It was just a normal tank, gravel, java fern and moss, heaps of moss and some floating plants. I did nothing special for the tank but we've got soft water around here (1.7 dGH) and they were pairing up and spawning on the glass.
I think the stories of "difficult to keep" is a legacy of the days when lots or most Discus for sale were wild caught. Breeders in Germany and the far east have been breeding these things for nigh on 40 years and I think they've adjusted to 'normal' water parameters these days.
I had a wee trick when I saw the first two pair up. They had the run of about 80% of the tank and the rest were at the other end but they weren't doing much else for a week or so. I showed the pair a mirror and they reacted to it and I dunno if it spurred them on or not or whether it was coincidence but a couple of days later I spotted eggs on the side of the tank. They hatched and it was cool for a week or so to see them feeding off the parents slime coating but the young never made it past a couple of weeks. I had to sell the tank after that, had a son on the way, but I got 250 quid for that breeding pair from my lfs.
Good luck with your venture and I'll be following this with interest!
