the more hardy strains are pigeons and turquoise, or leopards.
try to get a group of 6 or so, juvies as they are shoal fishes.
sometimes hobbyists also can get if they bred extras around and can be had cheaper.
otherwise lfs like clementi will have stock regular.
all the best in ur new endeavor.

if pellets, can try hikari, tetra or tropical mainly.
what u get depends on ur wallet as always.
water conditions are important esp for discus, so u need a lot of time to spend on them.
