Breeding My Discus

[DevotedToDiscus]

big bummer! important thing is you havent lost any yet. hopefullly the bounce back quickly

I just spent 4 hours getting everything clean and shinny again......It gave me a chance to make some slight adjustments, so it actually looks even better for it. So I guess it wasn't all doom and gloom

Fish are all perfectly fine

Happy and shiny again.........I didn't take the before photo, it was too shocking!

 

[KrazyKuhli]

WOW!!....I...LOVE...THIS...TANK!!

Showed it to the wife...all she said was...no! lol

This is why love long tanks, can have a tall scape on both sides and plenty of room in the middle.

Thanks, but yesterday it was a shocking tank. I nearly died when I saw it! I had more diatoms than plants, rocks and glass combined! I had to drain it down and scrub everything today. Toothbrush all the plants and then dip them in a bleach solution, then reassemble everything. Anyway, all good now, and I have a pair of blue turks getting it on big time now. So I might take those two and give them a go in the breeding tank tomorrow. They are a very mature couple and should be much easier than the young Pigeon Bloods. The male is a bit ordinary, but his wife is rather pretty

........... I'll try and get a pic of them together, and you can let me know what you think

First pic is the girl, and the second the boy..........and they're in luuuuuuv

................Oh, and that's peeping Tom in the background!

I am setting up the love nest today. I thought I would help out the fry this time by giving 3 sides and the base of the tank a lick of white paint.............now I am all dizzy and high on paint fumes

Is that just normal spray paint? Last time I painted glass I primered it first.....derp looked good on the outside but the inside was the wrong colour

Can't wait to see the babies

Just white primer, so it is just a flat white when viewed from inside. So I have set it up in my bedroom, against a white wall!!!!!!! So that the painting was a waste of time.........If I had a brain I'd be dangerous

 

[DevotedToDiscus]

OK, so I have shifted the other pair, and they started dancing the tango after about 30 minutes.......stopped when I went to take their pic

, but I think they are happy to be alone.

Thanks man....I will keep it updated. Fingers crossed with this pair, but I think they will be ok as they are much more mature than the Pigeon Bloods. I think I need to be patient with my Pigeons and grow them on a bit more.

Good things come to those who wait ma friend sure they'll do it 1 day

I got to say what an awesome read, i was hooked after page 1, i'm sorry about your previous attempts, and applaud your patience and dedication for carrying on.

Good luck with the latest pair, i really hope it turns out good this time round.
