Hello all!
I'm trying to write a paper on keeping discus as a hobby, you know, general keeping, breeding and stuff. I'm still rather new at keeping discus, but i believe the best way to learn is try to "teach" others. Writing stuff down helps me to learn much faster, kinda like a journal almost, but more technical and methodical. So, i'm trying to put what i've learned on to paper and hopefully as i go along, add more knowledge to it. Who knows, maybe someone would be able to benefit down the line. This technique really benifitted myself and fellow hobbists when i was actively invoved in angelfish, and i know that it would be helpful with discus.
Besides all the great stuff that i have learned on this forum from everyone's excellent and vast experience, I want to try to back things up with scientific evidence (*sigh* once an engineer .... always an engineer).
So i was wondering if anyone knew any good articles (journal or otherwise), papers or writings on discus, or even personal experience. Basically something that i can reference in my paper. Physiological or rearing or anything at all would be great.
Thanks so much in advace :) :)
Cheers
Marc
