bart687 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Is there anybody out there that has any suggestions about Dicus? as I have tried to breed them as I have seven and two small one's, But adults I have put into my breeding tank and I have found out that the five adult fish are females as they lay there eggs and by two days the eggs they are gone help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 It's unlikely that those 5 discus are all female and laying eggs. Check out: http://www.simplydiscus.com/library/bre ... ning.shtml PS something the article doesn't mention is using a barebottom tank. 29gallons (120litre) is ideal. Have only a few things in the tank like a spawning cone, this makes it easy for the fry to find the parents as they eat the slime off their sides. Use sponge filters. Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand discus man Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hi phill collis here..the discus will only breed when good and ready..i have imported 180 near adult and only 3 pairs have actually got to do something.. i use fine river sand and under gravel filters with nylon wool to stop sand getting through. if you have lots of tanks you cannot keep clear bottoms clean..babies will not be lost in sand..i net rubbish from bottom and nature looks after the rest.. the only way to get results from discus is to have plenty... see my profile..cheers phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
