Discus Health is supposed to be good.
There's another one "Penang Discus" thats excellent but hard to find. Several experienced people here have Discus Health and say its a good resource.

HI,

Theres alot of Good books on discus availible these days...

The one I have found most useful has been the Discus Health Book...Its not loaded with Pictures of the various strains or modern techniques being used, but I think it is still one of the best resources out there for a basic understanding of Discus Husbandry, diseases, and treatments.

I also like MayLand's Adventures with Discus ...It gives a good glimpse at where our Discus come from in the wild. Its easy reading.

Good luck,
al

Andrew Soh has explained the things in a great detail .. however the book might get boring for a beginner and he just might lose interest in reading the book .. Otherwise the book is a boon for aquarists with basic knowledge bout discus.

:D Hi, Ryan, (D'karc)@ Orlando Discus has Andrew Soh's book, Discus the Naked Truth. You can email him: OrlandoDiscus@gmail.com (OrlandoDiscus@gmail.com) or send him an IM... also the book on Discus Health by Untergasser is excellent for a novice, .. HTH, Dottie

I agree with Al. Discus health by Dieter Untergasser and Adventures with Discus by Hans Mayland are two of the better books on discus.
