Hi,

About a year ago samir advised me to start with some cheap discus to get some, hands on practice and experience. This before laying out money for the more expensive Quality fish out there.

I am now ready to take that step after everythiong was put on hold for family reasons.

Which strains would you recommend? Also do you know where they are available. ie Breeders or reputable shops out Blacktown/Penrith way. I actually live near Richmond.

I must admit I do have a preference for Blue strains and alenquers.

I presume to keep the cost down I could buy some with minor deformities from local breeders. They will still get excellent care as I get attached to my fish. My aim being to grow them to adult size and keep them happy and healthy.

Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks Martin
