Any Discus keepers?

[Aquatic Dreams]

Hey all,

Many years ago I kept & bred some real nice Discus, none of the "Hollywood" types that are around these days but all the old types, Brown, Green etc etc
I moved house and lost the lot, I swore I would never keep them again, But.......... Some real nice Browns came into work yesterday and I'm tempted
If I get some I'll throw some pics up...Ahh WTH! I'll get some pics today while I'm at work

So is there any Discus keepers on the forum?

[Aquatic Dreams]

Here's some of the Discus from work, pics arent good as they are from my phone.









I have seen some for sale on another site as well, some real nice Snakeskins, I might look into those as well

I asked Mikemj from another forum if I could use his pics..
These are teh Discus he has for sale ATM I would love to get some.. When the taxes are done, I might get some..
Beautiful old style Discus.







LOOK AT THIS! What a stunner!

Discus are awsome
My brother.. also on this forum Angelo had some

had them for 18 months in a 4 footer
have a vid of them on my phone will try and up load.. def amazing to look at

some people think the care required for them is too much.. ive seen myself the change in discus from juvies grow into full adult size who were breeding.. all that was done to the tank was water changes 25-30% twice a week some prime and lots of food... blood worms etc.. discus are not hard to keep if you make sure all the basics are covered.. good filter/heater/food some people do look to much into it..

Ive seen those pics of mike on the other forum.. def something im saving up for....
would love to get 7 and hopefully in a year or so get them breeding.. would be a good challenge

for me personally its a battle which to get first discus or fronties.. :/

[Aquatic Dreams]
