Regal Discus Fish specialise in stocking and breeding from quality Discus fish supplied by the German champion breeder Jorg Stendker. Keeping Discus Fish used to be difficult as little was known about them and the water requirements.

Today Discus Fish must be one of the most documented fish known, just browse the web for books on the subject and there are loads of them.

Such knowledge and the affordable availability of Reverse Osmosis units, test kits, Ph meters etc has made the hobby affordable and not much more difficult than keeping normal tropical fish.

Providing the Discus fishkeeper gets his valued Discus from a specialist Discus Fish supplier few problems should be encountered. A few ailments should be watched for and these are described in my ailments and remedy section.

These observations are from experience of keeping & breeding many hundreds over the years. German or European such as Stendker discus are more my first choice due to there robust nature, large size and can be kept is harder water than that of the Asian variety.

This has also contributed to the success of many Discus Fish keepers in the UK.
