Discus & Cichlid Expert · 15+ years in the hobby
Priya has bred discus commercially in Leicester since 2016 — supplying Tropical Fish Co and two other UK retailers with F1 tank-bred juveniles. Before that she spent seven years on South American dwarf cichlids. Her discus and cichlid guides on this site are written from the perspective of someone who has actually hatched, grown out, and shipped the fish — not from library research alone.
