Last month took the sixth discus show in Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. International judges have rendered their verdict and I invite you to discover this contest in the heart of one of the great nations of the discus.
I would like to thank Allan Chang of CLC Discus Enterprise (CLC Discus) for his videos and friends Raymond Lee, Victor Lim, Cüneyt Birol, Jeffrey Tan, Kelvin Tham and Veekeong Koo without whom this article n ’ could see the day. (VIDEO OF THE WINNERS)
Their help was invaluable and I dedicate them this… Thanks for all my friends !
First, plant the sets! For it is on the 15th floor of the "Kenanga Wholesale City" that took place this event. With no away from 300 dedicated to the discus aquariums…
A temperature of more than 30 Celsius associated with a 90% RH… ideal for the discus but can be a little less for l ’ Homo sapiens !
At any time, Click on the images to enlarge them, and enjoy!.

Hi Yann and thank you for this report.
Can you tell us more about IP Discus, Tony Tan exposes fish from its production to its customers, that's it ?
A David
Hello David,
Tony owns several "small" of livestock structures. This is a great breeder, very sympatic. I know him since few years now. This is Annie fire "discus farm" that had me present this breeder. It is a very humble person (thing that I appreciate in our hobby…) and most importantly, It is a humorous person. I appreciate him very much.
In their commercial approach, these breeders have an "agent" for a certain geographic area. Tony therefore present his fishs with its partners, just simply.
Were present in Malaysia for this event several partners.

I was at the Malaysia competition, Indeed, the way to the conduct of the awards is really special.the fish belongs to the farm and it is presented by a store or a Member, the Cup returned to the personne who present the fish, but the money goes in the pocket of the fishfarmer. Curious how they proceed, but it has the merit of being clear. For the organization we should take example with a Minister that comes, When this will arrive for us also!!! After the show I went to Penang where i go regularly and the Discus which will never be for the France, because of the prices and will leave for Japan or Iran or Hong Kong where prices are very high 3000 or 4000 $ or sometime more. I did documentaries on the subject, and for the month of October I will be in the Amazon from Iquitos starting of our expedition on the selva Viva for new adventures last November I was in the Nhamundã, filming Discus Blue-headed.

Excellent! It’s always exciting to see top fish and who is breeding them. Good luck!
Hi Mary! I’m happy to hear that you enjoy the report!
Happy discus keeping!
And see you on Fanatik-Discus!

Hello Yann, very nice article, as always, really beautiful work.
I agree with Leleu. In the global discus world it is not easy to make the road for small discus breeders, even if the fish are very good quality. it is always the same who win with fish not all from the same owner. I also like the Asian fish and also Tony Tan, Jeffrey Tan, Jeffrey Yang, Lee Tong Juan, Ivan Seah, Ricky Lim, Goh Eng Khoon, Chen Huan Kai, Roy Koo, Wayne Ng, etc etc… These last 12 years, I bought and spent lot of money at home, but the results are not entirely satisfactory. Now I would like to see the new European Championship in Dortmund. I hope not to see always the same Asian discus breeders or their European partners. But I hope to see some new discus really MADE IN EU. Otherwise this is no longer the penalty to do discus breeding.
