Just checked the PPM in my pairs breeding tank.

It's reading at 380?! is this too high or is this not a problem?

Thank you!

It's been done before but fertile rate will be poor.
Your looking at numbers under 100ppm but lower will be better to offer a simple answer.

Thanks Ralph. I have an angel pair that are currently producing fry in the same water, the hatch rate is around 90%. Will this be any different for this discus?

I would lure more towards yes...but give it a go and see what happens. They will lay again so can determine if your current water conditions need to be altered.
