DISCUS-L Recommended Reading list
One of the best ways to learn about Discus and fish keeping in general
is to get your hands on various reference books and do as much reading
as possible.  The following books are recommended as starters.  There
are many others out there.  All comments are opinions of the List Owner.
Discus Fish - A Complete Pet Owner's Manual (1991)
Thomas A. Giovanetti
Barron's Educational Series
250 Wireless Boulevard
Hauppauge, NY 11788
ISBN 0-8120-4669-2
Comments: This is a relatively small and inexpensive book with lots of
          good information.  A must for beginners!
Discus Health (1991)
Dieter Untergasser
TFH Publications Inc
One TFH Plaza
Neptune City, NJ 07753
Comments: This book is rather expensive, but if you want to know just
          about anything about diseases, treatments, etc, it's worth it.
          Not the easiest book to use if you are simply trying to
          identify a disease based on a symptom your fish shows, but if
          you take the time to read the book through, it's probably in
          there somewhere.
Discus In the Community Tank
Bernd Degen
Tetra Press
Distributed in USA by
TetraSales (Division of Warner Lambert)
3001 Commerce Street
Blacksburg, VA 24060-6671
Comments: This is a good introductory book, both about Discus and about
          suitable companions for them if you keep Discus with other
          fish.  Although the food section is slanted heavily toward
          Tetra Bits (not that there's anything wrong with that; it's
          a good food) the information about Discus themselves and their
          companions is worthwhile.  This book is also relatively
          inexpensive.
