    Congrats Matt. It's sure a real treat seeing your discus raising little babies in the display planted tank .
    Nice work with the divider too .
    So what are your parameters in this tank and did you lowered them further for the breeding purpose ?

    My pH is normally around 6.5 and I just use easy-life fluid filter medium to induce spawning. While others may not agree, after many years of keeping and breeding I find a diet high in tetra colour bits is one of the most important ingredients for keeping and breeding healthy discus.
    Note that I also do one 10 litre water change per day and one 50 litre change per week. There are 7 adult discus in 200 litres.

    Hi Sayid
    I feed about 5 times per day as much as they can eat. Tetra bits, tropical wild pellets and frozen blood worm.
