DISCUS

Hi Ryan Discus are not to bad to keep provided you are prepared to keep up your housekeeping and provide good water. £30 seems a bit high for small discus but it depends what they are like, It seems that because of their value some breeders will sell below par fish. So check for good body shape and that they are not clamped up and dark.

Hope this helps

If you read his post you would have seen that he already has been keeping discus...

I say get them, the discus do better in a school of 4 then only 2 lonely ones. Make sure you have a big enough tank, discus should be kept in a 55 gallon (190 somthing liter) tank.
For that price I would look around a litttle more, 30 punds sounds a little steep for a small one

The domestic bred variety is not hard to keep at all. But they are definatly not for the lazy when it comes to housekeeping.
