To discus hobbiest . I want to know how you guy quarentee your discus before putting them into you main tank . What kind of quarentee setup ? any medication ? deworm? and How long ? .. thanks

Daniel,
First of all, how do you define quarantine and what are your main objectives for quarantine fish?
The reason why I ask is because my definition may be way different from yours.

Round Head ,
I want to know what is best way to do . I heard a lot of them carry some kind of diseases which can kill your whole stock . One of my friends use bare tank with heater, air pump, sponge filter and dosing Rid Ick and feed the fish with some kind of Medicated fish( I don't remember the name, but in red bottle made by USA) for 2 observed weeks. His fishes is okay and healthy so I assumed that it good way to quarantee the fish . I think there always more than one good way to quarantee.

OK, I'll share with you of my long history with discus.
First of all, you got to know where your fish are from.
Usualy LFS discus are crap, but there are LFS who get their fish from local breeders.
If you are serious about discus, I recommend you to collect all of your discus from one particular breeder may he be local or shipped or from one LFS.
This way all of your fish are from the same water and if there is an outbreak of some sort, you can get back to one person; no blame games this way. And also no quarantine either because they will either be all disease free or all sick.

The quarantine comes into play when you add new fish from different source.
Most people will tell you that new fish may carry disease, but sometimes your resident fish although seem healthy may harbor diseases which they are immune to and hence can infect your new fish. Sound complicated but it is true.
If you are in this situation, let me know and I will let you know how I quarantine them. But I guaranty that you won't like it.
But if you are just getting your first batch of discus, you don't need to quarantine them. Just make sure they are healthy and eating well. Hint, if your LFS feeds them live worms, then just walk out the door. You don't want those fish, they are trouble to come. What you want to see is discus eating pellets and frozen foods. But make sure they are actually eating the food to fill up a bulging belly because most unhealthy discus will mouth food but then spits them out.

Good luck.

Round Head. thank for the tip bro . The problem is I get different specimens at different places . I tried to get a lot of them in one places, but LFS is not always carrying many nice ones.

PS.I will ask the owner to feed them pellets. I always like fish eating pellet over live food.

Good for you.
I can tell you off the bat that healthy discus are not hard to feed.
I use to feed mine Tetra Color Bits, Hikari discus red, Hikari cichlid complete, hikari marine A & S, frozen mysis shrimp.
I don't see the need to quarantine healthy discus from similiar geographic locations.
Why treat them if they are healthy and what would you treat them with, right?
Getting imported fish is another thing so be careful because there are diseases yet to be known.
Some of these disease may be dormant or they are immune by the fish, yet fish of different waters and locations can be influenced quick. And it only takes one drop of diseased water to get your entire stock sick.

Keep up with your water changes like 10% daily and keep them warm (young fish in the 90F and adults at 86F). Do give them rock salt ones in a while.

Good luck.

Hi bro . Oh Yeah I have a couple can of Tetra Color Bits around. I use to feed my Electric Blue Jack Demsey . They are ok if live in same condition . I checked with LFS and most of them are transhipped from ThaiLan, Malaysia, and Viet Nam, so that is worry me. Some of them are amazing, but you know ... hard to tell . I am looking around for local breeder , so I can make sure that they are already adapted.
