I used to keep discus many (read 30) years ago and they were the most fussy, finiky fish around. I have avoided them for many years until I was offerred some Turks cheap and was hooked again.
The new discus strains (rather than natural/wild fish) are so much easier to keep. Mine live in hard alkaline water and eat frozen and dry food (don't need live food).
I'm loving it.
Cheers
