  • Discover Discus!
    Discover discus! Copyright © Practical Fishkeeping Create a home fit for the king of fish with Nathan Hill’s step-by-step guide. Not only has the discus long been revered as the king of fishes, with a wealth of literature dedicated to its name, but Stendker discus could quite rightfully claim to be the pinnacles of royal bloodlines. These are fish that have been groomed for their place within the aquatic monarchy. With many desirable species, there’s a trade off; beauty is often difficult to maintain. Or at least it used to be, and that’s why discus keepers were for so many years regarded with a kind of reverence. Discus were always demanding fish, requiring exacting water conditions and near clinical care. To take them on was to divert huge tracts of energy into their upkeep, with frequent water changes from trusted supplies. Price affects how craved a fish is, and discus have always, without respite, commanded hefty fees. In the early days, back when a pint of beer would cost you pennies, they could sit at prices in excess of £100 a fish. Early keepers, prepared to splash out such a sum and then invest so much in maintenance, moved themselves into the 'elite' of aquarists if for nothing more than wanton spending. Discus were the Bentleys or Ferraris of the fish world. Today, quality breeding pairs can set you back well in excess of £250 and it’s rare to find young fish for under £15 each. Mass farming techniques have all but destroyed the bloodlines and value of some and drastically improved others.

Although we are justifiably proud that the event is staged under the Federation’s banner (with more than a little help from our friends in the Aquatic Trade), the most important thing is, as our President pointed out during the Festival, is that aquarists everywhere in the UK support the event to ensure that it continues to bring so many hobbyists together under one roof – well, five canvas ones, if you want to be accurate. Reflecting the diverse content of the Festival, we hope you will enjoy this collection of aquatic themes we have gathered together for you in this issue.
