msjinkzd= with this pair that came out of the ten discus they are with, my maintainance was pretty much every other day to every 2 days at a 70% w/c. Non aged water straight from the tap with dechlor. I bought them at the end of january from cary strong at great lakes discus and make my own food for them, when they were small i would feed them a lot.. pretty much as much as they could eat around 4 times a day, i varied their diet with mainly my special food, tetra bits, and omega one flake food.

Note: i did not have to do waterchanges everyday because there was rarely food left over to spoil the water since their appetites were so strong. They would eat everything i put in until they looked like they would explode

here they are in jan in my 40 gal the tanks have a very small layer of sand in the bottom since they were scared through the bottom at the inside of the stand for some reason

Congrats nice looking Discus.:thm:

you may want to place a breeding cone in the tank as they will continue to spawn. heaters are not the best place for them to lay their eggs

are they in their own tank?

 

[j-gens]

they are not in their own tank yet they are housed with 8 other discus, and yea i know im going to get a breeding cone for them, i really was not expecting a spawn at 7 months old and let alone on a heater that is layed horizontally, i unplugged it for them.

im going to let them try to spawn in that tank a few more times before moving them to their own tank that way they build up some good parenting instincts

That happens a lot with the young spawners. I'm familiar with Cary from over on Simply, he's got awesome discus!

7-8 months has been heard of for discus to spawn. Some believe that certain strains are more capable of spawning earlier than others.

Cary does have some nice fish. Fantastic white butterflies, blue diamonds/angel diamonds, and red bodied discus.
