Eric Tiu aka Discus...

been keeping fish since grade school days and i started my discus adventure in 1993 and ended my short eventful adventure in 1995. Discus bug bitten me again in year 2000 and had been afflicted with the virus up to the present.

my wish is to introduce to hobbyist this beautiful fish and to let them know that its not that hard to keep and breed discus....

discus keeping might not make me a millionare but the joy and camaraderie i got from hobbyist is more than enough to keep me going....

happy discus keeping my friend!!!

[water_changer]

Hello! Im Mark Mendez aka water_changer It seems that Discus popularity is getting stronger again here in the Philippines, I noticed it whenever i open palhs.

I used to take care and breed this majestic fish back then when i still have spare time to do all this fish demands. I got my stock from Marivi Laurel back then and some from the late kiss the fish petshop. I received all my training on how to care of this to owner of the wine shop at wilsons (just next door of kiss the fish) hehehehe. Also used to prepare my own beefheart mix!

Good news is, i do have a spare time again to meet all the demands of this fish. Bad news is Marivi is into saltwater fishes now at least from what i've heard???? But I do get some Discus from a friend that bought some of my stocks back then. i have a total of 8 dicus right now and i'm planning to add 4 more probably some snow whites, checker or blue diamonds. Well i guess i'm officially back!

[scottish]

Discus_frontier, many says that keeping discus was hard buti dont take this word to undo the hobby although iam just 13 i take it as a challenge for me to do, and found out that discus keeping was infact enjoyable, will take your stress out and makes you wanna buy all kind of strains inshort nakaka "ADIK" hehehe thanks to all of you :D

[Albino Discus]

Alvin Capistrano aka Albino Discus...

I was into fish hobby since high school but I stopped when i went to college. After so many years, I was struck by the discus fever again early this year and got addicted ever since. My son Juan was the one who introduced me to this hobby. Discus keeping is very demanding and challeging but enjoyable. Your stress level will really go down.

I'm still very new in the hobby and learning fast. I hope to breed some discus in the near future. I don't just enjoy the hobby but the friends I make as well.

To all my friends, happy discus keeping....

I'm Gerry Antonio, a proud 3rd generation Dabawenyo. :D

Discus was one of my frustrations in not being able to breed in large numbers. Was only able to breed a Pigeon blood crossed with a Blue Torquiose. But parents ate them. It was a frustration after 7 years of error and error method.

Might as well try again, but this time guided by those who were successful.

[sidney]

hello! al cruz here of iligan city aka sidney (my doggie's name)

as i ran over the foregoing posts, ako lang 'ata ang wala pang discus nor had the experience in keeping for some, hehe! but my passion for this fascinating creature is just as profound as yours guys, i tell you.

i only got to know discus when i first visited palhs. then on, i turned out head-over-heels with this isda. all my friends and officemates are beginning to laugh at me now coz out of my frustration (in looking for some), puno ng discus pics ang desktop pc at cellphone ko.... even though im keeping a flowerhorn, hehe!

alam ko maraming malalambot ang puso dyan and i feel, somehow, na meron dyang willing na magbigay, hehehe.....sana nga (wala kase discus dito). pls free me from this longing and agony.

'always keeping in touch.

hello! im justin gonzales aka dyupol. i started the hobby of having an aquarium last september 2006. I started having bettas, then went into guppies, and now planted tanks. i've been watching the discus threads for quite a while now. i'm very amazed by the beauty and elegance of the discus. i'll try to setup a tank for the discus soon. btw, thanks to the discus masters... sir dan, sir eric, and doc boni. :) keep up the good work! hope to see you soon!

[Karlo]

Mabuhay! Karlo Magpayo aka Karlo. Like most fishkeeping began when distant memories of a kid lingers between the relation of a father and a son. My dad introduced me to fishes as a way of hiding a horrible cracked wall! Those days are gone and I have relagated myself to owning and caring for pets in general. At one time, i have kept 15 Labradors, 2 African Cichlid Tanks, 24 birds, 2 cats and 2 pairs of rabbits. During those days, Labradors were my passion and have breed sold and shared Champions but due to space and financial concerns I had to let them all go. I have tried keeping Discus in the 90's but success wasnt with me. Presently, my Frontosas have given be the best stress buster with plans on keeping Discus again-this time older ones to lessen back pains caused by water changes.

[discusdubai]

[GulfCoastDiscus]

Hi, Daniel Roco Villasenor, Born in Naga City in Bicol. My mother immigrated to the US in 1966 and we followed in 1970. I was 9 years old then.
I started keeping fish in general since elementary. I always admired discus since I can remember. I just couldn't afford them. Bought my first group of Discus called German Brilliants in 1993. I been hooked ever since. I started breeding them and was suuccessful enough to sell the juvenilles to fishstore and other hobbyist to pay for the hobby. At one time I had over 15 breeding pairs and was not enough to supply the demand from hobbyist and fishstores. The time to grow them out and the space needed was too much for one person.
I started to import discus in 2001 to supply the demand and to be able to get the newest and latest strains.
I'm also into planted tank. I belong to a group of planted fanatics called NASH (Nature Aquarium Society of Houston) This group takes their inspirations from Amano Takashi where a planted tank is more of an art form. I'm always trying to find a balance of a planted tank with Discus.

I'm happy to be able to provide help to anyone willing to venture into this hobby. When I started keeping discus, everything was a secret. No one wanted to share their experience and success.

I have over 50 tanks and looking to expand. I hope to open up a retail store not only to provide tropical fish but aquarium installation and maintenance, and siminars to educate newbies into the hobby.


My next challenge is to learn to keep Marine tank. hahahha

[DXcus]

Hello I am Dexter Tsai Chung now turning into a super discus freak. My father introduced me to fish keeping since he and his brothers were also fish hobbyists. Eversince i was a small boy I have been at anything around Water and the SEA.

When i was around 10 years old.I was able to breed common Siamese fighting fish. It was with the help of books and TFH magazines that i found at my grandparents house owned by my pops bro's.

I started with discus during my college days around 1998 . I started with a sole custome made 35 gallons. During that time my moms bro gave me 4 turquoise discus from his bro in law who could breed discsus . Gradually as i had spare allowance i was able to buy other strains of discus like pigeons... and other strains sold very cheap by my classmate since he couldnt maintain with our college hobby.
At the beginning i got to hasty with medicines when there were bad signs on my discus. But with both good and bad experience I was able to raise some to big sizes.

1998 were times were there were still some discus shops that specialized in quality discus
Like Aquarium habitat and my cousin's venture , a petshop at banawe cor. Atok specializing in import Exotic fish. I was just a window shopper then, since I did not have enough budget to buy quality fish and i was a person that never asks parents for money.

I was stop and go with my discus hobby. Especially when i left to study at China. I dont know but i even reached and trained Shaolin Kungfu at the Shaolin Temple in Henan for quite some time.

Im the crazy guy with the stick
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u237/dexchung/16809254820441l.jpg


Everytime i left my fish start to breed and i had to give alot of instructions to the house helpers. When i returned during vacation I ended up selling everything.

Nov 2004 i restarted with discus.
2005 I tried my first import and everytime i go abroad i always looked for petshops and tried to bring home fish.
2007 is another beginning. My theme "Discus with a Vengeance"

[bonifacelan]

Hello to all discus addicts. I'm Boniface W. Lan, friends call me boni. Started my 1st discus keeping way back 2001, when my sister told me sa tapat ng CKSC meron ape who's selling blue turquoise. I was love at first sight. Started with 30 discus, di ko pa hobby magwaterchange, it only lasted I think 6 months. But the said incident did not stop me from trying again. Until last year February 2006, started again with several week old frys and join the group. The rest are history.

[Oxyman]

Hi I'm Raymund "Mon" Ramos, aka Oxyman

Started with flowerhorn, then arowana, now discus. Mga 1 week pa lang ako sa discus. Learning a lot.

Actually I just wanted to test some water purification and oxygenation equipment with the discus kaya kumuha ako ng isa sa Sam's Lagoon. When I learned na dapat pala madami sila, that's when I said to myself na I'm getting hooked one way or the other. Alam nyo this morning, I found myself moving some of my fish out of my 75 gallon tank...:confused:

[Baldwin]

More than 6 years ago, after deciding to stop marine tanks. I switched to fw and Discus was my first fw fish. I had a 75g with 6 or so discus that I bought at Marivi Laurel's former fish shop at Wilson ave., SJ. They were expensive as one small discus sometimes cost P1k+. I didn't change water as often as I should but some of the dominant fish grew to a good size. I then went to fh and aros. Here's my discus tank right now...

Hi to all, I'm Marlon Lozada a.k.a. N|TE from Quezon City. I first started taking care of flowerhorns way back two years ago. I just started in keeping discus November last year (Newbie).

[Digimon]

Hi. I'm Ed Tan from Vancouver,BC,Canada. My interest in the Fishkeeping Hobby started in the Philippines when I was in 6th grade. My passion for this hobby is endless, I think I've experienced keeping almost all the popular type of fish...Livebearers,Goldfish,Koi,Discus & other cichlids,Arowanas,saltwater and a lot more. But since 1999, my interest shifted to Planted tanks. At present, I design and maintain Planted tanks as a business here in Vancouver,BC. I have also renewed my interest in Discus. Just recently,I acquired 5 beautiful Heckel Discus which I put in my Planted tank for display. Hopefully,I will be able to setup a reef tank in the coming days.

[Damn-sel Fish]

Hello! I'm Mandy Bautista...newbie palang sa "Discus World" , started my fishkeeping hobby 1998 my first set up was a saltwater aquarium...very fascinating kasi mga fishes and corals, that's why my handle name is "Dam(n)-sel Fish"..loves ko kasi itong isadang ito very strong ang color nya hehehehe but my love and devotion to saltwater lasted only for 2-3 yrs. Yr. 2000 i was hooked up with Tamiya mini 4-wd so napabayaan ko ang fishkeeping and sad to say up to now im still playing/racing the Tamiya Mini-4WD at Festival Mall:D i belong to the Team Komodo Dragon(TKD) - majority of my team-mates are from Cavite area. Yr. 2005 i've started again my fishkeeping hobby this time flowerhorn naman...but unfortunately nagsawa ako sa flowerhorn coz pagmalaki na kasi flowerhorn hanggang doon nalang sila hihihihihi:D

At present my passion for fishkeeping is "UP" again....i like colorful fishes and Discus can provide variety of strains with very impressive physical appearances...kaya im sure mag eenjoy ako sa Discus...

...at mag eenjoy din ang Maynilad at Manila Water dahil lalaki income nila sa mga adik sa waterchange hihihihihihi....:D

More Powers sa PALHS!!!!
More Powers sa mga "ADIK SA WATERCHANGE" - THE DISCUS GROUP

Hi to all discus addicts, I’m Steven Lagman aka TENG
I used to take care and breed discus

I started out with blue diamond and turquoise 2 years ago like any other hobbyist during that time i was also lacking information about the keeping of discus, then searching thru net i got the number of Eric Tiu,Ceasar Cheng, Albert Teng and Robert Chow
I did a lot of trial and error before i found out the best way on how to keep discus
since then discus have been my passion even my wife is so jealous to me i can even stay in front of my aquariums for almost 8 hours watching my discus …(discus fever)

[bibby]

Hi to all discus fanatics...Hi im Paulo Carandang a proud Batangueno...

pero i recently stay here sa novaliches because of my studies...

i've been to fish keeping since i was a high shcool student back then...my first fishes are fancy tailed guppies and goldfishes..hehehe... kasi trend sa batangas that time na kapag meron kang aquarium eh big time family kayo...

pero that time din wala me paki kung meron o wala deal ang mag aquarium nun.. im just keeping fishes that time for the hobby not the aesthetic(payaman effect) purposes..hehehe

when i was in third year high school i've been stung by the aro virus..i've bought 3 50'gal tanks that time..taking care of jardini,malaysian gold and silver aro...

when i was in may college years i've been into flowerhorns..especially those original strains like blue and red dragon, SRS, EM,.. upto now meron parin me 2 flowerhorns but thay stay na in batangas...

before finishing my college degree.. naka balik me ulit sa fancy guppies pero yung paring cheaper strains...

ngayon nasa second degree na me of my studies nadale me ng discus virus...patingin tingin lang naman me sa palhs site... then na enganyo me ng lalong dumadami na discus hobbyist dito sa palhs...

first batch of discus ko ay 2 blue turq, 1 leopard SS, 1 blue diamond, 1 marlboro...

pero 4 out of 5 died because of a heater accident....pero this accident wouldnt take me away form this hobby...lalo na nung nakita ko buhay paring ang aking marlboro kahit umabot pala ng 42C ang init ng tubig ko..sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko this is a sign na hindi ko dapat iwan ang hobby...

recently i've just acquired 3 pigeon blood and 2 snakeskin discus...and im planning to magdagdag pa ng stock...sana this is the start of further blooming of the discus hobby here in the philippines...

[bibby]

parang buong buhay ko na ang naikwento ko dito sa thread ahh...

[wakz]

oliver firmalino here aka wakz(my sons nickname) ive been in the fish hobby for almost 6years , started with flowerhorn(until now addict parin), then goldfish ,cichlids, arowana then recently discus(really a fever now). i started buying my stocks from well known fish importer here in manila (all breeds are from thai) kaya medyo mahirap talaga e kondisyon, not to mention they are hormoned, hindi pa maganda shape ng katawan, but recently got a new exporter from indonesia, a bit expensive than thai but quality , i could compare it to malaysia etc.. discus-keeping pushes me to be more focused in keeping my water quality clean in all my tanks, medyo maasikaso lang but worth it talaga. my goals is to breed quality discus someday so filipinos could also afford to own one at hindi lang puro import na sobrang mahal... go discus!!

[demzz]

Am Ronald Demegillo aka demzz. I've been into aquarium hobby eversince am an elementary student... started with discus when i reached high school... (malaki-laki na kasi allowance). I was able to breed once however, its unfortunate that i have to give them a way for some reason. Just a year ago, balik ulit ako discus keeping nung binigyan ako ng friend ko ng dalawang discus... yun, hanggang ngayon discus pa rin guess you just can't get away with that discus bug.;)

Happy discus keeping to everyone!

[Jex]

Jerico Earl Anton Bonzon, 17. Jex for short. Influenced by my late grandfather in the fish hobby when I was, I guess, 10 years old and until now I still enjoy the benefits of a fish hobbyist, the enjoyment, the excitement, the thrill and the relaxation one gets from our dear fishy Friends. I started out keeping livebearers, then ventured out with oscars - to goldfishes ang cichlids until I arrive with the ever famous flowerhorn back then when I discovered this website. It was until recently that I was able to aquire four specimens of this so called Discus which I have longed for, years ago. Before, being so innocent and young, I bought a discus and mixed it with my cichlid tank. The poor fish lasted for 2 days I guess, and I admit my mistake. It took me almost three years to get back in Discus keeping again and this time, I made use of my Grandfather's old Tank which I receved as a "Pamana" from him for he died December last year. It was a happy thing for me to use the tank of a man who passed on to me this hobby with the fish I cherished more than others. Although I am a neophyte in Discus keeping, I am excited to learn more about Discus and this hobby. Hope you can help me. :D Regards!

Animo Discus! haha!

[manilabynight]

Jojo a.ka. ManilaByNight here. A native of Cagayan de Oro and Cebu with friends and relatives scattered in CDO, Cebu, Iligan and Davao but I practically grew up in Quezon City.

I got started with fishes when I was still in my early Elementary school 'coz my mom was into it as a hobby and I helped her maintain them. Later, I started my own aquarium which was marine and I kept exotic fishes like seahorses, clown fishes and the like. Aquarium technology wasn't so high-tech and up-to-date then so eventually I had to give up maintaining marine fishes.

I then got hooked into the orchid plant breeding thing and I had collections of very beautiful, rare and award-winning orchid plants. I had student-friends who were experts in their field from UPLB and who are now "big-shots" in the orchid and plant businesses in the Philippines.

Then the inevitable came and my parents passed away and the Philippine economy was going really bad so I suddenly had to fend for my own and I set aside the fish and plant hobby aside and concentrate on my work and career.

I eventually was able to buy my own humble and modest townhouse in Q.C. and moved in 2 years ago. I later found it dry and unrelaxing since it is an all-concrete townhouse which is a far cry from my ancestral house which was HUGE and ROOMY and had PLENTY of garden, fresh air and sunlight. I thought that I'd better start interior decorating to make my place more relaxing, stress-free and homely so I started furnishing with plants (of course my expertise was orchids so I slowly filling it with orchid plants) and to make the atmosphere feel cooler and relaxing, I got two second-hand aquarium complete set-ups. Initially, I didn't want to keep big fish like arowanas or flowerhorns kasi of the thought that I might have to change the size of my tank later and mamomoblema pa ako. I also wanted something that was schooling and colorful para masaya. I am not attracted to flowerhorns in spite of their color 'coz majority of them are solitary fishes - masyado malungkot - plus yung big bulge on their heads which I get turned off at. So I started off with the brightly colored tetras .... but later I just found them too small so a friend and office co-worker of mine advised me to go marine but I said freshwater ako kasi I find the equipment and maintenance of marine aqua expensive. He advised me to try cichlids but I find them matatapang and territorial and I had some exisiting tetras already - baka kainin lang ng mga cichlids. Then I spoke to one of the fish store owners in cartimar who suggested discus although maselang nga daw kasi kailangan daw ng clean water all the time. Funny, but there was something in the discus by staring and looking at them sa shop niya that attracted me - though they were just small (2.5 inch juveniles) and they were not even brightly colored pa. I must have thrown caution aside and got 3 (yes three!) assorted ones.

Now, I'm stuck with them but the more I learn about them through the internet and having to see the photos of the discus of the members here - the more I am drawn to them. Geesh! Just my luck and I don't have enough space in my townhouse for a big aquarium!

Anyway, just introducing myself to you guys here ......

And oh, by the way, I'm a fish myself .... or rather a piscean (but don't know how to swim! Hahahaha!)

Hi Discus fanatics!

This is Raymond Veloso aka jacksparrow (natuwa lang ako sa pirtes of the carribean) just started reading about discus til I finally got one last week! Wow.. tulala lang ako dun sa aquarium for hours..hehehe...:) My mistake was I only got one and I read that they would be better off in a group. Does anybody know where I could buy some nice quality discus (yung medyo cheap ha..;) ) ...? I kinda spent it all out for the heater and aquarium...oh well sa next na sweldo sana..:p Hoping to be an active member in the near future..:)

[LRTan]

Lawrence Tan, been into fish keeping on and off for a while now and have been a frustrated discus keeper 3 years ago. Got started fish keeping again last november when a friend of my brother gave us an arowana. From that and searching the internet we found the Palhs website while looking for info about arowanas. And one day i made the mistake of clicking on GulfCoastDiscus' post about all his discus and was instantly hooked again. Took me a while to get the courage to buy the fish again since i didnt want to see them all dying on me again. Buti nalang meron threads about keeping discus, asa "WATER-CHANGE" lang pala ang secret to being successful. So now i have 12 baby discus in a 20gal grow out tank from DXcus they're all doin well and sobrang takaw (and of course looking to acquire more) .

Hoping to join in on some of the activities of the discus club here so as gain more knowledge in discus keeping!

Happy Discus Keeping! and more power to all the Discus addicts here!

I'm glad I was able to lure you back into the hobby. Many myths and misconception in keeping discus mostly created by fishstore and one tank experts. Anything questions regarding rearing, this forum is your best bet. Welcome back. The addiction is worse the second time around.

[lady elizabeth]

hi guys i'm lady elizabeth, i formerly owned a few discus, unfortunately the water supply in our area had a problem because some people would tap the water sources illegally, causing the paying citizen headaches.water coming out of the faucet smells like sewers, we hadn't had water for 2 weeks straight and our petfish suffered badly.. no water for wc.. what a nightmare.. now that everything with nawasa are fixed and we have our wholeday supply of clean water again.. i'm planning to buy a few discus for my 50gal tank.. anyway here's a post of my old friends.. i have to sell them cause they would die in my house when there's no clean water, anyway newbie pa ko nito mga 2 years ago.. di ko pa diyan naaral lahat pati yung plants and substrate luckily strong yung mga discus at lumaki naman kaso kailangan iout na dahil sa walang water

[ofanim]

i've been a discus keeper for a few years now. my first batches were from eric himself and bought more than a dozen. glad to say they're prolific egg-layers. unfortunately i've been a bit busy to monitor the eggs and they end up being eaten. space has also been a constraint in my place hence i couldn't separate my breeding pairs. i did get a few fries as well but again, they get eaten.

anyways, it's nice to know there are more discus people around. i do plan to buy more fries ;)

Mga Lizada ng Dabaw ay Hijos po sa Lugar at sa Dabaw iilang myembro ng ka-lolohan at ka-tiyuhin ko ay hawak ang ilang posisyon sa gobyerno doon at mismo sa Hall of Justice tanging tiyuhin ko isa sa mga hanging judges namin. (inaykopu!)

70% ng Lahi ko ay mahilig din po sa isda - marine (deep-sea diving) and freshwater fishkeeping. 100% ng myembro ng lahi ko ay mahilig KUMAIN ng masarap !!! Kaya po mga Lizada ng Dabaw ang taning ebidensya sa mga hinahawakan na masasarap na REstaurants sa Davao simula pa 1950s.

Sa larangan ng ARTS - ito din po ang isa sa mga hilig ng lahi ko at isa na dito ang pag paganda ng mga lahi ng ornamental fishes.

Mula pagiging musikero, hardinero, taga-luto, laba at plantsa....ako po ay inyong lingkod mula umaga hanggang umaga sa sunod na araw. Wala po akong ninanais na ibang intensyon dito kundi tumulong sa KAPWA.

Hello, Im Jeremy from manila.

I wanted to start a hobby in keeping freshwater fish and DISCUS caught my fascination instantly. Right now I already have 10 (2-3 inches) discus and 2 clown loaches in my 20 gallon tank. 2 weeks ko pa lang sila inaalagaan. I have read a few lessons for beginners like me about discus care, compatible tanksmates and putting up the ideal setup for their crib. For now im feeding them 3 times a day with frozen bloodworms and tetra bits alternately. I have put up a water heater inside the crib and changes the water (about 20%) almost everyday. I hope i can get all the advice i need from u guys to keep my discus in best condition all the time. Thanks in advance and hope to see your discus collection also soon.

Welcome sir to the world of discus

[tagak]

hello to all adik sa WC! sali na po ako dito, I'm Marvin, mga 11 years nakong nang aalaga ng fresh water fish, Arowana, Tiger and Frontosa adik and soon tobe Discus adik hehehe.

madalas kong i check tong panay discus dahil natutuwa ako sa mga kulay ng discus na pinopost dito. matagal ko nang gustong mag alaga nito pero ang alam ko kasi mahirap alagaan to kaya nagdadalawang isip akong mag try.

pero ayun nung nag umatend ako ng 5th Discus EB naging discus keeper agad ako.

thanks and nice meeting you all.

[KingOftheGoldenKiko]

Hi to all the masters & bros! im a newbie. Naka attend na ako nung 5th EB. Dami ko nalaman sa pag keep ng Discus. 5 yrs pa lang ako nag iisda. Although nung bata pa'ko, i remember nag-aalaga ako ng martiniko (tama ba?) and fighting fish also known as betta. 5 yrs ago, i acquired a single betta and kept for almost a year. Then i'd decided to keep a marine tank, tapos FH na. The FH change my world of fish keeping...hehehe! untill i found my 5 discus sa last EB ng Discus...hehehe!


wait...5 years na ako nag-iisda and then 5 na discus ang nakuha ko....hey! there's a connection!!! hahaha! :D

like i told to sir Boy, parang feeling ko ngayon pa lang ako nag-iisda. Na-eexcite ako dito sa Discus. :D

Welcome to Discus world sir Paolo, there are many factors why your first attempt in discus keeping was not very successful. You may refer to the sticky thread "discus keeping for beginners" before you purchase your next set of discus. I read in an article before that in a group of discus, it is inevitable that one fish will be at the bottom of the pecking order. This fish will eventually turn out to be the runt of the group, getting less food. The fish should not be removed but rather allowed to remain in the tank or else another may take it's place. I think it's goes the same with bullies. If you remove the bully in the group, another one may take it's place. Good luck sir!

Hi Guys,

I just joined today. I have been an aquarium enthusiast for 10 years already. I have laready taken care of discus before but I was a bit unlucky then. After a bout with Flowerhorns I decided to go back to discus. I just got a pair of Torqs and a pair of Pigeon bloods. I want to add a few more as I have a 50 galon tank.

Are there any breeders/sellers in the Alabang or Paranaque areas.

My new discus' are just 2 inches and are still a bit shy. Everytime I approach the tank they go to the corner and stay there. However, when I view them from afar they swim around already.

Good Day to all Water Changer. I'm Nestor A. Arellano Jr.aka rotsen. Now I can join here na. Before, I'm hesitant to join here, kasi hindi ko alam mag post. Dati na akong nag alaga ng discus. It all started since my father bought a dozen of Brown Discus that was 1985 more or less. My Father manage to breed them, but keeping the hobby only last for 2 years. when my mother died my father were very depress, I encourage my father na mag alaga uli ng isda just to overcome his depressions. one time in cartimar we saw a blue cobalt discus, my father were very amazed of the blues kasi first time namin makakita, after 15 years ng brown discus. Discus keeping overcomes my father's depression. At that time tandem na kami in discus keeping. From jubiniles We have raised 10 breeders. There was a time na lahat ng breeders namin may mga fries. All of this were not that easy puro trial and error kami not like today, na maraming expert na tumutulong lalo na sa mga newbies. I would like to thank Sir Dan, sir Eric at Sir Dxcus alam moba na sila kasi yung taong walang reservation sa pagtulong, pag educate at pag share ng expertise nila in discus keeping just to promote the hobby. back to my nobela. A year before my father die na tigil uli pag alaga namin, I'm into flowerhorn naman, Now after 2 years last april nag start uli ako magalaga ng jubies, up to now. Less than a week ago nag breed n yung BD x Blue Torq. ko. Siguro naman that will prove na talagang Discus Lover ako, di lang yun Addict pa. Diba?

my name is David. i started having discus fishes since pretty much the same month as last year. but i grew up seeing how fishes are raised in ponds and tanks. as my dad and uncle were tropical fish fanciers themselves. i started with goldfishes i bought in chatuchak market in bkk. i took care of them for several years. enjoyed every day i see them in my tanks. since last year with my discus fishes, ive been so fixated at seeing how elegant discus fishes glide thru water and how mindful they are of their co inhabitants as well! i have one concern though. i dunno the strains that i have. i have some pics and pls someone help me? ive taken cared of every specimen when they were just an inch or two in diameter i guess. ive been feeding them tetrabits, beef heart and frozen blood worms in rotation. i want to acquire some pure breed ones but i hope it wont cost me an arm and a leg. hehehe

ps. i have 2 more images to show.

Hi, I'm Edwin Resultay aka Discus Keeper from Tandang Sora, Q.C. I have been a Discus Keeper
years ago. Was able to breed them and made lot's of friends thru ASAP ( Aquarium Science
Asso. of the Phils. where me and my brother became active members.) I shifted to german sheperd dogs. In a few years that the Discus was not a part of my family, I realized that there's something missing, there was a vacuum. As they say, once a Discus Keeper will always be a Discus Lover. So, last 13 Oct.I made my move and got some juvs from Mr. Eric Tiu together with my elder brother. I can say that the juvs are stable and I tell you that they have an enormous appetite. 30% H2O change daily as advised by Mr. Tiu is practiced. It's my pleasure to be a part of the group and looking forward to the next EB. And to Mr. Tiu, thank you for entrusting some of your juvs to me and my brother.

my name is David. i started having discus fishes since pretty much the same month as last year. but i grew up seeing how fishes are raised in ponds and tanks. as my dad and uncle were tropical fish fanciers themselves. i started with goldfishes i bought in chatuchak market in bkk. i took care of them for several years. enjoyed every day i see them in my tanks. since last year with my discus fishes, ive been so fixated at seeing how elegant discus fishes glide thru water and how mindful they are of their co inhabitants as well! i have one concern though. i dunno the strains that i have. i have some pics and pls someone help me? ive taken cared of every specimen when they were just an inch or two in diameter i guess. ive been feeding them tetrabits, beef heart and frozen blood worms in rotation. i want to acquire some pure breed ones but i hope it wont cost me an arm and a leg. hehehe

ps. i have 2 more images to show.

Hi, I'm Edwin Resultay aka Discus Keeper from Tandang Sora, Q.C. I have been a Discus Keeper
years ago. Was able to breed them and made lot's of friends thru ASAP ( Aquarium Science
Asso. of the Phils. where me and my brother became active members.) I shifted to german sheperd dogs. In a few years that the Discus was not a part of my family, I realized that there's something missing, there was a vacuum. As they say, once a Discus Keeper will always be a Discus Lover. So, last 13 Oct.I made my move and got some juvs from Mr. Eric Tiu together with my elder brother. I can say that the juvs are stable and I tell you that they have an enormous appetite. 30% H2O change daily as advised by Mr. Tiu is practiced. It's my pleasure to be a part of the group and looking forward to the next EB. And to Mr. Tiu, thank you for entrusting some of your juvs to me and my brother.

[Discus Keeper]

Welcome back. You know the addiction is worse the second time around.
There's lots of good people in this forum. You picked the right place to get Discus. Eric is a honorable, helpful and has great discus.

daniel


Hi Daniel. you're perfectly right that addiction the 2nd time around is worst. After the 1st batch of juveniles from Mr. Tiu, I am already thinking of buying additional juveniles. At present, I have 2= 75gals, by next week it will be 3=75gals. until my studio is filled with aquarium. I agree that I was lucky to have met Mr. Tiu on my return bout with discus and also thankful that he gave me this website wherein there's a lot of useful information and where I can discover new friends.

[Discus Keeper]

sir edwin welcome po sa Discus World again, basta kay sir eric...you're on the right track!:D

Hi Damn-sel Fish, thank you for the warm welcome. You're right basta kay Mr. Tiu we are on the right track and may his tribe increase. Seldom we see knowledgeable people share their wealth of information. Mr. Tiu was very accomodating when we visited him even though he was too busy attending to his clients, what a gentleman.

Hi! My name is also Teng. Teng Resultay, brother of Edwin Resultay aka discus keeper. My fish keeping days began when I was just a kid. I began with mollies, swordtails, guppies and golfish. Then when the cichlid craze bit me, I started breeding salvinis, green terrors, red jewels and albino convicts. I shifted to bird breeding and dogs, when water pressure here in my place had become erratic. But after reading an article on Mr. Eric Tiu on Pets Unltd., my love for discus was once again stimulated, my jaws dropped upon seeing pictures of Mr. Eric Tiu's discus.

To make the long story short, my brother and I bought some juvys from Sir Eric. And we're now officially in the loop again!

Thanks to Sir Eric for being supportive to guys like us! may your tribe increase! More power!

Hi welcome! I dont have an answer to your question since I dont have any experience in pairing / breeding discus but you may want to post in the forum. I'm sure our masters and experts will be very much willing to share their experiences to you.

BTW, You may also want to visit www.pds.ph (http://www.pds.ph/) (Philippine Discus Society). Hope you can share photos of your discus. Thanks!

Very nice planted tank Ian. What other fish do you keep inside the tank with your discus?

[ianskie]

i have 2 corydoras and six tiger barbs, they are not compatible with eah other but i haven't experience any problems since i started, but im thinking to keep only my two discus. i talk to macky about breeding and i would like to try it. if you have some qustions or any idea feel free to ask. thank you also for the compliment

I think corydoras are compatible tankmates with discus. However, I believe Tiger barbs are aggresive fish and I havent tried placing them together with any discus.

[ianskie]

for what i have observed, fishes are like people, sometimes they like the fishes they are with. they swim along with my discus and i haven't notice any problems. do you have any idea how to determine which is male and female for discus?

hi everyone. i am pretty new here and also recently got into fish keeping again after several years of being out of the hobby. i am into discus now in a semi-planted community tank (with corydoras, blue ram, tetras, clown and polka dot loaches), several 'nano' tanks (lobsters, kuhli loaches and guppies, uarus) and a batya pond for my ranchus in a span of two to three months. i hope to learn more and share my experiences about discus as it was never among my specialties although i had two brown ones in the 90s. see you around and will soon post my tank.

You are in the wrong thread elemix, I hope our mod can move your post. We would like to see your set up first. What is the size difference of your small discus from the large ones? Regarding your question, it is best to seperate the small ones from the big ones. Your smaller discus may get bullied during feeding. Alternate your feeding with beef heart mix or frozen blood worms.
