I think you'd be surprised. Remember most people are breeding domestic strains, not wilds. So, they are more accustomed to differerent water parameters.

That is not true, a lot of people don't use ro water to breed, just regular tap.

You don't need RO water to keep discus. However, if you plan on breeding them, it could help.

Most people don't thaw out their bloodworms, so I don't think that is the problem.

Yeah, changing water shouldn't take you that much time either. People complain about how much water changes are needed for discus, but I do 50% water changes every other day on a 55g and I only spend about an hour and a half each week worth of time to do it. Just buy a python and you should be...

You should be doing large water changes several times a week, not just once. I do 50% every other day. Water changes are incredibly important for juvenile discus to get them to grow to their full potential.

It's worth it, that's the version I have.

It's well over an hour, close to 2 hours. You may be missing one half of the documentary.

It's easily available in full on the internet if you know where to look.

Here's some more feedback from the simplydiscus forums, which you should definitely read if you own discus. Easily the best resource for discus online. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?t=41161

Put the breeding pair in a separate tank, or odds are that the other discus will eat the fry. If you can't do another tank, make a divider.

Also, one of the most interesting thing I learned from the documentary is that Pike cichlids are known to have the longest parental care of any fish in the world.

The version they showed on discovery is not the entire documentary. The real documentary, which I think was originally shown on the BBC is in 5 parts and is about 2.5 to 3 hours long.

Just be careful where you get them, the last thing you need is to get your expensive discus sick from these new additions.

Yeah, definitely not worth the risk. Discus are too expensive to take that risk.
