Ok, if you did read that, you are probably no longer considering getting a discus for your tank. Discus are really amazing fish, but so much work is involved to keep them happy...simply no time for me.

Many in the hobby feels as eco tank does when it comes to discus. They dont need a real expert or a full time worker to care for them. All they need is Clean, warm water (around 30C) of not less than 10 gal/fish; high protien food like frozen bloodworms, tetra bits or tetramin flakes.
I swear whtevr work u do for discus they're worth it!

I agree Cichlidian. Just a little TLC and they are fine. Not relaly that hard or as hard as they are made out to be.
