whats easyest to breed ? everyone is going to have there own opinion.

ive hured they like merky water is it true ? what do you mean by merky? they like clean soft warm water the best, and do like some black water. add drift wood and/or
amazon black and soft water conditioner and amazon bio-colorant by ecological laboratories. mircobelift.com

whats the best food for them? blood worms,brine shrimp,flake food,and hikari discus bio-gold.

whats the best thing to breed agents ? rock or cone ? cone, or a vertical piece of slate.

what do you feed the babys? the parents will feed them,the babies feed off a spical slime coat on the parents, till they are old enough to eat on there own.

whats the best thing to do when they are breeding ? leave them alone in a dark room ? right dim the light and leave them to be, only checking on the fish to see if they are ok/test the parameters/and check the temp.
