OldTimer    Mega Fish USAF Retired Posts: 1181 Kudos: 1294 Votes: 809 Registered: 08-Feb-2005 | I think that the discus should always be known as the "King" of freshwater aquarium fish, kind of like Elvis will always be known as the "King" of rock-n-roll. Showing my age again I know, but somethings are just for the best.   :88):88):88) |

| Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004 | Got to agree with LittleMousling on the Frontosa. What do you consider the basis for the title King/Queen? |

| Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004 | Discus and angels, IMO, lack personality (something that I discovered firsthand in my discus/angel days). The frontosa looks more like an amberjack than a discus to me, the amberjack being the saltwater fish most commonly referred to as "kingfish". Last edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles at 23-Mar-2005 02:14 |
