 How are your Discus doing Vera?

 Thank u Martin

Hi Johnaton 

Ltl piggies are growing and crowding aquarium,half of them will have to go for all of them to have  better chance to grow as big as possible

2.5 months old , the smallest one abt 5cm

WOW !!!! Those Discus are growing really well & they are also colouring up their fins, nicely.

WoW! your a great fishkeeper! Keep it up!

From what I can see you went to full timer with breeding such lovely fish, do you mind tell me how much time you consume on your hobby, keep it up very good and healthy fish.

Thank u guys

Its ok to feed  juvenils4 times a day but i feed them 7 times a day and abt 3 WC a day abt 30% each time after BH mix

(there abt 30 in 100L tank).

for the smaller number of discus in one tank  it would be much less  work

 That's a very nice result Nat! Hope that one day I have my breeding tanks full of these nice Discus. Is this your only pair? Do you keep them in pairs or you have a community and you separate them when ready to breed?

Thank u Jonaton

i have 3 pairs who spawned ,now i mix the in different combinations,cant wait to c outcome

i keep them in a comunity tank and then when eggs laid i take a pair together with eggs to another tank

How come the pair don't eat the little fry it's normal for fish to eat their fry right ? 

Nat any photos of the other pairs?

T3ddy Cichlids are known for their good parental skills. You can find pairs that eat their first spawns or that keep eating eggs or even fry. But the majority will learn how to take care of their brood.

Its true what Jonaton said + babies for the first month of their life attach themselves to parents and eat from parents slime coat,which is very nutritious and serves as first food for babies

Here u go Jonaton

Snow White and Leopard

 Never saw a white Discus!!! Impressive leopard colours! You can see the fry eating from the parents' sides! You're doing great Nat! Btw can we see the leopard from the side too to see its colours?

Thank u Jonaton:)
