hi
I have a pair of discus. I bought about a month that I'm kept in a tank with a volume of 20 gallons.
Temperature: 28 c
ph: 7.4
Siphon water a day among 25% of the water tank to be replaced.
Food: Beef Heart, 3 meals a day
Spawning location: Cone
What should we do, where they spawn?

Well your pH is a bit high, 6.5 would be more ideal for breeding. Though if you bought them a month ago they're still getting settled in. They take a while to get used to the surrounding area. Just be patent and they'll spawn in their own time.

Thanks
But I'm just going to grow. I just want that this pair would spawn.
The experts want to help me in this regard.
Thanks

You have to provide more information. Are the pair proven? Is the source you bought them from reliable when they say "pair"? Or do you just have 2 discus you want to breed.

Hello
I discus about a month ago I went to the store, and I bought a pair, but it does not spawn any news!
For this case, what should I do, that these pairs are encouraged to spawn?

I lower the water hardness of tetra-aqua ph / kh minus I use.
I water 3 to 4 degrees and ph dkh between 6.3 to 6.4 is water.
Whether this drug is not harmful to fish?
It is suitable for spawning?

Besides patients, you could lower the temp by a couple degrees for a couple days. You could give them more variety of foods like live blackworms. You could separate them for a couple days and then reintroduce.

I added a female to one of my males and within 2 days they spawned. So it could just be they are not in the mood. Maybe soft light, some smooth jazz some wine?

Back to my original question...are they really a pair? A store might sell you 2 discus and say they are a pair. Have they spawned before? Or did you just go buy 2 fish hoping for a pair?

White light is always on top of the aquarium.
Blood worms are good for eating?

No.
Spawning condition of the seller gave me a pair.

hahaha TERPS is totally right, you could play them 'sexual healing' day and night for a couple of days. or bring your big screen computer to your tank, open up YOUTUBE and search 'discus spawning', just to show them how its done lol just kidding. Patience is the key my friend. my tank is 55g, ph 6.5 - 7, i use peat to make the water pretty, feed them twice a day, low light, and they spawn every now and then at least once a month.

skip the water changes for a week and let the tank get dirty,then wipe down everything wring out your sponges and do a 100% water change with slightlly cooler water.
