Hello All,

My name is Tim Ellis. I am in Leander Texas, about 20 miles north of Austin. I breed discus on a small scale and would like to hook up with anybody in the area to discuss our little round friends, and trade,buy or sell them. I am in this hobby for the pure enjoyment of it, and would like to meet others with the same interest........or shall I say addiction. You can reach me at timellis@ev1.net

Happy Discus,
Tim

[John_Nicholson]

Tim glad to see your post. When you decide to do some more trading let me know. I kind of wished I had some of those goldens that I traded to you last time.

Hi everyone! My name is Gary Strader. I also live in Leander, TX (just north of Austin). I happen to live right around the corner from Tim (he has a nice setup going)! I've kept discus for many years, but just starting to get serious about breeding them. I'm always anxious to learn and share experiences. My email is gstrader28@yahoo.com, drop me a line if you are in the area or would like to chat more.

Hello all. My name is Richard Davis. I live in Texarkana. Just a couple hours up the road from you, John. I was just down in Greenville last weekend. Was into breeding South and Central Americans back in the 80's. Out of the hobby for over ten years and started back this spring. Trying discus for the first time and having very good luck so far. This area is discus poor. Don't think our lfs's have any luck with them and don't care to take the time to learn. Maybe I can change that someday. I know most of them from the past and we have a pretty good working relationship. If I ever get the chance to get down there to Caddo Mills, I'd like to see what you have, John.

Hello everyone my name is Tony Serna I have just started keeping Discus again, currently only have 1 Heckel and would love to start keeping more. I have 1 100 gal. tank and just the Heckel in there now, can't wait to see that tank filled with other beautiful Discus.

[chirohorn]

Add me to the Austin area bunch....Lakeway to be exact. I've kept discus before, but haven't had any fish for 1/2 decade (finished school & all). I recently got an awesome deal on a 135 gallon and have decided to keep discus again (hopefully in a planted tank).

I've been fortunate enough to visit Tim's place & look forward to checking out any other local breeder setups. It's exciting to see all the new color strains available since I last left the hobby - Pete Nguyen - chirohorn@yahoo.com.

Howdy Ya'll,
Lance Krueger here in the Edinburg/McAllen, Texas area. I'm four hours due south of San Antonio, and an hour west of Brownsville. I live only 8 minutes from Mexico, in the middle of nowhere. I only know of one other discus friend down here, and he and I have been both successful at breeding discus, though we kill a lot more than we raise. But still trying to learn. We babysit each other's fish when one of us is out of town.
I've got about 40 discus, not counting babies, and about 800 gallons of tanks. Got most all of my fish from Mike Wells. I travel throughout Texas quite a bit, so I'll look some of you up some day and see what your setup is like.
