Mr. Andrew Soh ci regala in anteprima assoluta la prefazione del suo nuovo libro![]() Having published my first book, ‘Discus, the Naked Truth’ in May 2005, I thought that work on a second publication on discus would be unnecessary since the first had covered a wide range of issues pertaining to ‘Best Discus Practices’. Though I have tried to insert as much information as possible in the first book, further inclusion was restricted by the limitation of space. It definitely needed more than a 170 pages book to do that. I hope both hobbyists and professional breeders have gained some pointers from reading my first book.

Simply put, it is expected to be better!!! Anyway, this second book will still run along the line of ‘Truth’ and is basically, ‘My Truth’. Why is it not the truth of the discus industry? As I have mentioned in my first book, everything from feed-formulation to disease-treatment to discus-parentage are secrets to commercial breeders and many are unwilling to share their personally acquired knowledge and discoveries with others. Therefore, there is one thing I need to be honest with you. The information I disseminate and share with readers in both my books are not compilation of information received from other breeders, the industry nor other written works but mostly from my personal experience, researches and indulgence in this ornamental fish industry. If you are amazed with the information disseminated and feel enlightened, it depicts that I have gone through lots of research and development…a lot of suffering, pain and sorrow…much more than what others might have experienced. If you feel that the information given is short of your expectation, I
