Drink pfft....fishboy is partyboy. 
and LOL Orion.
I want some of those Red Turqs when you get some 3"ers so put me on the list
Oscar, first thing is first....gotta keep them alive. After you master the keeping aspect then you would move on to breeding. Daily W/Cs. live foods, low pH....many factors. Water quality has got to be top notch.

2" of generic strains can fetch about $15-20 each. If they are good quality. 3" for about $20-30. etc...LFS jacks the prices up for less than good quality discus. You can get a lot more for your money by going to a breeder.
Yeah W/Cs are the main thing. I am no expert on discus breeding or discus at all but i know some stuff just by reading and keeping them myself. Breeders will sometimes even do 25-50% TWICE a day. of course thus being done with complicated automatic W/C systems. I have stepped up my W/Cs on my discus tank to about Twice a week....usually. More if time permits. Theres really no such thing as to many W/Cs for discus. They need clean water. A general rule is....if you wouldn't drink your Discus tank water, then you need to do a W/C cause its not clean enough.
