"I've dealt with Al many times over the last few years and I have never
dealt with anyone in the discus community who is more ethical, sincere,
knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to anything regarding discus.
Al has been a mentor of mine and I'm so grateful to have known this
"very caring person" over these years. Whether you're buying discus
from Al or just needs his expert advice; you truly cannot go wrong
working with THE MAN."
-Kenny Cheung (Kenny's Discus),California
"I am pleased to extend and share my experience with Al Sabetta. I feel
very fortunate to be under Al's able guidance ever since I started this
hobby of keeping discus. Amongst the many talents the few that have
been an highlight for me are his knowledge, the desire to help and the
ability to offer attention to detail.
It needs a special mention the depth of knowledge Al posseses in any
scenario it may be to come up with a "game plan" to control the
situation, is outstanding. I have made "many" (literally) phone calls
to Al in dire situations to help me with the "mishaps" I made with the
fish.
I bought my first ever discus "school" from Al and would, without a
slightest hesitation, do that again. I also regularly purchase
beefheart mix from the man himself. Its feeding to the fish is like
offering fish "a new life".
I have to say this - I am blessed and truely honored to have made a friend, a guide and a mentor via this hobby - Al Sabetta"

"I have placed orders with
Al several times including orders for beefheart, angelfish, domestic
discus, wild discus, plecos and rams. I have been exceptionally pleased
every time! The fish were always very healthy, packed well, and shipped
on time. The beefheart is a great value considering the content and the
way it is ground. The particle size is just the right size for the fish
to eat, but not too small to cloud the water. Al has a couple different
versions of beefheart. My favorite has become the “breeding type” which
includes additives such as shrimp, scallops, krill, and plankton.
Al is a first class person to do business with and a great friend. I truly cannot say enough good things about Al."
-Ardan Huck, Wisconsin
"All of the fish I currently own have come from Al. They have always
been top notch stock. I have raised numerous fish I aquired from Al and
all have reached thier full potential and some have eventually become
breeding stock. He gladly answered any questions that arose from the
time I recieved them till the time some of them ultimately found a new
home. He is the most dedicated person I have met in regards to raising
Discus and the well being of his fish. Recently I had moved to a new
house and had room for more tanks. Al took it upon himself to give me 2
breeding pair and 8 Blue Diamond juvies as a house warming gift! Thats
how dedicated to the expansion of this great hobby Al is! I will
without a dought purchase more fish from Al in the future as I aquire
more tanks!
The beefheart he makes I can only explain as
"exceptional" since I know he uses only the finest ingredients. I have
watched him make it! Usually if you buy fish from Al, there are always
fringe benifits that go along with it such as a lb of his beefheart at
no extra charge and the reassurance that no matter what problems may
arrise with your fish, Al will be there to help straighten it out."
