What a terrific forum!

[Reallykeenondiscus]

My name is Young and I used to raise and breed discus as a hobby about 8 years ago. With work and a young family, I just didn't have the time to maintain my fish.

I'm here in Toronto and back then there weren't many local breeders or hobbyist from which you could get good stock. If this forum was around then it sure would have made my life a lot easier. Unfortunately not a lot of resources available locally and you had to learn the hard through trial and error...this forum is absolutely fabulous and makes me want to start up again! I'll keep reading the posts for now and went the "itch" gets unbearable, perhaps I'll take the plunge again.

hello and welcome to the forum. glad you found us. discus are in the blood. sometimes we need to step back for a time..especially with young families..but i have no doubt you will return one day soon. i believe info and standards have risen due to forums and educating , info and alot of great advice and contacts.
theres alot of great people on here..who have spent alot of time learning, scientific studies, breeding, etc etc.
ive seen alot of newbies succeed due to valuable info . as yyou said..before alot learnt with alot of trial and error..at least now you can have contact with their learning curve and different tips. even just other people in your area who know the water etc.

Welcome!

I took a break as well and now I am back! Full bore! Give yourself some time, get situated, find a local breeder (April!), and get your plan together! maybe involve the Young family (pun intended) in the Hobby as well!
