Tony Silva has kept and bred discus for more than 30 years. His interest in discus has taken him to Brazil, Peru and Colombia, where he has observed discus in their native habitat. He has met with aquarists from Australia to Zimbabwe to exchange information and ideas.

Tony wrote the Discus in Depth column for Freshwater And Marine Aquarium (FAMA) magazine from 2005 to 2009. The Discus in Depth column is now a FishChannel Exclusive.
