I did contact the Discus chap l knew,in fact l looked after his fish house once, sadly ill health has meant he no longer has one ,he sold up. The Wild Discus he recalls were from a source he either got off the Internet or from the Discus forums, he said the importer was a Polish chap who imported from the Rio Nanay, Didn't say what they cost but said they were a lot cheaper than the aquarium shops

Just Discus...?? For Wilds

Also, try asking your LFS to check their with American import lists because they should have no problems bringing those in
