    Talk to Mark (Discus Origins). These Cuipeua came from him last year. He may still have some red based wilds left.

    Thanks Yun, pretty simple, nine discus in a 230 with two 50% WCs per week. 1/3 tap to 2/3 RO targeting a TDS of around 80 to 100. I may need to go a little lower with these guys since they are eating the wigglers. The tank has a sump and I change out the filter media (not bio) as needed every week or two as needed. Temp on the tank while spawning is about 78. 82 otherwise.

    Yun, there are a herd of sterbai and three whiptail catfish (actually a pleco) and two tetras I have not been able to catch. With these wilds wanting to breed all the time I am learning the value of a discus only tank.

    I could always use some help. How do you feel about a barn.

    Pat,

    They continue to eat wigglers even though the pair is separated?
