I have kept discus for a number of years. I have about 5 tanks currently. I have had as many as 10 running. I have grown babies out to 6 inches and had some fish live 6 years but have have had very limited sucess in breeding.
Earlier this summer Hans graciously allowed me to tour his facility. WOW!!! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. But then I had to leave. I really appreciated the tour. WOW. I only wish Hans would retail.
Years ago I visted Gwynnbrook on several occasions. It was also a great setup. I saw my first fully spotted (leopards?) at Gwynnbrook.
About 10 or 15 years ago there was a discus show and auction at the Hilton in Baltimore County. It must be time for another by now.
Hi! I'm Ken. I started back into tropical fish with Discus this past summer. I met Hans and his fish and I was hooked! I'm currently growing out 5 beautiful fish I purchased from Hans. They are doing well in a planted 55 gal community tank having grown from 2 1/2 inchers to 4 inchers. I hope to expand with some additional fish from Hans and it looks like I may end up with a "pair" from these original 5.
Hi... My name is Rich. I live in Waldorf, MD... maybe an hour or so south of Hans (lucky me!). I have had discus before, but I still consider myself a newbie, as I continue to learn a lot about them, seemingly daily. As I type this, I have an empty (but water-filled) 125 gallon in my basement right now, soon to be home to some of Hans awesome fish!
I am also a member of the Capital City Cichlid Association (hi, Pat!).

Hi there, I'm Steffi from Poolesville, MD. Started with discus in late 2009. Eventually my 200g river tank setup for hillstream loaches was converted into a planted discus tank. Currently have 2 breeding tanks, 3 grow-out tanks and my display tank running. Would love to have more tanks or a fish room but have no space....
hello, im walt from towson md. i am getting back into discus after a nice run with a reef tank. wanted to get back to my roots. :) the best part about discus and fresh water in general is free water changes! lots of mixing with a reef tank every week. feel a bit rusty but its been great fun. just one tank in basement. 75 planted discus with a few other amazon peaceful guys. growing out 6 mixed guys at the moment. almost baseball size. this place is great! walt.
Hi, I'm Jim. While I live near the MD/DE/PA border (the wedge) Im a member of GWAPA and travel throughout eastern MD monthly. Had discus on and off for about 10 years starting back in the early Marc Weiss years (early '90's?) currently keep a heavily planted 110 and a couple of 30's.
Cheers.
Jim
Wow, pretty quiet in the Old Line state! My name is Carl and I am working on setting up my first discus tank, a 120g 2*2*4 rimless. I am currently building the stand for it and it needs some more paint and then I will wrap it in oak!
I live in Bel Air up in Harford country.
Discuss beginner here in Annapolis, MD.
Anyone wanting to meet up for a cold one either here or in Baltimore, I'm game.
Also, very interested in finding local fish stores that are dedicated to the hobby and not just a place that has a "fish section" like PetsMart, Petco, Wal-Mart, etc.
Hello, I would like to let everyone know that there is a new discus group in the US. MADA is a group that has been discussed a lot and now moving forward with it. We are based in the Mid- Atlantic region of the US and just a bunch of discus keepers who wish to get together and talk/ share our experiences with other discus keepers over food/ drinks. By no means am I trying to take away from other local fish clubs but think it would be cool to have a group of people who are into Discus. We would work beside ALL clubs to help both of our clubs grow together and spread our passion for fish/ plants across the Mid Atlantic. This group would meet at different peoples houses across the area for our socials and meetings. If you are interested in joining or wish to know more please feel free to email us at midatlanticdiscus@gmail.com
hi am a discus beginner from College Park MD working on a 75g. Started with 10 stendkers this fall and ended up with just 5 right now due to an infection outbreak that I can't seem to track.
