1.0 out of 5 stars There are many other much better Discus books around ..., December 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guide to Owning Discus (Paperback)

I've read several Discus books, some really good ones from Bernd Degen, and I really didn't like this one. It doesn't focus on anything at all and it has no hints about keeping them (despite the sub-title in the front page) beside temperature. Some average pictures after all, from the TFH archive.
