This store IS NOT your normal LFS! His fish look GREAT from Hans! There is another one by my house (name left unsaid) that sells fish that are not up to par with Azalea but I like the people.... So I go there a lot as well... but for Discus Azalea is almost as good as getting them directly from Hans!
They can buy them at 3" and grow them out almost as good as Hans... Also they once had one of Hans' award winning fish for a while... (later sold for an ungodly price)
