Breeding My Discus
Thanks Tom. I have done everything as I should, so it's kind of up to the fish now.......and a little luck! So longs as the fish don't eat their eggs! I have stopped using the wire guard, as I feel that it annoys the parents too much. Eggs are 12 hours old now, and I just added some meth blue...- DevotedToDiscus

Breeding My Discus
Lazy lovers!! Just swanning around, eating food and getting fat!!!..........But enough about me! My fish haven't spawned yet, but I am patient! Sorry. I have been a bit busy at work, and they need a lot of attention. Have a bit of free time now, so hope I can get somewhere.- DevotedToDiscus

Zante, I would say it is unlikely to get free swimming fry in a community tank at any point. If the fry make it as far as free swimming, they will most likely become lunch for the other tank mates! The parents won't have so much trouble protecting the eggs and wrigglers, but they won't be able...- DevotedToDiscus

Breeding My Discus
Sorry Guys, I am away working for a few weeks, so the fish are all back in the main tank so it's easier for my girlfriend to take care of them. I need to be at home when they are in the love shack, as they need quite a bit of care. As soon as I am back home I will put 3 pairs back in there.- DevotedToDiscus

Breeding My Discus
That last spawn was largely infertile, so I removed it. I suspect it was because I was using tap water. Yesterday I saw they were getting ready to spawn again, so I did a quick water change and used an RO/tapwater mix. The eggs "look" good for now. Added Meth Blue, and up'd the water temp by a...- DevotedToDiscus

Breeding My Discus
Wasted away 4 hours of your life! 20 gallon long(is that 70 litres?). Sounds a little bit on the small size for a Discus tank. What are the dimensions? Discus grow really quite big, as aquarium fish go, so need a good bit of space. In particular they like a deep tank 18 inches ++. In...- DevotedToDiscus

Hi New To The Forum And In Need Of Help
+1 On DrRob's advise. Switch it off and depress the priming pump plunger a few times, then switch it back on. If it still won't start drawing water from the tank. Close the taps, remove the inlet pipe, get a bucket, then open that pipe tap and give it a suck to start the syphon. Once you have... -
Water Temprature
Fits on the rim of the tank and runs off a 12v adapter. You can angle the unit to blow directly down on the water or across the tank. I find that it drops the water temp by about 4-5 degrees C. I have mine connected to the light timer, so that it is only on when the lights are on, as it is my...- DevotedToDiscus

Water Temprature
How big is the tank, and is it covered with a closed hood, or open? I have a small saltwater tank(open top) and I have a clip on fan to keep the water cool. It does cause extra evaporation, so needs daily top ups. Similar to this.....- DevotedToDiscus
