Guarani Discus has existed since September 2007 first as amateur and then as a professional in February 2009

Y FD : Before you create your business the discus were a hobby, can you tell us?

A GD : My passion for the Discus began in 1988, at the time I had an aquarium of 300 litres, I did not make preparations of water as today because internet did not exist. I was several kilometres to get a few books available.
After a period of learning sometimes laborious, my efforts began to pay and it is only in 1994 that I had my first breeding of discus with a couple red turquoise.

Y FD : Guarani discus why this name for your business?

A GD : In winter 2004 and 2005 I spent a few months in the Amazon or I discovered people and beautiful culture of the Brazil including the Indian Guarani. It is then that he came me the idea of using the "Guarani Discus" name for my company.

Y FD : Many discussophiles dream to go and see the discus in their natural environment, you who have lived in the Brazil, have you some beautiful stories to tell about it?

A GD : For several years I exercised the diving instructor profession which allowed me to visit several countries and many cultures. One of my most beautiful diving is carried out in the Amazon or I could meet the wild discus, the first time that I saw him in the wilderness was a huge emotion I wanted to in again and again. During this period I have had the opportunity to meet with my supplier of discus wild.

Y FD : Regards water for your discus, How do you?

A GD : For the preparation of my water, I use water demineralized by ion-exchange, the Kati system&ANI which is first filtered with a particulate filter and a charcoal filter. Then the water is remineralized with mineral salts Preis for discus and inlet to the good settings (pH, GH, KH, Conductivity, etc.)
