Hi, my name is Christopher and I am from Singapore. I have been keeping discus for about 4 years now. I was first introduce to this beautiful fish when I was only 10 years old, by my grandfather who kept goldfish and wild discus.

Below is a link for the fishes that are in my current and past collection, I have also added the link to my Asian Arowana.

If you are ever in Singapore (Aquarama 25 till 29 May 2005, Singapore Expo), please do drop me a note. I would be glad to bring you around to the many discus farms available in our small country.

Maybe when Kev is back online he can give us an idea if something could be planned.
