    Hi!

    My name is Stan. I decided to get back into Discus after 15 years of being away. I've been growing fish since I was young. Have a nice collection of Koi. Decided to go back to Discus. I always admired them and grew them way back. Now with the different strains and colors. I wanted to give it another try. I grew them successfully but could not get them to breed. I bred them once and artificially raised the frys. I want to try again but see the actual parents raise them.

    Went out and got me a 60 acrylic set up. Running two sponge filter along with sump filter. Water at 84 degrees. Using my hard tap water to grow them.

    I found this forum and been reading and catching up on how to best raise these fish again.

    I jumped both feet in. Ordered and received my discus from Kenny's Discus today.

    I will post the discus on that thread.

    I look forward to learning and seeing how others grow and breed their discus.

    Thanks!
