Welcome to the re-launch of the WRG Discus-Edinburgh web site. To make things clearer we have changed the name so that everyone will know where to find us.

My name is Bob Grainger and I have been keeping Tropical Fish for over 40 years.  For the past 12 years I have specialised in Discus. As a dedicated hobbyist, I decided in 1998 to set up the original web site with the help of my wife Diane, so that we could share our enthusiasm for quality discus with others. This continues to be the case, and many long hours have been spent talking with like-minded people as we share our experiences of keeping discus

Over the past 10 years I have continued to attend the bi-annual International Discus Show  in Duisburg, Germany. It is always an inspiration to see the wonderful discus  on show and  to renew acquaintances with top people in the world of Discus, such as, Jack Wattley,   Cor Visser, Hans of Hans Discus, Bernd Degen and Walter of DPH: also to meet David Limm and Geoffrey Tang.  At each show there have been new strains and colours of discus to see and learn about, as new breeders exhibit.

On the home front in 2007 and 2008 I attended the UKDA shows at Hayling Island in the south of England. I even managed to exhibit, with my fish doing well. More recently I enjoyed my first visit to the BIDKA show at Haydock Park in April 2011. It is good that we have national shows in the UK as well as lots of local clubs bringing fish enthusiasts together.
