This book celebrates the beauty of discus. For enthusiasts, it provides pinpoint advice on what to look for in selecting show quality discus and how they are judged in competitions. For breeders, it offers suggestions on how to improve existing strains and pursue new ones. With over 270 color pictures, it is also a photo journal of Trophy Discus. 128 pages, hardcover.
For the astute reader, this is an exquisite book well worth the hardcover price. It is certainly not a book for the beginning aquarist, but it is a "must read" for anyone with a serious interest in this beautiful fish. I would call this a graduate level text for the genre. The reader will be rewarded if they have significant experience with freshwater fishkeeping and a genuine interest in the discus.
