Life with Discus Keeping

It's been a while since the last time I posted something here. I was quite busy and I think my Discus didn't like that a lot. I think Discus fish need more attention than a dog need. There are lot of things to write so I ll I will be writing a lot in next few days.

After many failed attempts my Discus pair was able to have a successfully fry. That was after moving them to their own tank. But now there are only 6 fry left. I have to admit its not easy to breed Discus fish and raise Discus fry. At least till you learn how to do it and gain experience. 

If you are a newbie at Discus fish keeping then I recommend you to buy few Discus fish keeping books and join couple of Discus fish forums. I have been keeping Discus fish for 2 years now yet there are soo many things to learn. I have talked about few good Discus fish keeping books through out the blog so you will find few good choices here.

Trophy Discus : The art of selecting, grooming, and showing discus

I received this book called Trophy Discus as a birthday present from a friend of mine who know I'm crazy about Discus Fish. I was not very impressed by cover but after reading the book I have to admit I'm really Happy my friend picked this book over other Discus fish books.

Trophy Discus is not a usual Discus fish book you get general information about Discus fish. This is a book for someone who have kept Discus fish for a while. This book is all about show Discus. It has all info about how to select quality Discus and how to keep them. I learned a lot about how to select a good quality Discus fish and what are the things to look for. Trophy Discus is written by 3 very experienced Discus fish keepers. I can recommend this book to anyone who keep Discus fish and want to learn about how to find, select, keep high quality Discus fish.

Also Trophy Discus book has excellent advice and details about breeding Discus fish. It covers areas like how to artificial raise fry, genetics, judging standards and the genetic background for the common Discus varieties, which you don't get from a average Discus fish book. Trophy Discus is excellent addition to your Discus book collection.
