    They are great but something wrong with my water, none of them pair up. I lost one due to upgrading bigger tank and it must be the biggest one.

    No worry, can't wait for them pair up. I haven't checked for long time but it was 490tds , 7.8-8 ph. They should be fine with tap water

    I thought the TDS had to be much lower for successful hatching? However, I have never bred discus, so please do not put any merit in my question, lol. I know you have bred them before so I'm sure you know what you are doing.
