    Okay, I called Sobeys and they said that they do have Rooibos tea but its from Tetley and they arent sure if its organic or not. Should I purchase it? Thank you?

    Actually, just called Superstore and found pure Roobios tea. Its the only ingredient. I assume this is the better option. Let me know, thanks.]

The only difference between some of our resident discus brainiacs and the authors of discus books is that the authors have written books. But having written a book doesn't make you an expert either. Just sayin...

    Look on Amazon. It's cheap there. https://www.amazon.com/Davidsons-Tea...qid=1572892356

    Its $20 for me on Amazon.ca. The one at super store is $12. I might get the super store and then order Davidsons and compare them. Thanks Liz.

    These Discus go off their spawning cycle, it may take awhile to get back.

    Mine usually go through a period where they are not interested in spawning. Then, when they get in the mood, they spawn every two weeks or so.

    I changed things up a bit. I bought peat from Fluval instead of tea and I got some free Java moss. They are waayyyy more active and love the tannins. I guess I made the right choice? Lol

    Super Happy r now. The Marlboro pair are beginning to get into the mood. I saw the male shiver once quickly. Then the female swam up to him a few moments later and put her fins out fully erect and sort of straightened out. Then after a few minutes I saw her peck at the cone once or twice. Yay!

    How long does it usually take after the change to spawn? A week, two weeks? Thanks
