King’s Discus

This place is really the only show in town for me. I’m a discus lover and they really bring in top quality fish, comparable to those I’ve seen in Tokyo, Singapore and Bangkok. Some of their fish have show-​quality confirmation, and i have not seen any signs of disease in the fish I have purchased. I have had several for four years, going strong. Prices are very good. The folks who run the place are helpful and pleasant. I drive 55 miles into Seattle to get to this shop, and the parking is difficult. But I keep doing it. It well deserves five stars.

This place has gone down hill since Michael left. We usually stop by when in the neighborhood, don’t think we will be back. The amount of dead fish spinning around in tanks was very sad to see. The lady…“working”… just sat at the register playing on her cell phone. Lots of the tanks need a good cleaning especially the ones with all the dead fish in them, water quality has sadly been disregarded for some time.

I really want to like this store. However, the last time I bought fish and plants $ 60 worth, I also brought back ick, and it killed all but three of my fish.: (

Nothing particularly bad about this place, just not what I was liking for. I want a fish that can live alone in a medium/​small aquaponics setup. This place has some nice, expensive fish. If you want to find interesting fish for a large aquarium, this is the place to go. If you are just getting started, maybe try somewhere else.

I really liked this fish store, only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the selection of fish is limited. I thought their prices were fair and the tanks were clean. I would buy from them again. If you are looking for flower horns, discus or giant gouramis, this is the place to go.

Horrible. last time I went in the only saltwater tank they had was infested with majono’s or how ever they are spelled. Plus ask a question and see if they are capable of answering it correctly. tried to sell me a torch coral telling me it was a bubble tip anemone. I guess if all you have is a freshwater than this place is alright but there salt water is horrible and so is their knowledge on saltwater

One of 3 fish stores in Chinatown. Three, why are there 3 concentrated in one district? Well, whatever it is, it’s good for me as I can park once and walk to 3 places on the same day.
Of the 3, this is the cleanest and best kept. Lots of fish here in large well lit and clean tanks. Not a dead fish did I see. Seems a family affair as husband and wife were tottering around answering customer questions and there was at least one little tot wandering around, a real life Mom and Pop shop. Prices were fair, a good selection of fish.

Only fish, and it smelled bad, I can take awful smells, but it smelled like rotten fish and algae. No one around to help.

Pretty cool atmosphere to be in… of course most of the times I just come in here to look around but the owner is always willing to answer questions and help out customers.

I have been shopping at King Discus for about a year and a half now, and I have NEVER been dissapointed.
Kevin and his family are charming as well as knowledgeable and helpful. The prices at King Discus are very reasonable, sometime almost too good. The selection of items, like filters and medicine, are excellent, although if you want something very specific call them ahead of time.
The biggest seller for me, however, is how well he takes care of his fish. You are always going to have the inevitable couple of fish who will just not do well, but what I’ve noticed about Kevin that I truly respect is that if he get’s a couple of sick fish, he quick to act to isolate them and treat them as well as protect any of their shipping/​tank mates. What’s more, he is constantly cleaning tanks, working on projects, cleaning the place, making sure the pH balance and everything is in order and healthy… he is constantly looking out for the welfare of his fish. I have never been to a fish store as well kept, healthy, and alive as his. It really is wonderful.
None of the fish I’ve ever bought from Kevin have been ill or in poor condition, they’re all healthy and happy.
King Discus is excellent, I highly recommend them to everyone who needs fish supplies. Check ‘em out.

So I know nothing about fish, tanks, aquariums, or plastic treasure chest décor. I needed to buy some activated charcoal in order to keep the moisture in terrariums from going rank.
If you’re like me, you’re always eager to stroll into and experience a business in the International District, but maybe, just maybe, you’re a wee bit intimidated by the ID-​ness of it all. Will I know what in the hell to do when I walk into a crowded little specialty shop that’s likely run by an ancient, but knowledgeable Asian man? (Don’t judge me!)
The owner was eating lunch when we walked in, but he quickly, kindly, happily helped us with our easy purchase. We walked away very happy. Plus they have all kinds of cool things to gawk out, fishly speaking.
Forever and ever, they shall fill my activated charcoal needs!

This is a fun place to stroll through. They have some good prices and many cool cichlids from the Far East. They’ve been playing the same ambient track on the stereo every time I’ve been in here and I look forward to it. The people who run the store are knowledgeable. Worth checking out.

General awesomeness. I got a heart parrot cichlid here and he is cute and very healthy. The owner is very friendly and knows everything about fish. We go all the time and he knows us well. The only complaint I have is the lack of selection on supplies, but he does have most things you would need. We get all our bloodworms there, and most treatments as they are needed. Good prices I think too.

My best friend swear by this place, since it’s really good with fish and supples for major fish afficianados. Of course, that’s not all they carry since they have an expansive array of amphibians and reptiles as well [which are my favorite!]
