Discus can be a big challenge. Slightly brackish water. When one gets sick, they ALL get sick. But if you can do it right, it's very rewarding. They are very beautiful fish. If you haven't been to The Wet Spot on NE Hancock (Hollywood District), I highly recommend it. So much selection, super-high quality. It's freshwater and brackish only, no saltwater (at least as of the last time I was there a year ago).
