Good afternoon to everyone,
I have just joined as I would love to learn about Discus Breeding as a hobby. I have been flicking in and out of this site for about a year and just decided to finally join. When I was a child we started with one aquarium then it became two and two years later we had ponds of all sizes and shape as my father was a bricklayer and right into tropical fish-many years ago now. We never had Discus though and I really love the colours and size of these fish.
We have the glass cut but still need to glue it together. It is five feet long, two feet high and two feet deep. We have two other large aquariums with plattys and guppys and silver dollars and ghost night and elephant heads and albino catfish,..I wish to only put discus with discus in the new aquarium-I'm weary also of plants for diseases but would like to have one or two plants nonetheless. I would love to get the aquarium up and running for a few weeks to build good bacteria but don't know what fish to put in there first to "test" the water prior to purchasing discus. Also would be happy to listen to any advice for successful keeping and breeding of these beautiful fish and maybe start with some lower price healthy breeds of discus for beginners,..
