Better Than New

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK MANY YEARS AGO AND WENT TO BUY IT AGAIN AND ENDED UP WITH THE LATEST EDITION. THE LATEST EDITION IS MISSING ALOT OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT THIS BOOK HAS. IF YOU ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF DISCUS FISH THIS IS A GREAT BOOK. THE NEW EDITION HAS BETTER PICTURES BUT THAT IS WHERE IT ENDS. BUY THIS BOOK

Review: Discus Fish - Complete Pet Owner Manual

A good book for the beginning to think about keeping Discus. It provided enough information for me to make the decision to give it a try. Two years later, I still have 4 of my orgininal 6 dicus purchased, so I think it helped get me on the right track. Other books can be had with more detailed information on discus if your intent is to keep many of them and even trying your hand at breeding them.

Great info!

So far, one of the best books I have read for a beginner just like me. It is easy to read and very informative, though it may come short on some subjects.

Not really about discus fish

I purchased this book as a reference for discus. Instead, it went through all of the details of setting up a fish tank, something one should be well informed about before even attempting to set up a discus tank.

Some of the information seemed contradictory or incorrect. The sections about discus were short and not detailed. This is not the book for any serious discus owner or owner-to-be.

Nice little book

Good pictures and enough information for a starter book. Gave me what I wanted to know for a small price. A whole lot cheaper than even the least expensive discus would have been.
Good for deciding whether or not you have or want to have the conditions for keeping these fish.

Excelente gu�a para aficionados y experimentados

Este libro tiene todos los temas que un principiante y un conocedor del tema esperan encontrar; la claridad y profundidad con la que se habla sobre el Rey del acuario de agua dulce ayuda a entender mejor su comportamiento, su habitat, su alimentaci�n y en fin todo lo relevante de este pez.

Just OK

This is one of the most up to date discus books, but it is really not that informative for a beginner to the breed. It does offer pics of some of the newer strains, but is not the complete reference it claims it is.
