5 months old discus eating floating food.

Convicts do well with alot of cover by plants, lights and outdoors in ponds and cycled tanks with livebearers. A 20 gallon tank would be ideal 2 x 2 feet tanks with plants if you want the convicts to breed fast. Once spawned its advisable to move the fry away from the parents for a better...

Your pothos might be a cause. Sharing an experience with my betta. Lost all of them to fin rot. The cause was the bacteria that help break NH3 was the culprit.

Happy fathers day GaryE.

3 months update on melons

The Environments are kept clean to control Dengue and other deadly diseases. The ones that come in are the ones carrying the diseases if not controlled. Betta control have done the job so far in the pothos pots.

I recently modified my filter top covers with Pothos plants to reduce algae growth from sunlight. Pothos were refreshing to the eye until mosquito larva showed up. So gota Betta Controls of Mustards, Red Rose tail and Elephant Ear from Betta Farm Moratuwa. When the Betta got home some Larva had...

Let's make TFF a Heaven GrayE.

You are Right. I was being sarcastic with the penguins and lemons saying "only".

All my fish staying calm during water change. That's the only time the penguins and lemons school.

I was finding green algae leaching on my plants and was wondering how it germinated. The culprits were the overhead filters. When the sun is out at peak hours the plastic containers were germinating green algae inside the filter Containers. So placed some pothos with granite pebbles to provide...

The food is doing its job. The pigments are showing when they start to feed. The best time for my juvis are around sun rise 5.30 am - 6.15 am. They pounce on the food and I find the dull skin fading and darker colors appearing. For now blood worms, black worms and tubifix worms are not...

So all these years we have been raising and breeding Red Indian food.

Why are Discus fish considered as meat in the amazon. Do they taste good.

This is 100% true GaryE. Anewbie, please share your experience how did it help?

Before I got into convincing my mind on discus it was a one fish, two fish ride with my friend and look out for a mid ground plant to face light the tank. My friend loves discus and we saw a F1 grade red melon at The Fish Stop in Dehiwela. That interest me on reading and researching the...

Wow, thought gabe was the Real Deal. Guess the cookies rumbles. I'm glad I'm on the Right forum.

Thanks Colin. Gabe the guy in jack wattley discus on YouTube says, he normally does a 120 water change. Wanted to clarify.

What is a 120% water change?

Thanks for everyones help on the thread. I praise this forum over other forums as the members have the patience to see threads through without discrimination. Unfortunately the video I had to upload it on YouTube to get it on TFF. That's how much it shows on YouTube shorts.

An update on the Discus juvis feeding frenzy.

100% true so many problems with Discus juveniles at the start as I have mentioned previously on the thread its a hard challenge however, you just need patience and knowledge about Discus for beginners and experience hobbyist trying them out for the 1st time. 1. When buying juvenile Discus from...

Okay I think the issue here is with wild caught Discus incontrast to inbred breeding and hybrid breeding. Plebians point on the temp is more suited in amazon regions when shallow Discus move to terrestrial plants and tree roots for breeding after floods. Temperatures should be in the 82f to 86f...

That's great they got a variety of choices (pvc pipe, filter pipes and cement walls) if the bog wood and algae dosent work.

Thanks colin_T, I thought it had to be a clean surface.

Is Discus Eggs safe when layed on BogWood with Red Algae (Black Hair Algae) growing on it.

The tank looks a natural eco-system with soft and hard scapes. Have you gota breeding pair out from this batch. That's tells alot about the checklist we follow on keeping Discus schooling tanks. However, if they haven't may be cos in the wild they take more than 24 months or more. So your setup...

Thanks guys for the indepth information on the thread. I got some good news for all Discus keepers. If your looking for genetically high grade Discus from the batches you bring home, groom them in planted tank setups with suitable water conditions, varied diets and good health and you would get...

In my place the room temperature fluctuates between 27 and 33 these days when the sun is out. I don't use a heater for the discus since they were conditioned outdoors. Since the tank is in the coolest place of the house hillstream is doing fine.

Yes, most of the time he is fighting to clean the tank and do his job with the CAE.

That was on top of my mind, but since the tank is big and spacious and always fight with hill stream loach, the discus are safe plus CAE is about 2.5 to 3 inches long.

Some of the best sources of vitamins for discus fish are crustaceans, vegetables, and algae. Bloodworms, which are actually the larval stage of the mosquito are a very popular food type for discus fish. Bloodworms are rich in protein and can be administered live, frozen, and/or freeze-dried...

Thanks colin_T you are right about the breeder he has not varied the diet. The concept of Discus Breeding and growth is Bare bottom tanks till they reach 4 to 6 inches during 12 months before breeders release good specimens to the market which are over 4 inch sizes ( this is for recommended and...

They were kept in a dark corner and trained only on ox heart. Since I'm keeping them in a planted tank I'm feeding them Hikari Discus Bio-gold. A Few things with Bio-gold the fellows 98% miss the target and lose focus but constantly keep pecking. That's very frustrating to watch. The ones who...
