King's Discus

About King's Discus

King's Discus is a small, specialty-focused shop that has moved from Seattle's Chinatown-International District to a standalone location off South 148th Street. As the name suggests, discus are the centerpiece, but the store is equally known among local hobbyists for flowerhorn cichlids, other rare cichlid varieties, and a betta selection reviewers rank among the best in the city. Stock is sourced directly from breeders and importers in South America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, and staff also breed some lines in-house rather than relying solely on outside suppliers. Customers describe the owner as approachable and generous with advice, and reviews consistently report healthy fish with low incidence of disease after purchase, though pricing is noted to vary more than at general aquarium shops given the rarity of some stock. For hobbyists chasing a specific discus strain or an unusual cichlid rather than routine community fish, it's cited repeatedly as the destination shop in the Seattle area.
