and they came out of the bags in amazing color. He has earned my future orders for quality Discus.Thanks Gabe!!!Kevin L.

Jack Wattley Discus is an amazing facility!I bought 3 discus and 20 neon tetras. The prices are great and quality of the fish are second to none. I would recommend going to check out the facility it’s quiet the experience. Gabe the owner is extremely knowledgeable and went through and hand picked my fish. The sizes range from 2 inch to 8 inch and he even has amazing XL wild caught.He has a large selection of plants and unique drift wood, plus really great deals on tetras. Hands down best facility I’ve ever been to!

All 6 of the discus I ordered arrived alive and healthy, the fish were packed as promised and 3 of the fish were in my opinion larger than the size ordered. I ordered 3 fine line red pandas and 3 blue diamond and all 6 fish look great. I highly recommend the drip acclimation method described in video on their website as I had no issues transferring them to my tank.

I ordered 30 Altums from them, they packed 7-10 fish in same a bag. All arrived alive but two of them has fungus, like did they even check your fish before you shipped? Then 16 of them died a few days after because of bacteria infection. I contacted them, show them the video/photo of the rest dying, they did nothing but told me to buy medicine from them, they can ship next day with $23 charge. Wattley really disappointed me, really sad.

Great company to deal with. Prompt service and fair prices. My fish came in triple bagged and healthy. Plenty of air in the bag and boxed nicely in a double box. Will definitely purchase from Wattley Discus again in the future. Thanks again Gabe

First time going to the hatchery and purchasing fish. My experience was optimal from start to finish. All fish looked happy and healthy. Gabe the owner took time with me and really took an interest in me and what I actually was looking to accomplish in my aquarium. I bought a nice amount of fish which today are thriving in my tank. I will keep going and supporting the hatchery. Don’t let the name of the hatchery mislead you, Gabe has more than just show quality discus but autumn angels, different schooling fish, earth eaters etc. amazing displays of driftwood. Can’t wait to go again!Thanks Gabe!RegardsFernando

Second time ordering and by far the best discus you can get. I’ve also gotten food and tetras from them and all top quality. Stay away from wholesalers and scammers, this is the place to go for high quality fish and products packed and delivered with care.I’m gonna need more tanks soon. Waiting for those red snakeskin to be back in stock.Thanks againWill

Super nice staff that helped me with all my questions! Discus are beautiful and healthy. Shipping was super fast, fish arrived less than 2 days after I placed my order. They have a wide variety of discus at a good price. Definitely will be doing more business with them soon.

My experience with Jack Wattley Discus was exceptionally good. I live in Brooklyn, and was ordering too quality fish for the tanks at home; 6 Geophagus, 2 Plecos and a group of 10+ angels. The fish arrived looking beautiful. The angels however did not ship well and we had a few losses because of the challenges of shopping in a high traffic area in zone 5. Throughout the process, Gabriel Posada was actively involved. He responded quickly and resolved the issue about as fast as could be imagined. I now have a tank full of beautiful healthy Altum Angels. Although I was stressed over the losses I have to say that Wattley Discus really did an extraordinary job. I am grateful for their time and effort. I couldn’t imagine ordering fish online could be a better experience. Thank you guys!

I purchased 50 cardinal tetras online from Jack Wattley Discus. The price was decent and the shipping went smoothly. I chose to have them shipped to my door, rather than to the airport, and I did receive them next day and very early. As soon as I got the notice saying they had been delivered I left work to get them acclimated and in their quarantine tank. The fish were double bagged and split up into two groups - two bags total in a styrofoam cooler inside of the shipping box. There was no heat packs, but I dont think it necessary with the current climate. The packing slip indicated that 10 extra were shipped, so 60 total. The fish, however, did not look good. There were three dead in one bag and two in the other. Most seemed to have sunken stomachs and all were very pale in color. A handful of them were paper thin. I acclimated according to the video on the Wattley Discus website. I then dipped them out and placed them into quarantine - a fully cycled 20 gallon aquarium with sponge filter and heater set at 82 degrees. Due to the small water volume I performed a 50% - 75% water change every day and fed once a day. I have lost fish every day since receiving them. Some days only one or two, some days five or six, one day a staggering fourteen fish died. Its been sixteen days since I received my order and I lost 53 of the 60 shipped. Im sure more will be dead when I get home from work today. I did let Mr. Posada know and he said that the fish were part of a large batch that he had quarantined for two months. I dont know. I just know I got a batch of sick fish, and Im very glad I didnt put them in with anything else. I did try metro as well and it didnt help anything. I would say if you are close to Wattley Discus, go there and see what they have, but be cautious about ordering unless you can maybe get a video or something of the fish they will be sending.

I had a wonderful experience purchasing my first Discus from Gabe Posada at Jack Wattley Discus. I have had several fresh water tanks but never Discus. First, I collaborated with my local freshwater fish store to set up and cycle a Discus tank. I watched all of Gabe’s videos and some other trusted experts.When the water was adequately cycled, tested, holding a steady temp, and had some sturdy blue Danios and a Pleco living well, it was time to order Discus. I requested 4 Discus from Jack Wattley Discus on-line on a Sunday morning and they arrived at the airport Tuesday evening. When I called the hatchery on Monday, wondering which day the fish would arrive by plane, Gabe answered the phone in person. He was up to his elbows in water, bagging fish, but set things down to check my order. He later texted me himself with a copy of the airbill and shipment #. Because he communicated with me directly, I was able to let him know that the fish arrived safely, feisty and up and swimming right after acclimation. 24 hours later, most of them were eating. Very personable and personalized service. Additionally, I requested fish in the three inch range but they were all a bit larger on arrival, plump and in excellent health despite the shipping stress. The color on the red melon and red map panda are just simply stunning. I was very impressed with Gabe, the fish and the service. I immediately ordered again—two kinds of food and some wormer ‘just in case’, and was able to communicate with Gabe directly about black worms being available in three months time.It was a pleasure working with this business. My only regret is only being able to stock one 60 gal tank! I’m sure I will be back for more Discus. Maybe a solid Red or a never pepper panda. Those reds are amazing even in the young fish. Very happy customer!

So far a truly amazing experience ordering the new members of my pet family. I’ve been researching Discus for a while and started following your YouTube videos for advise. (Thank you Gabriel P.)After weeks of researching and preparation I decided to order yesterday and am amazed that they are already on their way. (My local fish stores are not a help as they say they are extremely delicate and hard to care for). I’ve prepared my quarantine/grow out tank and am moving my work desk to my fish room so that I can stay on top of their care and watch them grow. You guys are my new go-to pet fish store for ordering supplies and additional fish as you have made this experience that much more exciting and given me the confidence to keep them. Thanks for your dedication not only to the fish and hobby but to us new Discus fish keepers who want to enjoy raising them.Sincerely,Sheila E. from NJ

This is a company that you can order from with confidence. Ive just received my second order and cant say enough about their attention to detail. Ive ordered a total of 6 discus, a number of rams and a snowball plecko. All arrived healthy and beautiful. They ship the fish triple bagged with the top stapled for safety and over packed in a Styrofoam cooler. I had them shipped to my local airport and the pick up was simple and easy. Gabe is without a doubt a pleasure to work with and a wealth of knowledge.

We ordered a 5-6 Red Ninja Cuipea Alenquer Cross Discus for $275 and it came sick! We also ordered a Black & Blue Discus along with several other fish. The Red Ninja and Black & Blue discus were both extremely sick when they arrived. We contacted Jack Wattley and were told that it was the stress from the shipment and they told us to buy some medication and treat them. We did and they still were not better after 3 weeks. They finally refunded our money and then Gabriel Posada said I hope to God both the Ninja and this one drop dead as soon as I issue a refund. We will never do business with Jack Wattley again!

Placed my order, the Discus arrived the next day safely! I’m very happy and will be ordering more Discus in the future from Jack Wattley!

Got the much needed metronidazole fast, coupled with Gabe’s instructional You Tube video. It saved my discus. Thanks.

I watched Jacks videos often and as a matter fact hes the only one I really trust and believe he knows discuss fish really well. Thank you and keep up the good work Jack.

I Ordered 10 Oto catfish for a clean up crew in a 30 gallon tank. They arrived healthy, well packaged and on time. I will look to them for future needs.Thank you Jack Wattley Discus.

Before buying my first discus I watched dozens of hours of videos. I discovered this wonderful company and even called at 4:58 pm and got an answer. We spoke for 15 minutes and wasn’t rushed off the phone. I ordered the discus and they were flown to the airport where I picked them up without issue, total time from shipment to my house was 7 hours, even with the Atlanta layover. Packing was great and the fish were slow dripped and are doing wonderfully. There’s one discus that’s just a weirdo and hides all day but that isn’t a breeder issue it’s a social function of the breed itself. I would buy again and I remain subscribed to their YouTube channel. Wonderful people.

My tetras arrived professionally packed and all very healthy. Thank you for the bonus fish! Great dealer!

Great fish! Wattleys is an institution in the tropical fish hobby. Thanks!

Second time buyer outstanding support and the most healthy beautiful fish! It takes a couple days for some of the discus to color up so dont worry! What you see is what you get! They have an outstanding amount of help videos on YouTube if you are new to keeping discus! Gabe is amazing!

Thank you 10 million times!!!!!!!!!!!! Gabe went WAY above and beyond to help me with my RO unit I bought. I called and asked if I paid to ship it back if he would look at it and get it going, nothing I tried worked. Well, it was hooked up backwards. And it was at least 2 months after the fact. I just hadnt had the opportunity to get it going with opening up a shop. It firing right away as we speak! This saves me so much time now!!! Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely phenomenal customer service to go along with their absolutely amazing quality in plants and fish I ordered two German black rams unfortunately UPS treated the box like a basketball and when the fish arrived the mail was swimming sideways I reached out to Watley discus and with in a day they replied to me and said they were shipping me a new one at no cost of course I provided them with the proper photos to go along with my claim but they were very friendly and understanding will definitely buy fish there and recommend everybody else does too awesome way to do business!!!Third order from them still as always great customer service and fish

Amazing place to get fish. The best place in Miami

Gabe is wonderful and a pleasure to work with.Very informative and an awesome resource!

Beautiful well kept fish will get all my fish and plants from here :)

Always greeted like a friend, one of my favorites places for fish and good company with the owner Gabe

There are lots of great reviews, so I was expecting to see some great fish but frankly I was just incredibly disappointed. I was expecting to get some great discus (like what you see on the website), but once inside the hot, cramped facility I found the following — low inventory, many dead fish in various tanks, no visible pricing, poor lighting, and no one spoke English. No sale. Sorry!

I recently bought 6 discus in Jack Wattley Discus and this is the best place to get those fancy fish, very professional people, they have a lot experience in the hobby. Im definitely going to buy more Discus in the future.

I would highly recommend purchasing Discus fish, tank mates and food from Jack Wattley Discus. They have healthy fish, fair market prices, excellent service, and a sincere passion for the hobby. I really appreciate that they ship. I could not purchase the same quality of fish locally. Thank you so very much to Gabriel Posada and the crew at Jack Wattley Discus.

They never send you any tracking information so you have no idea when your product ships or where its at. I guess live fish is the only time you will get tracking info. Waiting on another J.W order but no tracking or info sent about that order either. Hope he get it right this time.

I mean, what can I say? Absolute professionals who also like to toss a little extra in with your order. Fish are healthy and thriving.

Best discus Hatchery farm

Very helpful videos for those who are starting on Discus hobby...Thanks to Wattley Discus expert Gabe Posada...

Always great and fast servise, good people to do business with, thank you Klaus ..

I have ordered Discus twice from Jack Wattley Discus, and the fish arrive healthy and alert. It feels like Jack Wattley Discus is doing some sort of magic to ship fish from coast to coast and for them to arrive healthy and generally happy after the long travel. Thank you!

Great quality fish received yesterday. Extremely impressive smooth process from the website all the way to our door with delivery. We ordered 14 discus and a few other individuals and all were alive and well upon arrival. Thanks Gabe!

I have been very happy with my fish from Jack Wattley discus. I have ordered tetras, rasboras,altum angels as well as discus and plants. High quality and very helpful. 5 stars

Gabriel is an excellent fish breeder with beautiful results seen in his tanks.

If you are looking for quality and beautiful Discus fish differently go to Jack Wattley.

Im in the process of cycling a 6.5 gallon Aquino rimless planted tank for a Betta and probably some bright Neocaridinias at a later time, and planning ambitious paludarium builds for 40G and 75G tanks Ive already picked up. Were talking high-tech planted tanks with EI fert dosing, Finnex Planted+ 24/7 HLC fixtures, pressurized CO2 both into the water column and the air of the terrestrial parts of the tanks, rare plants, a GFP leucistic axolotl (the 75G will also have a blacklight, poison dart frogs, etc.Needless to say, Im going to need supplies.After doing some research online, I came across Jack and decided to come in for some dragon stone. It was $1-2 a pound cheaper than the online vendors, I didnt have to pay shipping, and I got to actually see the stones and select them myself.Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. I couldnt resist the excellent selection of vibrant, healthy aquatic plants, so I ended up getting a few of those too. When I asked the guy helping me if the duckweed in one of their impressive display tanks was for sale he said, no, Ill just give you some of it. He didnt have to do that. Its those little extra efforts that turn a customer into a repeat customer.I will definitely be back. I didnt see even one fish that was dead, sick, or injured. It was obvious that these folks take really good care of their fish. The prices were much lower than what I’d expect to pay, particularly considering the phenomenal quality and selection of their stock.Keep up the stellar work, guys.

Ordered 9 expensive discus, none of them matched picture that was on line, 3 came in sick! Were disappointed !!!

Best wholesale place so far

The best place to go, customer service is amazing, high quality fishes and food for Discus and variety of fishes that they offer. Thanks to this place I have a half of happiness on my house.

The quality discus and superior customer service make Wattley Discus a highly recommended option for the discus hobbyist. I have seven beautiful discus, and Gabe has been instrumental in offering outstanding support before, during and after the sale. He ensures a positive experience with every transaction. I am one happy, repeat customer!

Excellent place to deliver. Nice people

So i didn’t personally talk to Gabe my boyfriend Ryan did and he’s been communicating with Gabe since we decided to start a journey with discus. We just recently purchased 6 discus and i am extremely impressed. One of the fish is acting a little weird but based on experience with all of our other discus tanks these fish are not shy and ready to eat. I’m sure if Any problems with the fish arise that Gabe will answer all of our questions and help us through the process. Excellent customer service excellent shipping excellent price! We now have a little piece of Miami in our Colorado home. Thank you very much

I’ve been a customer of Gabes for a couple years he always takes good care of his customers

Best descus period, well worth the money and experience. Come down see for your self

Gabriel is awesome! Always there to answer any questions, fish were excellent! Thank you!Crystal

If you want healthy and beautiful discuss this is the place

Such great customer service! Love you guys! Keep up the great work!! The plecos are gorgeous!!

The place is great I love it.

Ordered 10ALTUM angel fish Thursday morning pick them up from the airport Friday morning. Very good experience. Gabe was very helpful and willing to answer all my questions Before & After arrival of the fish. Will definitely recommend Jack Wattley Discus and Gabe to anyone ordering discus or ALTUM angels. We can definitely use more people like Gabe in the Tropical fish Industry. A+ Experience. Thanks Gabe.

How soon can I expect my delivery?

Gabe is a great guy who knows a ton about fish and discus specially. Highly recommended if you are an aquarist and want to have discus.

Purchased three Discus so far and all three have our exceeded our expectations. Customer service was excellent thanks again

I have recently purchased 3 wild discus. After several phone calls with Gabe, I was moved by Gabes patience, knowledge and the capability of providing me with excellent customer service. This is my first time buying wild discus online without personally picking the fish and Gabe did a fantastic job in choosing the fish for me. After me receiving the fish, he also did several followups. I really appreciate his time and service and hope he can continue bringing us these stunning wilds.

I am very pleased i love my fish very healthy thank you guys

Super friendly staff with alot of knowledge!

Gabe is awesome to deal with and they have some of the best discus in the industry. Will keep coming back for more.

Do you ship to south africa

Great shop. Great people

Gabriel is awesome! I had a sad fish delivery death situation, and Gabriel helped me out right away. Now I have a beautiful stripped red panda in my tank. My kids named him Gabe.

After buying from those cheap sites and Jack whatley I am a committed customer. You can see the differance in (discount discus ) and high quality just like anything else .

My name is jose Luis Traves and they are amazing people and well respected and knowledgeable

Gabe and company have always been full of info and professionalism and if by some very slim chance they cant give you the answer theyll track it down for ya .

Bought two discus and one was DOA unfortunately but it happens...Gabriel helped me out and credited back the dead fish. The fish that made it is beautiful. Great fish, responsive service, and phenomenal business acumen. Will absolutely buy more discus from Jack Wattley and reccomend to everyone.

Nice person, patient, willing to help you always, apart from being very busy, always attends, with the greatest willingness, quality or talk, Gaby has the best.

I just received six beautiful and healthy blue Discus. They are eating like there is no tomorrow and not shy at all around people. Very satisfied!

Really nice people

As always best place to get A+ discus

Gabe Posada genuinely cares and wants you to enjoy your Discus fish, even after you buy them from him. Many times I have called him with all sorts of questions, and he is always pleasant and helpful no matter what day it is. He is truly passionate about anything to do with Discus. Just the BEST customer service. When shipped, they come healthy, colorful, with bright eyes and usually all ready to eat. The bags are multi-layered and the box is professionally packed and there was no poop in any of my bags to pollute the fish. I love the fact that they fly non-stop next day air in the cargo hold of a jet plane and from there, it is super easy to pick them up from a location down the street from the actual airport. Thats the best plan yet. The fish dont have to be tossed around in the box, then wait around at a post office, which Im sure is very stressful for them.. And did I mention, his fish are very beautiful and healthy. >5 stars!!!

Great selection in fresh water fish Discus.One of the best places in fresh water fish in Miami . Great service for all the staff working there, en especial from Gabriel .High recommend. 100 % Positive feedback.

Gabe has been great to work with he answers alot of question I have had and has sent me better quality fish than I have expected I will order again from his and he is my only choice for discus

Wow! I was afraid of ordering fish online, I’m the kind of buyer who likes to choose his favorite pleco, so when we started a Discus tank I was sure I would find local sellers I liked; but they were few and far between. Found Wattley since they were close, and finally broke down and called. The guy (Gabe?) on the other line put me at ease with the process and I ordered two fish and a snowflake pleco. They arrived the next business day and WOW I couldn’t be more impressed. Perfect instructions; AND THEY INCLUDE FULL BOTTLES OF CHEMICALS TO HELP ENSURE HEALTH of their fish. Not to mention how beautiful these strains were at amazing prices. I chose smaller cheaper discus for my first order and they’re prettier than what the local stores sell for more than double. Arrived next day and all fish are not only alive and happy but the stars of the tank. Gorgeous. Will buy from again ASAP!

Amazing place, it was awesome to see those beatifull fishes in real life!!!!... I bought 3 discus, two Rams and one pleco and I can not wait to my next visit. i was attended personally by Gabriel, great customer service

Very knowledgeable people and let u know stuff in advance before u buy and be disappointed. Love the first time visit defianlly coming back

Awesome place for fish. Gabe is a really great guy and the selection of discus that they have along with altum angel fish and other accompanying fish is pretty good.

Drove down from Fort Lauderdale to checkout the store this morning. Met the owner and he’s really friendly and helpful. They have an amazing variety of discus fish, I was really impressed. They also carry other freshwater fish that could go with discus. I ended up buying 20 cardinal tetras and 2 small discus to add to my 120 G tank. Discus are doing great so far. They started eating a few hours after they were introduced into the tank. Unfortunately, found 3 dead cardinals as I got home and lost 3 others within the first hour of introducing to the tank. The rest are doing amazing ! Despite the losses, I’d drive down to get more discus in the future.

I am extremely impressed with the Iripixi Wild discus I received today from Wattley Discus. They are beautiful! Arrived in amazing packaging. Even with our winter conditions they were nice and warm with the heat packs. Active right from the start. Was surprised at how colorful and big they are.Gabe Posada is very knowledgeable and has excellent customer service. Took good care of me and I can see he really cares for his Discus and this shows when you see how healthy and beautiful the discus are. Store has great selection and you get healthy fish.I will be back for more fish this year. I highly recommend Wattley Discus. Great job Gabe and thank you for beautiful and healthy Wilds discus.

Phenomenon customer service, everyone is friendly and shares their knowledge about fish. Also a great selection of fish ya wont find at PetCo and multitude of live plants. Obviously theres also Discus! Some aquascaping materials as well. Entrance is a bit tricky but definently worth going by at least a few times!

Amazing fish

Absolutely the most beautiful and well kept discuss Ive ever seen. I will never get discus from anywhere else! The selection is beyond belief

Very helpful in setting up my aquarium. Bought several small fish. They said I could call any time if I had questions.

The most beautiful discus Gabe raises with strong bloodlines! People who aren’t lucky enough to live close enough to his place in Miami are still lucky enough to order online!!!

Very friendly place

Best discus in south florida

Wonderful fish and very friendly people. Top scores!

Terrible customer service, questioned their excessively high shipping charges and was told, and I quote, see ya. I dont trust any company that marks up their shipping to show you low fish prices and then makes money off you during checkout with double everyone elses shipping rates. Shop with these people at your own risk, especially if you have a problem, you may get your very own see ya

Courteous service, excellent prices,healthy fish

Gabe is the most helpful guy with the discus and will always do what he can to help you. I wouldnt go anywhere else to get fish! All of his tanks hold high caliber discus that are healthy and beautiful.

Awesome place for Discus!

Beautiful discuss and the owner helps if you have and questions.

Great service and beautiful fish/plants

Awesome Place and great costumer service, amazing place to educate yourself

The best. If you are investing in discus calling Gabe is a must. Friendly and knowledgeable. You do not find that in the business anymore.

If you want excellent Discus fish, beautiful aquarium plants and all your Discus questions answered then this is truly your one stop hatchery/aquarium store. Gabe is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help you in every step of the way. Passion is the driving force in this business.Highly pleased with my experience.

First time customer, now a lifetime customer.
