4.0 out of 5 stars The Proper Care of Discus, January 27, 2000

By	Nicholas J. Gameos (USA) - See all my reviews

Good book for the beginner. Covers water quality, foods, breeding, stocking your show tank and a suggested reading section. I rated this book a 4 and not a 5 due to the fact that, although it covers many aspects of Discus keeping, it mentions nothing about disease and treatment for disease. My book is the 1995 edition and I have learned and applied much that I've read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starting point for the beginner, June 25, 1997

By A Customer

This book touched on every aspect of Discus keeping without going off into great detail on the more complicated parts. The author writes in an open minded fashion. It's clear to me as a reader that his way of caring for Discus is not the only successful way. The reader should do what works well for them

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overall information on Discus, July 30, 2002

By	A PAPADATOS (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

I consider myself relatively new to the hobby. My search for a good book on the subject began when I was incurring heavy casualties after having my discus tank for about a year. I could not understand why I was losing so many Discus. Anyway, my basis of buying this book was to understand the various diseases of discus and the treatments available to combat them.

This book does an excellent job in the set-up of the tank and maintenance. It also covers breeding thorougly. It lacks the information I was searching for being disease and treatment. It was poor in this respect.

Overall a great book
