Raising Discus fry - 1st month 98 9

Discus 11 years ago 31,986 views

It has been a month since I posted the young Golden PB pair with the babies. After some tiring routine (preparing brine shrimp, water changes, clean tank etc), I now present you the videos I took when they are growing up and the 4 weeks old babies from this pair - 70% golden PB + red, maybe 20% turquoise, 10% will be gone after culling. Throughout the month only a few could not make it, now is the most difficult time as they are going to reach 1-inch in size. Need to keep up with the water changes. Wish me luck. Dear discus hobbyist, do share your experience. :) Previous video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16RRZsUoAl0 Parents are now back to man tank - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6HGWmPsE1Y

Is it must to keep a heater for discus

PickleRick - 5 years ago

A betta life if you want them to live then yes. Unless your tank temperature never changes, and stays between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius all year round. So if you live in Dubai then you probably won’t need a heater.

can i feed micro pallets instead of baby brine shrimp?

Kevin Roque - 6 years ago

Yes you can, its best to feed the Variety of food. But if they eat the pellets you can feed them mostly that. Just change it up every once in a while.

my discus have layed eggs on bogwood which is 6" from the surface of a juwel 450 tank. water conditions are good overfiltering with a large filter system also an ocean stream hydra unit. would it be ok to use a large hatchery tank within my own tank?. temp 86f using treated tap water not RO. Help would much appreciated

thanx Peter!

Do you mean when they are free swimming? At this time make sure the tank does not have any dark objects (for example sponge filter, air stone, deco etc) as the fry will be mistaken that those are their "parents". If your tank is too big then it could be a problem as well, I would suggest max at 2.5' x 1.5' tank. Try to lower the water level so that they could easily find the pair, see my other video on this.
