Our Story
About Kiss My Discus
We're not a pet store. We're discus obsessives who turned a basement fish room into a full-blown passion project.
How It Started
It started with three wild crawfish. My four-year-old son came home from a creek walk with his mom and grandmother, hands full and eyes wide, determined to keep them alive. One trip to the pet store later, we had our first aquarium. Those crawfish were endlessly fascinating — rowdy tankmates who rearranged the decor daily and kept us on our toes — but eventually we released them back to the creek where they belonged.
Over the next year and a half we upgraded from that first tank to a 29-gallon, and then to where we are now: a Waterbox FLED60 with a Fluval 407 running six stunning discus. Our love for this fish grew fast — we're already planning a 250–300 gallon main display and setting up a breeding operation. As for the name? One day we were talking about how much we love discus and my son, now six years old, just said it. Kiss My Discus. It stuck immediately, and honestly, we couldn't have come up with anything better.
What We Stand For
Four principles that drive everything we do.
Keeper-First
We built this for the keeper, not the casual buyer. Everything we do is designed to help you succeed with discus long-term.
No Shortcuts
Proper water chemistry, quality food, and patience. We don't cut corners in our fish room and we won't tell you to either.
Live Arrival Guarantee
Every live fish ships with our full live arrival guarantee. If it doesn't arrive healthy, we make it right. No questions asked.
Community Driven
Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @kissmydiscus. We share what's happening in the fish room — the wins and the losses.
Inside the Fish Room
Our facility runs multiple dedicated breeding and grow-out tanks, all maintained with RO water, consistent temperatures between 82–86°F, and daily water changes. Every fish is conditioned on our KMD Beef Heart Mix before it ships. We don't rush the process.
