For those wanting it, the second volume of Heiko Bleher's massive discus book, Bleher's Discus, is out. It's not cheap, but should be well worth it. The first awesome volume covered the history of wild discus. This volume is more about breeding in the aquarium. Supposedly, a third volume is mostly written and will soon follow. Here's a rough table of contents for volume 2:
– Discus breeding
– The first breeders
– Dr Schmidt-Focke’s work
– Breeders of the last 60 years
– Summary of discus breeding
– Discus variants in aquaria worldwide
– The latest cultivated forms & sports
– New wild-caught forms & collecting sites
