joe seems to be the gold medal man with the discus. joe and his famous Discus. Tank he used to be 80gJoe, and now he is 125gJoe. What if anything, were you before joe? What is your future name and volume? Joe is a celebrity. We should have an honorary day to celebrate the Joe and his gallons of aquatics.
hip hip horay! 3x.

If someones' Discus just sits there all day, they aren't providing a good home for them. Or, they bought sick Discus...

There's tons of info on these fish that many call --- Kings of Aquariums ---
One website that specializes in them is www.simplydiscus.com

There are a few "loose cannon" fanatics there, so be ready and thick-skinned for severe criticism. Overlooking those types, the info is really good and thorough.

That's not the only good website that has Discus the spotlight, there are many others and lots of good personal websites..

Thanks forsure! :D

By the way, there are some excellent German Discus breeders. I've seen some of their websites but can't read German.


Here's a recent pic of one of my eight Discus...

What's the deals with Hans? It seems that most of his posts seem to be putting down different kinds of fish. This is at least the 4th post of this kind.

For me Discus are a serene, stately fish that only add to the overall relaxing effect of my planted tank. That they are breathtakingly gorgeous just adds to the equation- living art IMO.

They are not the best personalitied fish I have- the Goldfish rule in that respect. But in the "grace with beauty" department they win hands down.
