Hi, I am new to this forum. Glad to have found you all ......:D
I have been keeping freshwater fish for the past 20 years and 3 years ago started a saltwater tank too.
I have bred many types of fish over the years including angels. But the "king" of the tank is one that has always stole my heart.
Not easy to get here due to the talk about how hard they are to keep we do get some nice ones that come in the odd time or I can special order them in too if available. Many folks just don't want to fuss with our water here as it is on the hard side. I did fuss when breeding my angels only to end up killing more than I could keep alive. I then turned to just leaving well enough alone and then I had more angels than I knew what to do with. Sometimes things are just best left alone.....;)
The breeding thing is in my past and I just enjoy keeping beautiful fish now. I started with my very first Discus about 2 1/2 years ago. Made some mistakes along the way and it cost me my beautiful fish.
This time around, I hope to not repeat those mistakes and so far all is well and I have a young healthy beautiful ( IMO) Discus. It was labelled blue snakeskin but I will be posting pictures to get the right strain it is.
I would like some opinions about a few books, below are the names of them I would greatly appreciate any and all info about them if they are good or not.
The Guide To Owning Discus
T.F.H. Discus
Barrons Discus Fish
