Making A New Discus Tank

[shahrezsyed]

i,m making a new 110 gallon discus tank to raise juvies.
i was just wondering:
a- how many discus could i raise in this tank from juvenile to adult?
b- would they breed with all the discus around and wont the other discus eat their eggs and fry.

In a 110g, assuming only Discus in there (no dither fish) as a new keeper, 11 would be the safe guideline. Keep it bear bones (all glass tank, no decor and just equipment within) while you grow them out, and you will need regular feedings and waterchanges (4 feeds a day with idealy daily waterchanges while growing them out...)

You may get a few pairs forming, but getting to adult fish the fry resulting from these spawnings is near impossible in a community tank. For good success rates, the fry want reasing seporately...

All the best
