hi,
Im from ACE(cichlid forum).
I have been keeping cichlids for about 1.5 years now and i have just upraded my display tank for my ciclids from a standard 3ft(150L) to a 4x2x2 tank.
The 3fter is spare now and i would like to get some discus and try and get a breeding pair happining after a year or so.
I have read that it is best to buy about 4 small discus and let them grow up and pair off
Would 4 full size discus be alright in a 3fter or will i need to just keep one full size breeding pair???
I think i have enough filtration. I have a 1200l/h aqua one canister.
I know it is your own choice really but for an average budget what type of discus do you think are the best to get??
Also what prices would i expect to pay for 4 smaller ones???
I love the blue ones. I think they are either Blue Diamonds or Blue turquose.
Would it be better to get one type of discus or is it alright to get 2 different types??
Sorry about the long post just reserching heaps before i jump in and buy some.
A guy at my LFS has bread them before so ill have a good talk to him aswell.
thanks youngy
