Books About Discus

Books About Discus

It surprises me that Disucs fish are not more popular than they are. There is a plethora of information on them, they are not hard to raise, and are considered the "king of the aquarium."

To see my breeder reach his nad into the water and have an 8" Leopardskin Disucs come and feed from his hand is one of the greatest sights in the world.

Here, on About.com, are a list of books relevant to the subject. It behooves one to check them out if interested even remotely in raising this wonderful fisn.

Caring for your discus fish

I am not exactly sure if this information is relevant enough, but there are good guidelines here. The webmaster claims that Discus are easy to care for, and that gives me pause...

Breeding Discus

Breeding Discus
I read a comment on the blog by this fella, commenting on the technique of removing fry from the mouth of a cichlid fish designated as a mouth breeder. I visited his site, and find it worthwhile.
Haven't been to the site in a while. We have moved into our new brick & mortar in Charlotte, MI, and are setting up biz.
The discus are doing well, and pairing off. We hope to have some fry soon!
I need to get with the program and begin to post to this blog more often. Thinkgs have been so darn crazy that I have a hard time keeping up. Hope to change that soon...

Peace,
