Discus care - is it really that hard?

[KristaM92]

Alright then, it's settled. I'll get some nice healthy adult discus.
I already do twice weekly 30% water changed on all my other tanks so the discus shouldn't be a problem. I'm willing to put in a little extra care if I have to. Thanks!

A sure bet is to buy adult discus from a good source like Kenny's discus or discus's Han.
They should be at least 5inch TL, if you just want to do 1 or 2 wc/week. It's best to do 75-80% of your tank volume instead of 30%.
Feeding them high quality food that don't foul water like live or frozen CBW, Tera color granules, ON flakes ...
And have a group of at least 6 discus about the same size in a tank with compatible tank mates.
Good luck
