HOW TO BREED DISCUS WITH DISCUS HANS

If you want to know about breeding Discus wouldn't it be nice to talk to one of the biggest names in the industry and ask him all of your questions? Well that's exactly what I was fortunate enough to do. Discus Hans took the time to talk with me about breeding these majestic fish and I captured this conversation on video (with his permission of coarse). So sit back and look at 2 of the prettiest Discus I've ever seen while we listen to Hans talk about the ins and outs of breeding them.

I have a breeding pair,6 inches blue pigeon male and a 5 inches red Turquoise female that have been spawning continuously every 5 to 8 days for about a month and a half now.What happened was the eggs sometimes hatch and a couple of days fry disappear or eggs few times didn't hatch and they turned white and ended up at the bottom of the bare tank base.I can only assume that my tank conditions are in top maintenance level with partial water change every other day( 2 times a week) and my discus appear in excellent shape and active.Still I am trying to gather some great ideas on how to manage a successful batch of breeds.Please to hear from anyone with suggestiions.

Did you add the wire cage after they laid eggs or was it on there the whole time?

Is that galvinized hardware cloth covering the cone? I guess there's not an issue with the zink leeching into the water?

+Grant Taylor the cones you can buy off ebay they are made by company in europe JBL discus cones, the screen is made of a "chicken mesh screen" you can buy those at Homedepot, you just have to cut it to size you want and then what I do, I just close it up with some zip ties.

Ginny yes use ro/di water and adjust the ph to where you want it in this case 6.5 is a good start for discus
Ginny Sanderson

Hello

I am not able to keep the PH in my breeding tank stable at 6.5. It will change within 24 hours.All the eggs will be white in no time!Any help greatly appreciated.SHould i use RO water?
Elijah Dail
Elijah Dail - 8 years ago
Discus need soft and acidic water. If you are using only tap water and your ph and hardness is not in your desired area, you can change temporarily. I would switch to RO.

My friend has a pair of red turquois in a 55 gallon tank, and it is not that much work to raise discus.  Yeah he does more partial water changes, He feeds them freshly hatched brine shrimp for two weeks, but otherwise the small fish start eating the discus mix that my friend prepares by himself after just a couple of weeks.  Hans keeps them in 20 gallon tanks, and yes that will create a lot more work due to quickly changing water quality.

so let me get this straight..these are not cycled tanks, you keep water parameters in check through water changes only. Correct?

Discus are flexible 5.8 to 6.5 would be okay even a neutral 7.0 your main focus should be having clean water, if ph is your concern cure some driftwood and get an r.o. unit
