Discus vs Trophs/Petros

[wvgdiscus]

are you saying that trophs and petros are for beginners.

Russ if the shoe fits you will have to wear it.
No this is not the glass slipper thats for Nick only.

are you saying that trophs and petros are for beginners.i bet you could keep your discus alive a whole lot easier than a colony of longola or kasumbe petros!

I'll have to take your word on it, since I've never had an interest in petros or trophs - they look so misshapen to me. They look like neaderthal fish, but that is probably what some people like about them. However, after seeing the pictures on this thread, I must admit some of the colors are nice - just not as spectacular as discus.

Man, turn your back and this thread really grows.

All the pictures I posted are of different discus I have owned or currently own. (I've kept discus for more than 15 years, but of course I didn't have a digital camera that long ago - so pictures are probably from the past 7 years). All pictures were taken by me. I've had a lot of different types of discus.

I have more pics, but I got tired of posting. If Dan (formerly of HAW) ever decided to add to this thread, discus would win, but just in number of pictures/variants. There are more petro/troph lovers in fishkeeping. Discus always have been a remarkable fish, but certainly are not for the beginning or casual fishkeeper.

Who says a Discus is a wus. Mine will throw down and get it done. Now I know this isnt the best video as it is from my cell. But enjoy we should get some points for this.
