About Golden State Discus

Golden State Discus is a family-owned business fueled by a deep passion for the aquarium hobby. Founded by Doug Warner, a lifelong fish-keeping enthusiast with a particular love for Discus, Golden State Discus represents a return to Doug's roots. Alongside his wife, Lynda, Doug transitioned from a successful career in other industries to establish Aqua Life Aquarium in 1990. This venture quickly became a cornerstone of the aquarium hobby industry in Sacramento and Northern California, offering specialized freshwater and saltwater livestock, equipment, and comprehensive aquarium and pond services.

With Aqua Life Aquarium thriving, Doug and Lynda decided to embark on a new journey, focusing on what initially sparked Doug's interest in the aquarium hobby: Discus fish. Their search for a reliable, high-quality Discus supplier led them to Chris at Na Discus of Malaysia. After several unsuccessful attempts with other companies, this partnership marked a turning point for Golden State Discus. Today, they are proud to be the exclusive U.S. supplier of these exceptional Discus fish, delivering healthy, top-quality products consistently and on time.

FAQs

How will my Discus be shipped?

 Your discus will be shipped by UPS Next Day Air, or you can request airport-to-airport shipping via Southwest Air Cargo. All fish are individually bagged four times with oxygen, and then all bags are wrapped in a catch-all bag to keep them tight and secure. Heat packs are used to keep your discus warm during transit. We also use styrofoam-lined boxes to ensure the most secure trip possible.

Are my Discus guaranteed?

 At Golden State Discus, we work hard to ensure that you receive live, healthy fish. We guarantee that your fish will be delivered alive and healthy. If you receive a dead-on-arrival fish, do not worry; you will receive a full refund on the fish minus shipping charges, given that the policy requirements are met. In order to receive a refund or credit, you MUST take a picture or video of the unboxing and the dead fish. Send an email containing the video/picture to us at info@goldenstatediscus.com. The email must be sent within TWO HOURS of receiving your fish. You also MUST send us an email within two hours of receiving your package at info@goldenstatediscus.com to inform us of the issue. In order to receive the live arrival guarantee, you must be home to receive your fish! Packages that miss their first delivery attempt will not be covered under the live arrival guarantee.

What type of quarantine process do you use?

 Prior to being shipped from Malaysia, the fish undergo a quarantine process. Once they arrive in the USA, we take the fish directly to our facility and start our own quarantine process. After the quarantine process at our facility is complete, we inspect each fish individually to ensure that all fish look amazing and are 100% healthy. Our main goal at Golden State Discus is to ensure that we are only selling the highest quality discus in the USA.

What can I do to prepare my tank for my order? 

In order to ensure the best possible environment for your new arrivals, it is best to do a large water change (25%-50%) to remove as much organic matter in the tank as possible. Our discus are kept in pristine water with 0 nitrates, and it’s best to try and mimic that to the best of your ability.

Should I quarantine my fish?

 It is highly recommended that you quarantine all new arrivals before placing them into your display tank. The shipping process can place stress on fish, so it is best to have a period of time to observe the fish before they are moved into your main display. A typical quarantine system consists of a 20 to 30-gallon aquarium, cycled bio-active sponge filter, air stone, air pump, heater, and some type of screen or top for the tank. Quarantine tanks require daily 90%-100% water changes in order to keep a proper level of cleanliness. The quarantine tank does best in a quiet room with ambient lighting, preferably insulated and free of drafts.
