So I really want to try my hand at breeding discus. If I did it will be a while off, but I really want to give myself a challenge, as well as planning everything out ahead. I was thinking this:
29 gallon tank (already have other tanks for fry when they stop eating the slime coat on the parents)
A Mated Pair of Discus from Choice Aquariums (my local discus store but they also sell online)
water temp @ 86 degrees using heater with a heater guard
2 Flower Pots with holes in the sides (as caves and egg laying places)
A Sponge filter
Leave tank bare-bottom
Daily 50% water changes with water at a pH of 7.5 (what Choice Aquariums keeps and breeds their discus in)
no tankmates.
Anything else I'm missing? Does this sound like a good idea? I'm looking for a challenge and maybe even a little profit (but that's secondary to the challenge).
