Discus Breeding for Beginners Hardcover – January 1, 2000

I am a beginning fish hobbiest and am debating getting into Discus. I didn't expect the book to be terribly in depth (only 64 pages), but what I wasn't expecting were the fabulous pictures! Good info, great pictures.

Purchased it for my husband to help him gain more knowledge on a breed he had not yet bred. He has read the book and thought it to be informative and helpful.

Great book with very good information regarding Discus fish.

The book was in good condition, and the price was good too.

Good read! Very good use of pictures to support the content of the book. And thankfully there aren't too many pics!

This is probably the best source of information if you want to start breeding discus, and I should know I'm just rearing my first batch of over 100 fry! There are lots of pictures, great for seeing how it's done. I would have appreciated even more of a "how-to" but there's lots of information online for that. The challenge is, there are some differences of opinion on how to raise discus fry and some conflicting ideas. This authoritative book worked for me. As suggested by the author, I let the parents raise them the first two weeks and with this book on hand I knew what to do, and when, should something go wrong (like when the female started fighting with the male and eating fry). The fry are just 3 weeks old and doing well in their own tank. Now the question is, what do you do with tankfuls of 100 or so discus...

the book's title lacks connection with the content which spends little time on the topic of breeding. Generally the book is excellenet clearly wiritten and useful but fails to deliver on the title.

The first,I want send greeting to Jack Wattley for his magnificent,excellent book for all beginers. In this book author tells us everything,about right water for discus,about purchasing and selecting good stock,about feeding discus,about disease, about breeding and hatching artificially!!!He teach us the techniques to raise and breed discus.
