Who Gives A Fish Forums

Re: German and Asian

I'm a mixer, no issues here. My first six discus came from local stores, no idea about their heritage. Then I got six Hans discus, these fish are super strong, zero problems. Just got eight more, they're all living together in a planted tank. For me, clean water and proper quarantine are the key. I also got two from Uncle Sam's, they're doing fine, just not growing as big as Hans' fish. Clean water and QT, that's my secret.

Re: German and Asian

If you bought from Kenny recently, chances are they're Malaysian.

Re: German and Asian
They're arriving next week, still deciding where they'll go.

Re: German and Asian
I've got a mix going on. Started with 6 from local stores - no idea where they came from. Then I got 6 Hans discus, and they're rock-solid, zero issues. Just got 8 more, and I also picked up 2 from Uncle Sams. Those ones haven't grown as big as the Hans discus, but still no problems. They all live together in a planted tank. For me, it's all about clean water and quarantine - that's the key.

Re: German and Asian

Asian and European discus are essentially the same, one species with varying regional characteristics. Georg Stendker's remarriage seems to have marked a shift in marketing strategy, now more focused on persuasion than science.
