Kevin Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Patients is about the only thing. Leave them be. Discus pairs can take a number of times to learn. They are poor parent's compared to other cichlids. Nice fish, the female has a very striking background color. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Great pictures - wish you all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Very nice How big were they when they started to spawn? I have to say the same thing, patience is about all you have. Eventually they will learn and you will get some fry out of it. What are your water parameters like? I like to get all that info so I know what I can do to make mine want to spawn.

Reptillian Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Beautiful discus. These fish can take a long time to get it right....Mine took 7-8 tries before I finally was able to take a couple to the LFS and only a couple. Patience and persistence will win out in the end.

corrosionjerry Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Where did you get the cone for the Discus to lay their eggs on if I may ask? Did you make that somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
