How To Breed The King

We recommend that you do not buy the Discus that have been sized to 6 inches above, because Discus are already large, are sold at the pet store, had passed the fertile period and will not be able to reproduce again. Unless you are going to put Discus grown as ornaments in the tank containing water plants. Because according to my experience and my friends, Discus is still under development, should not be raised in a tank containing water plants, because the Discus will be difficult to grow, aka hampered its development. Do not know why, maybe the experts will be able to explain it.

How To Breed The King

I have a method that arguably different from other people and in books about Discus. I maintain 20 Discus, in a tank measuring 175cm x 60cm x 70cm which has a good strain, Red Melon, because I think keeping Discus strains that have good or as common as Turquoise, would equal just to feed and care for her. I let them grow up in a way that the treatment I have ever written. And do not forget to maintain water quality, because water is the key to breeding Discus. If you keep Discus from an early age, then you are likely to breed success 90%, other 10% is luck. Back to the discussion,,, After a 10-month-old Discus, they will begin to enter the fertile phase, and will find their partner. Will be seen by you, Discus are trying to find a partner, he'll look like a salute to the partner. And if you're feeling fit, the couple will find a place to lay their eggs. Immediately transfer them to a breeding tank? I replied, NOT YET! They are not necessarily completely true partner, could have both a female, but they still will lay eggs and of course the eggs will not hatch because no one was fertilized.

Let them find a place and lay eggs, and you have to keep watching. Normally fertile couples will find a place such as a pipe filter or it may be in the glass, to lay their eggs. And before you put the eggs, they will clean the place alternately. In this situation, Discus will require more food supply than usual because Discus lot of energy to it, so you try to feed a portion slightly different than usual. And after Discus lay their eggs, they will protect it from other Discus threat to eat their eggs. And the time within 2 X 24 hours, if the eggs change color to black, then they are true partners and Congrats to you!!! But if the eggs are turning white and like moldy, then you do not be disappointed, so be it. Discus me, for the first time also did not lay eggs, and I felt a little disappointed. Then the interval of 1 week, the couple began to clean the pipe again and placed their eggs. Then what happens after 2 X 24h,,, the eggs turn black as a sign that they are the true couple!!! Congrats to me :-p...

After that, I move the pair into the breeding tank I had prepared earlier. Remember the water temperature and composition should be similar to the one in a big tank, so I took the water in a large tank and transferred to the breeding tank. Within 1 week, the fry will begin to swim and find food. They will eat the mucus in the body of the mother. Amazing is not it? And in this phase, the water is very important changes, but change the water not too much, just 10% only, because the fry are still in a vulnerable situation and had not stabil.lalu after 2 weeks of age since hatching, the fry will look bigger, and may be additional food such as Artemia. The fry are starting to eat Artemia, his stomach will look yellow. You've entered the next stage of development of Discus. Congratulations!
