Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Breeding Discus Fish is a Question that every one have. This is a Video that I made about the Steps and things that I have done and also learnt from my experienced friends Mr. Al Castro ( From California, USA) to get success with Breeding Discus.
It is a long video which starts of with how to get a breeding pair or how to know if 2 fishes have paired up in your community tank.
The Tank setup and size
How to make a simple breeding cone
Water Parameters during breeding
The Breeding process and things to do after they lay the eggs.
Things to do after the eggs hatch
What to feed the newly born fries
When is the Ideal time to separate the babies from the parents.

Hi rahul sir.... For egg hatching can i turn the heater on ?? N wht temperature?
Hi from Pakistan, dear after watching you video I knew the importance of water chemistry for discus breeding tank, so I decided to buy a domestic RO filter which claims it will give 150 gallon of water per day, so now give me an advice it's a good choice to buy the system, because I don't want to buy RO water again and again. And should I also need a TDs measuring device along with RO water purifier?
Sir.. what should be the ph value for breeding?
Do we do water change after they lay eggs?
Sir I buy live bloodworms and I wash in potassium and forzen is good
How many time/day you feed that black worm stick on glass to fry sir? Is fry gonna die if feed to much?
Sir is the heater necessary....i live in south india

First time i shifted my pair in a separate tank (70x40x45cm) after spawning 3x in a community tank and got eaten by others. Any suggestions? I have 6.0 pH in my community tank and now pair shifted into a 6.8-7.0pH. How long it will take for them to lay again? I dont have RO water. Can i use some of my main tank water?
@FwrapperAqua

The pH is fine.. You need to also have a Tds below 100 for breeding... Rest is all OK.. Now give them some time to settle in the new tank.. And get used to the place.. Only then will start breeding....

Pour very little qty first till you get a light blue colour across the tank... Do not add too much... Also if you have decorative items remove them.. Because it will all catch up that blue colour
