Removed confirmed pair to breeding tank now what?

[BlueBull]

Hi all

first time breeding Discus. Confirmed pair but since I moved them to a breeding tank earlier, they no longer do the sex dance or concentrate on a spot in the tank. Just swim here and there.

how long and what should I do for encourage them to get horny again?

Hi

You put them in their own tank, that is good, a 29 gal is good choice.

Drop the temp to 82. Put a cone in the tank, dim lights.

They may stand off each other for up to a month after the move.

Or show dirty movies ;D Joking.

Check with Carrol thats her topic.

It may take several weeks for them to get settled back in and breeding

try keeping the same water paremeters for a few weeks then hit them with a large change of something different. cooler water, ro water, or if you use ro mix now then hit them with a tap change. should have them going within a month. if not just be patient they will in time.

Hi

so a month is the time frame I should be looking at huh?

maybe should try dim the lights, add some whisky into the water, and show some erotic movies in front of the tank..... :P

I've found that playing some Barry White and burning candles helps too! :P

have you gf/wife give you a nice lap dance, not sure if it'll help the fish but heh, if she buys it ;D
