First spawn in the community tank

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 ?

[Mattgoanna]

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.

Congratulation on the fish ,also very clean and nice tank .
I live in Melbourne and have a similar water parameter to you and have 9 adult discus in 500 l tank with 10 l w/c per day and 50% w/c at the end of the week ,what do you feed your fish ,how much and how often ?

[Mattgoanna]

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