Hi man , I just come over from aquarium adventures to have a look at your video , and I found it very interesting . you have some lovely looking discus . Looking forward to the next video 👍
Johnfloyd man77 Thanks I really appreciate it - hopefully next one tomorrow I’ll get the camera round the correct way and show off some of the other strains. Also got some amazing zebra plec’s that although camera shy love the attention 😃
Aquarium Adventures Thanks appreciate you checking it out - loads of wrigglers today so I’ll put another one up tomorrow - then unboxing on Friday - very excited
Can I move my rock with discus eggs into a cherry shrimp tank with out the parents cuz their in a community tank right now they always laying eggs and when they hatch they get eaten by other fish
Hi Daniel - I use 1ml per 9L - but that’s on RO water for Dechlorinated tap water I’d go as high as 1ml for your 7L tank and slowly dilute it by doing 50% water changes every 12 hours until they become wrigglers - hope this helps
@@sedaquatics7277 thx, but the eggs became white again. Is there any tip to increase male discus' sperm like food or something? In 15 spawns only twice I saw 10% wrigglers
Sometimes it can also come down to the age of the fish. Many females will become sexually mature at 9-12 months - whereas the males will go through the process of breeding but not actually produce viable sperm until 18-20 month mark. And sometimes it just takes time. I’ve had a pair that didn’t get it right until 20th plus time.
@@sedaquatics7277 ph 5.8, 2 air stones, kh 2, gh 3, temp 28* Celsius, no2 0, no3 7, water flux from filter pomp covered with sponge, I use tap water with bioconditioner mixed with deminerelised water. Only 2 times eggs hatched like 15%, they lay every 5-7 days. Yesterday from 250 eggs only 1 get fertilised even the male cross over all of them. Total of spawns maybe 15-17 till now. They are like 2 years old I think or maybe younger.
Hi Mathew, just want to ask what is the exact dimension of your breeding tank for a pair of discus? Just want to separate my pair from the community tank. Thanks
Hi Christian Sorry for the late reply - best measurements for a breeding tank are18” x 18” x 18” cube. However I know these can be difficult and uncommon dimensions to find. So maybe something similar or just buy 5 18” x 18” 6mm plate glass panels and make the tank yourself
@@sedaquatics7277 Thanks for your kind reply mate. I have tried artificially rearing of discus fry many times but I have still no success. especially bout their first food. Hope you any idea or if you have tried that before? And Im not so sure, if there's a factor when you place your breeding tank at bottom near the floor height. Others says discus might feel stress and the pair will not going to spawn. Dont know if its true.
Very nice video but hard to hear you over the music , and what your saying is far more interesting than the music , new sub 👍🏻
Thanks Appreciate it. Yeah first few videos were a bit of a car crash - sorted the music volume now. Hopefully they will improve as we move on.

Nice setup there! Good info too - keep it up 👍

Great video. Hate the unnecessary music.
The background music is so loud that you start getting headaches after five minutes.
Great vids mate, can you tell me where best UK seller is for Stendker Discus? Cheers
How often do you change the water when feeding ? Didn’t catch it in video

Hi, how much MB can I add on a 7 litres tank that I will use for discus eggs? Thx

What’s your water parameters? PH? temp? Etc. What flow rate do you have? Any air-stone in the Tank? Are you using tap or RO water?
