You proved that you could keep discus? Are you sure? Fungus after 2 days ownership - no clue how to treat it... Problems of "Bullying" resulting in you trying to trade a crap discus for 3-4 more... You must be a discus god, having kept them for all of what a month now?

When you have pictures of some >6" discus, in good health, and manage to keep them alive (All of them, no trading, no replacements due to death) for a period of over a year... Then yes, we may concede that you MIGHT be able to keep discus.

But like your cardinals, clowns, rams, angels, saltwater tanks... These too will die. Too bad your aspirations of being a breeder don't seem to. For some strange reason, you seem to always have disease and death issues but "it wasn't my fault" it's always the "Crap fish" the "Damn fish shop" etc etc etc - never the responsibility of the keeper.

A large part of fish keeping is patience, it's great to have enthusiasm and want to try new things. But repeatedly sending fish to their deaths due to your lack of research, ineptitude and ego is entirely unnacceptable.

Keeping the fish alive is a moot point. You've gotta be able to provide it a good environment and a good quality of life. Stop thinking of making money by breeding fish - and start caring for the fish.
