LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA!!!!!!
Hello good peoples. Glad I found you guys as I am pretty new to this forum and was looking for peeps in other areas.
I just got into discus-keeping but have been working with tropical fish for about 10 years. I have a 100gallon that's been est. for about 5 years continuously. And just got my fist 6 discus within the last 6 weeks here from various LFS in the general area.
I now understand that this is not exactly the best way to go...ESPECIALLY if you ask any of the enthusiasts here. Well jeez! They are correct! My life had been in turmoil and just became happy again; all of the fish survived and are healthy, eating and seem like they are pretty in decent shape (visually, aesthetics, based on the limited knowledge I currently have).
I was thinking I could handle about 10-12 total (fully grown) for my 100g if I am going to do 2Xs WC weekly at about 25%? Opinions wanted!
I currently have 2 Aqualclear 110s HOB filters on my setup.
I would also love to connect with other discus keepers in my area to learn more and just be more involved in general.
If anyone has good advice on breeders, enthusiasts, etc. with good genetics in our area please drop knowledge on me. I have seen/heard great things about Kenny Discus, Hans Discus but would think that being Los Angeles...there are a TON of breeders, hobbyist and possibly GOOD retailers in our area that can help me stock my tank over time. I DO NOT mind adopting beautiful fish either! I am being highly selective for my last spots and want to focus on getting some BANGERS!! Nothing super specific in mind.
But mainly wanted introduce myself with a, 'hello, hi!' and say that I am looking forward to be a part of this thing we call...DISCUS

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for posting in our SoCal section .
With your 100g, I would suggest simply keeping the 6 you currently have and grow them out. Reason being, you could theoretically keep the higher amount of discus that you desire, but it will not end well with the amount of WC's you plan on doing. You would need to do at least 2 to 3 times WC's at a much higher water volume exchange, somewhere around 50-75%
As far as good local hobbyist, we have quite a few, but the sponsors are the most recommended on the forum for a reason. They have super high quality discus at reasonable prices and they ship them right to your door.

Hello
My name is David lurking here for years, which made me a Freshwater Convrt last year from Salt since 1998. Have three current setups 240, 185, and using my 55gal reef set up with MH UV light wet dry sump w/ skimmer and has a chiller too as my quarantine tank (would never in a million yrs seen that happening just a few yrs ago).
Live in Corona Ca currently but raised in Bellflower area so I travel all across the area. Very familiar with all the local stores Tongs in FV, 405 in HB, Brea Tropical Fish, Jan's in Upland, CK fish world in Covina, Reef tropical fish in Anaheim and Tropical Fish in Garden Grove its not pretty but he has over 100 5"-6" discus at all times.
Would love to split Kenny's shipping fee with someone every time.
Welcome to the forum! I know a lot of reefers in the Corona area. Glad you made the switch
