    It's been a very long time but I remember DAAH and a forum that preceded that. The one before DAAH kinda melted down as forums sometimes do into a bunch of flaming posts, some dude called Kees with a bunch of pent-up rage. Gota forgive me, its been like 20 years. For a while both DAAH and Simply were going then DAAH kinda faded away (or I just stoped going there).

Once my wife and I got our first house to make that feasible then I could not find the old Forum but simplydiscus was the first thing that popped up and I have been a fan ever since. To keep in good spirits with my normal posts, I was probably drinking on a Friday night and stumbled upon it

    I found this place from "The king of DIY". From the presentation Al gave and that was posted online.

    I found it Via Youtube where Al Sabetta was giving a talk on Discus, a week later myself and my other half went and bought our very first Discus after months of research.

    Heard about it after watching Al's talk from one of Joey's YouTube videos. I thought SimplyDiscus sounded familiar and sure enough it was already in my browser history as many of the forum threads had invaluable information when I first started researching discus fish-keeping so I had to join and now that I have my own couple of discus tanks, I want to continue to learn more and connect with those that are like me with this uber fish-keeping obsession.

    Ok, you have learned a hard lesson. No consolation but better on 2 discus versus 10!

    I am taking a guess but I don't think anyone on this forum has not learned something about keeping discus "the hard way." I know I have not. What I would suggest is what Liz suggested - fill out a sickness questionnaire and get some feedback. It may come with some more hard lessons or it could save your fish. Continue to read the beginners forum (especially the stickies). You will find some differing opinions but you will also find a lot of consensus.

    Welcome to keeping discus! Don't give up. Lessons learned early will save a lot of heartache later.

    [Edited] Sorry, I just saw that you did post a sickness questionnaire.

    the first time i heard about this forum was a few years back when joey mullens posted al sabetta's talk to his youtube channel.

    i've lurked here for a long time, came here to get good advice on fishkeeping but never really felt compelled to join and engage in the discussion because i don't keep nor have i ever kept discus (i know...). but hear me out, i feel as though discus keepers are among the best people to learn from when it comes to keeping any fish, not just discus.

    i had to scale back my hobby following hurricane florence (i live on the nc coast) but i'm looking to ramp it back up in the spring and what better way than to consider getting some discus. so i'm just getting my account here setup in case i need it lol.

    hi all!

    I was performing a search on the internet for the now defunct Discus Study Group around 2003..... came upon DAAH.com first (Discus as a hobby, the old Jim Quarles site)… and quickly saw a reference to SimplyDiscus.com . I really liked the BrewMaster's style and the participants on Simply were much kinder than those on the other site, so I frequented here.

    hi all!
    So true what you say regarding discus keeping helping us keep other fish. I’ve applied things I’ve learned here to my other fish with great results. Welcome and I’m glad you are okay after Florence. I live in in Florida and know all about being in the cone!
    Nice that you found this site before getting started with discus. I started in the ER here, but I probably wouldn’t have attempted it otherwise so it worked out for the best. Glad I didn’t end up missing out on this rewarding fish.
    Patty
    If the discus are happy, I’m happy
