    Of course if your goal is quantity and especially if you're in the trade you need to do it as efficiently and bountiful as possible.
    I was under the assumption we were talking about hobiest breeding for their own pleasure and stock... So I think it is doable and maybe with some added benefit.
    Like mentioned earlier, my current pair are bb.

    I'm about as small time a hobby breeder as they come. I still try to keep conditions as good as possible.

So it is more about what you want not what others think. If 1-2 of 100 fry is acceptable to you then that is your prerogative. Please lets not go with the AMAZON debate unless your willing to run your hose 24/7 in your planted discus tank then give the results.Attachment 124014
    PS These are what I would consider fry.

    Is that your fish with fry and when will they be available for sale
