Hi Kunal Welcome to SimplyDiscus.No better place to learn about Discus and it seams to me that you are on the right track.
Hello discus geeks!
This is Kunal Sharma from India.I have been keeping fish (basically cichlids) for over 11 years now when I was 8,and have bred many a species.
Discus have always fascinated me,particularly the wild varieties(blue face nhamundas and curipera reds) and I really enjoy learning about discus history (say articles from Jack Wattley & Schmidt Focke).I started first time with discus in 2015 and failed miserably.I was cheated on by the dealer who promised to get me 6 AAA quality Malaysian discus,while the ones I received were stunted and came in with sunken bellies and pinched forehead.Well that was a significant loss,atleast for a student who puts aside pocket money to buy discus lol.
I didn't give up though and brought two discus again in Dec,2016,which I personally selected from a local broker.I am pleased to finally hand on some quality stuff this time.Meanwhile I am summing up money as I plan to buy some Tony tan discus in September,and yeah also doing my homework.Long way to go!
On another note,I have a member here on simply for quite a while now,but never really got the opportunity to start a thread.So please bear with me.Oh and I must add I am fan of this forum,easily the best place to learn about discus .You guys go a great job and put together alot of valuable information gained through practical experience.So Thanks to everyone to put the efforts to keep this forum running.Apologies for a long thread lol. :-)
