    I removed the other discus and put them on the other side of the foam divider and they didn't seem to react too much. So far they are still taking turns at the spawning site. Maybe there is a chance they will hatch

    Congrats! Beautiful pair. Boy would I kill to have that water come out of my tap! Instead I have pH 9.3 and 360 TDS. Gotta love the Rocky Mountains! Best of luck to you!

    Pat,

    The other 2 pair I left in the 77G are dancing and shaking again, but still no real action.

    Trish, this is where Len is not going to feed or do WC for about three days on a tank containing two pairs of these blues who only seem to need a trigger to spawn. So on the third or fourth day you do a big WC and feed heavy to simulate the start of the wet season when the rains flood the river system being lots of clean cooler water with lots of food.
