Those are some really interesting photos. Probably because I live in the Sonoran desert, tropical areas are fascinating to me. Your pictures let me visit without traveling half way around to world. Thanks

Somewhere I read that most of the fish sold for aquariums started out as the plain looking wild varities which were subsequently put into a selective breeding program. One exception I know of is wild caught angelfish.

I'm kind of stuck on raising mostly angelfish and have never had Discus. I do know, however, that Discus are expensive and very sensitive to water conditions. Although they are quite beautiful, Discus are best left to experienced aquarists.

It's always best to start out with something easy so when you make a mistake it isn't too costly. If you start out with delicate, expensive fish, you can end up getting discouraged and missing a great hobby.
