Nice discus Nick :)

Nice fish Nick

How big and old are they.

Brad.

[nicholas76]

Well they are both heavily working the cone as we speak. I'd say we are about a week off from getting some eggs.

They are approximately 6 inch in size and are 15 months of age.

Very agile pair, very diffrent to others , they are content to move around slowly and peck the cone.

Fingers crossed folks,

[Merrilyn]

Good luck with them Nick, they are lovely fish, and welcome back to the world of discus. I can see that one tank turning into many tanks LOL

Once the discus bug bites, you never really get rid of it.

[nicholas76]

Ive been getting some queries about purchases so i thought id update you all.

past 3 days they have really upped the eating so ive matched the w/c to suit.


Heavy pecking today which was pleasing to see. If experience tells me anything we might have a good few days coming.

fingers crossed

[nicholas76]

Well!

they have spawned with a solid bunch of eggs

I will post pics in the coming days

keep smiling all and have a happy NY :D

[Merrilyn]

Congratulations Nick. Fingers crossed for you mate.

[Mulisha]

Good luck mate hope all goes well... :D

[chrissyoscar]

[Merrilyn]

Darn, sorry to hear that Nick. But just let them settle in, at least you know you have a genuine pair.

They'll soon get it right.

[nicholas76]

thought id update with some pics


ps dirty floor yes i know , ( water change scheduled for later )

[nicholas76]

i find that beef heart mix is the ultimate, however after 2 feedings the tank is stuffed!!! w/c are done daily.

spirulina brings out the orange colour in the head area

[phear]

hi there nicholas, just wondering if u ever had any luck with breeding in these tanks yet? since its been a couple of months since u last posted about it?

Cheers Jamie

[nicholas76]

HI Jamie,

No mate, no luck with these fish just yet. Personally dont think they are ready yet and the tank size hasn't helped.

They are now in a 4 x 2 x 2 and hopefully this will motivate them some what.

cheers

[discus000]

They're such nice fish!
Makes me want to buy one....or two ...or three..!

Don't have the dosh though...

This hobby is really burning a hole in my pocket!

[phear]

alot of people are using smaller tanks such as 2x18x18 and i am starting to think tank size is a real issue with getting pairs to breed properly! have u tried them in a smaller tank?

cheers Jamie
