My name is Vern Archer, I am retired and devote much of my time keeping and breeding Discus. I was a member and editor of the North American Discus Society's quarterly magazine and club supporter for a number of years. During that time I had the pleasure of meeting and exchanging knowledge and experiences from the world's top Discus breeders and hobbyists.

In our hatchery we focus on only the best pairs and producing quality rather than quantity. I hope to support the hobbyist by passing on the knowledge I have gained over the years.  Have a question about discus? Please drop me an email archer@rogers.com and I will try my best to help.

The Goal of this website is to post general information, on the care and keeping of Discus, through past articles from such publications as the North American Discus Society's "Our Discus".  I plan to inject my thoughts and concerns on various topics as well.   

We have developed a frozen food over the years and are now producing it for sale. We feed it nearly exclusively for maximum health and growth.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to ship, we are in Whitby, just east of Toronto, pickup only and by appointment. Please email archer@rogers.com ahead of time to confirm a date and time.

We keep our pricing reasonable with a focus on after sale support. We emphasize feeding young Discus a quality food with a minimum 3 feeding's per day and to be kept at 86 degrees for maximum growth and health. We suggest not keeping them in a community tank, or at least until they have matured into adults. There are many good books out there on the Care and keeping of Discus and I encourage you to make the investment. An early book by Jack Wattley called "The Handbook of Discus" is a good start. For the more advanced hobbyist I recomend either book by Andrew Soh, his new one "Problems and Solutions" and his first book "Naked Truth".

In closing, if you're just starting out, or a serious Discus hobbyist, I hope the articles and Information posted helps you on your journey.
