Freshwater Aquarium keeping in the UAE Discus.ae (aka Discus Fish Trading) was founded in 2015 by Hamad Al Suwaidi, an animal enthusiast and local art director who developed a connection with the world-renowned Stendker hatchery in Germany to transport their exclusive specimens to the UAE - what started out as a private collection of the first ever German discus imported into the region has grown to become the very first specialist freshwater and aquatic design store in the Middle East.
