Thanks!

One of your best videos yet on Breeding Discus. A Lot of information in this one. Thank you.

You have really made some great strides in raising Discus George. I would love to have some of these. Great video as always my friend.

These babies are looking beautiful. I love the way you have setup this tank. Having the portable inserts to lighten the tank is brilliant... no pun intended. Thanks George

These Discus are beautiful, and the babies are really starting to grow. Thank you for the very detailed and informative video.

This is a very interesting process to see how things are moving along. Looks good from where I am sitting!

They are doing great. Eating almost anything I feed them.

Wow they have grown since a few weeks ago. The tank is absolutely beautifully kept. I love the corrugated plastic inserts and your brine Shrimp setup. Thanks as always

Fantastic video sir. I love the content. So full of really informative information. Good luck with the babies and the grow out. Let me know if you are selling any? I really like the color.

Congrats with your success. Very nice looking discus👌🏻 What kind of strain are they?

Great video thank you. Are you using a return pump in the rear chamber? I also have a few WB 20G but always assumed the flow would be too great for the fry. Would love to use them to keep the heater out of the display and remove the sponge filter. What are your thoughts on using Methylene Blue? I see it recommended by various online folks but seems unnecessary with frequent water changes. Also, I see Wormer Plus (Cloverleaf) used to reduce the loss of fry during the 4-week syndrome. Just wanted to see if you use those at all during your process. Thank you again for your channel. Have enjoyed it for a long time and look forward to the updates 🙂

I have as you can see in the video, placed some screening over the return. I also have put a small piece of sponge in the output area to reduce the flow or current. It works great. As far as medications are concerned, I have not used any. I do the water changes and that seems to keep any disease or parasites from being an issue. Thanks for supporting the channel!

You talk on the water parameters being “within professional guides” are you referring to Gabe’s way of breeding his wild discus ? Or are you referring to DIY King’s parameters he mentioned when he was posting about his discus? Other than that this video is great quality for actually raising the fry. Spectacular detail on the water changes and feeding style. I’m curious to what your PPM and PH was when you were able to enable the eggs to be properly fertilized. I know that conductivity can impede the fertilization process by diluting the embryo so did you use RO DI water? Or do you age your water? If you use reverse osmosis do you dilute your water with tap water ? And do you dial back the RO water dilution over the course of the age of the fry? As I said great video on the raising of the fry themselves and I will for sure reference this video a lot in the future. Thanks !

Thank you for the questions. I was referring to the Professional Guidelines I go by as far as breeding pairs that are of the same Lineage. I was not talking about water values. I am happy to share with you what my Water Parameters are. I use strictly tap water right out of my sink. We are blessed with great water here just south of Seattle. My pH runs at 7.9 and my water hardness is at 3 dGH (or 50 ppm) I have been able to breed both Discus and Angelfish with just water from my tap. I firmly believe it is more about pH stability than it is about the actual # unless you are off the charts or trying to breed wild Discus. That can be an issue. I also use Seachem Prime with every water change and it has served me well. I have other videos where I get more into water parameters and you can check those out here on my channel. I have friends north of me who are breeding Discus with pH running in the 8.5-8.8 range and still having success. I hope I answered your question. I am not sure I would be doing this if I had to run RO or aged water. To much work for me. Thank you Kyle.

@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thank you for the reply, truly appreciated. I have been trying to breed with little success and have since paused my efforts until I am more educated in the process. Come to find out my issue was I had two females of different lineage pair up. I proceeded to set up a 36 gallon and have had it cycling empty on its own since my endeavors. I plan on trying again this winter and have been feverishly researching the processes. I live in Michigan and the water here comes out at 70 ppm hardness and a 7.8 ph . I may not have to add in my RO water and your information helps me confirm the theory to be tested come winter. On the note of breeding separate lineages, do you have any cautions as to the parents rejecting the babies due to the fry being different color then themselves ? Or anything in those regards? I would love to be able to see this miracle of the fry eating the slime coat off the parents in my own tank . I also hope to raise up a bunch of the fry to see what potential colors I could derive from the strains currently out there. I imagine the satisfaction of having a group of fry grow up under your care is something to behold and these guys are truly breathtaking . Thanks again for all the information and I will definitely check out those other videos you have .

Please, I have a question about the discs. I have more than one pair, and every time the eggs are laid directly from the second day, the eggs rot. Note that I use Arrow water

Great vid! So i have a pair of discus that spawned i removed the fry from the parents and they have not spawned since. The fry are 4 months old now and still no spawning from the parents. Any advice to how to get them to spawn again?

@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto

The usual stimulation. I would feed them some live or freeze dried blackworms and raise the temp up and down to stimulate a natural environment for spawning. Look to nature and you will find the answers. It is not uncommon to see pairs take a break sometimes after the babies have been removed. How long has it been since the fry were removed?

@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto its been about 3 months since I removed the fry. I do bring the water temps down during water changes to try and stimulate them but that hasn’t been working. Last week i decided to put them into the community tank with 3 other discus see if that would trigger them.

hi sir im from philippines,i just want to know when were u started changing water 20-25%,after hatching eggs?

I wait until free swimming. I feed the parents very little until then. Make sure water temperatures are almost exact so you do not shock the fry.

What kind of filter are you using would like to see how you set up your tank 👍✌️🇨🇦

Thanks!
