Discus Reference Book

Welcome to the world of discus lovers! Discus have been known as the King Of The Aquarium for almost 60 years and for good reason. They are beautiful, graceful, majestic, interesting, colourful and challenging. You can also make money breeding them and, perhaps, even begin your own colour strain as Wattley, Schmidt-Focke and I have already done.

This book has been designed as a basic book in discus keeping. Sections on discus history, the Amazonian habitat, species descriptions and classifications, German discus breeding, buying, selling, shipping, selection of breeding stock, ailments and diseases, water requirements, feeding and the future of the discus hobby, are all discussed in detail.

The amazing colour photography enhances this wonderful book and makes it a must for every discus lover.
