How to breed Discus - My breeding setup

[@nicksfishroom915]

Just got into Discus in my fish room. I'm on a great well that delivers water at 65-80 tds. Hopefully, I'll get my Discus breeding!

[@AquariumAdventures]

+Nicks Fishroom good luck!

[@siddharthrm6385]

Hey don't mind me but what is the full form of TDS .

[@lambopsyche7695]

@Siddharth Totally Dissolved Solids

[@jaymzmeh4595]

I just bought one of those nifty filters for my breeding tank. I use sponge filters on all my intake tubes on my HOB and canister filters. I swap them out and put them on new filters. Great way to seed your new filters.👍✌️

[@meyaded]

i love your vidio

[@EuroGupper]

Is the TDS also a problem with Stendker Discus? Those are hardwater Discus

[@jonathanfuller6055]

May I ask why you moved the fish when the original was of similar size and was plumbed all easier for water changes?

[@TMAquatics]

I used to keep discus. One of my tanks was open top. Sadly, I learned the hard way they discus can jump out of a tank. Tops also help maintain consistent temps and prevent dust and other bad things to find their way in. Would hate to see anything bad happen to those beautiful fish. You may never have a problem, but I prefer to be safe than sorry. 🤔

[@AquariumAdventures]

I too learned the hard way.

[@nicksfishroom915]

I'll get tops on my discus tanks tomorrow!

[@jeffedwards823]

3 of mine jumped

[@woutermarchee]

Witch filter did you say

[@thomasirwin6984]

What’s your KH out the tap? I’m in Cornwall, have 0 KH out the tap, TDS out the tap is about 100. I’ve been seeing my PH go from 6.2/6.5 out the tap down to 5 in 24 hours. I think this swings stopping them from spawning personally. Just wondering what your KH is? Raised mine to 1 now for some stability

[@cast8309]

I live in Spain, Madrid city. Water must be good because I did my 45 fish fry in a community tank.

[@BeccaGulliver]

They are a beautiful pair of fish.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

What buffer do you use to keep your PH at 6.5-6.8? Thank you.

[@SailTimeHouston]

You mentioned the water filter you use to filter your tap water but there not a link. Can you please share a Link? I am having hell with my tap water. I have and Aqua FX RODI unit as our water contains chloramines but I could not seem to get the mineral levels consistent enough for the discus to get into that comfort zone. I would add Replenish but it would then have issues maintaining consistent PH... I have lost two really nice Discus over the last three years and am getting VERY frustrated.

[@Hornbyttgingernerd]

I’d agree with the move to your office it’s great to watch and they will get used to you 👍🏻

[@muradalkaff]

My water ph is 6.5 and the TDS is 480 ppm and the temp is 26.5 C, they lay eggs but after 1.5 day the eggs become white, I do changes every second day. 1st day of laying eggs they are transparent, they stay for 1 or 2 days then they change to white eggs then they disappear. What seems to be the problem?

[@AquariumAdventures]

Sounds like they are not being fertilised - maybe two females?

[@muradalkaff]

@@AquariumAdventures No, I am sure that they’re not females. Some told me because of the water parameters, TDS is too high. Some say TDS is not a big deal. I’m confused

[@AquariumAdventures]

Your TDS is quite high - but not off the scale, I would expect just a lower yield of eggs. If you're sure you have a male, maybe he just isn't doing his job (fertilising them). If it is a new pair it can take some time - but sometimes it just never works out

[@muradalkaff]

@@AquariumAdventures I have two new pairs and same water parameters and same issue. My new plan is to use RO water and to be patient because they are still new. And appreciate your help.

[@phanfamilychicago2945]

So you used any filter for breeding set up tanks what the best temperature for them ?

[@AquariumAdventures]

sponge filter as shown in the video, and temp around 30 degrees. sometimes a cold water change can induce spawning

[@phanfamilychicago2945]

Aquarium Adventures how long does they spawn

[@boazshengjiunlim8165]

is it ok to use sponge filter? will it suck the discus fry on it?

[@DildoShwaggins-nh8ru]

If it's not too powerful it should be fine

[@michaelgorol1434]

Hello, what's your water chemistry for breeding setup ?

[@ryankursehuston]

Did they ever spawn?

[@ferdianbettafish3659]

So my discus pair is still 4,5" So I think they are not old enought for breeding but I want to place them at breeding tank. So do we need filter or sponge filter is enought?

[@AquariumAdventures]

Sponge filter is fine 👍

[@johnfloydman7735]

Fantastic , good luck with this one . Can't wait to see results .

[@cast8309]

how did it go?

[@saeedrahdari6461]

I changed the of the aquarium location in my home yesterday After that, I siphoned 30% of the water Unfortunately when I go ahead the aquarium The pair are afraid of me and go behind the sponge biofilter and hide from me

[@razorXblueXeyes]

What size tank are you using ??

[@AquariumAdventures]

This one is 24 x 12 x 18h (inches) but generally an 18" cube or above is good.

[@harveym5627]

How many litres is it?

[@AquariumAdventures]

Just shy of 70

[@harveym5627]

Thank you

[@rossfegan9443]

Hi mate what’s the minimum size for breeding tank? I’m just about to order one thanks

[@somudixith616]

Hi i am somu from India and i love discus i have 1 pair of discus in my aquarium and my question is what is the best temp for those fishs

[@AquariumAdventures]

Hi, 28 - 30 degrees Celsius is the optimum temp range. 👍

[@gabidavid8457]

how big is the tank ?

[@MARKLINMAN1]

What size is breeding size for Discus? Can a 4-5 inch discus breed? Thank you.

[@AquariumAdventures]

Yes, most of the pairs I've had formed around that size.

[@harveym5627]

What is a good/cheap tds meter

[@AquariumAdventures]

This is the one I use - amzn.to/325qiox

[@captainwin6333]

I had 6 discus in a Juwel Rio 300 about 15 or so years ago just using the Juwel internal filter and nature just took it's course. It was just a normal tank, gravel, java fern and moss, heaps of moss and some floating plants. I did nothing special for the tank but we've got soft water around here (1.7 dGH) and they were pairing up and spawning on the glass. I think the stories of "difficult to keep" is a legacy of the days when lots or most Discus for sale were wild caught. Breeders in Germany and the far east have been breeding these things for nigh on 40 years and I think they've adjusted to 'normal' water parameters these days. I had a wee trick when I saw the first two pair up. They had the run of about 80% of the tank and the rest were at the other end but they weren't doing much else for a week or so. I showed the pair a mirror and they reacted to it and I dunno if it spurred them on or not or whether it was coincidence but a couple of days later I spotted eggs on the side of the tank. They hatched and it was cool for a week or so to see them feeding off the parents slime coating but the young never made it past a couple of weeks. I had to sell the tank after that, had a son on the way, but I got 250 quid for that breeding pair from my lfs. Good luck with your venture and I'll be following this with interest!

Oh wow, too bootifull

Hi how to identify male and female discus fish

[@abhijithunni8965]

Sr,how to identify male and female in discus fish?

[@pnw_element9822]

Should I removed all the other discus and leave the pair please let me know I really want to make this happen

[@mahamohamed5343]

Yes after they lay eggs in the general tank in which there is other discus for one or two times then remove the pair to separate aquarium the best size is 50×50×50 CM Reduce the filter output flow and keep temperature betweenn28/30 C Put cone and change water When they lay eggs try to do not do much water changes and put some medication such as esha 2000 for 3 days dosage normal to avoid fungal and bacterial infections..good luck

[@skts117]

What's the result ?

[@idpuko]

HI i from taiwan.TDS=130~140 OK? THX >

[@AquariumAdventures]

Hi, I shoot for 100 TDS at the top end - but you're not too far off.

[@idpuko]

@@AquariumAdventures OK i'll try again.THX

Thanks Iqbal 👍

You look different, you been on a diet :-)

23lbs down so far!

[@exvandal187]

But they never hatched….

[@olicam3589]

hi please could you go to Sheffield aquatics as this would be a great help thanks alot

[@AquariumAdventures]

The one on Langsett road? Why?

[@olicam3589]

because I live quite far away and was wandering if it would be worth going so would be a big help

[@AquariumAdventures]

Ah, OK - I'll give it another go but i've never liked it, maybe it has improved.
