Dozen New Discus Arrive

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Did you try different foods? I feed my discus beef heart and brine shrimp on alternating days. I doesn't look like you have a pair from the pics, because you only have that same one on the right side. And if it was a pair, their body would be twitching as the female looks for a smooth area for her eggs. But it could be a number of reasons why they like the right side better. One could be the air stone is scaring them. Try relocating it and using a wand instead of a stone to even out the bubbles. Or you have a lot of water movement on the left side, discus like calm water which is why many people use sponge filters. Or they just plain like that side better than the other, flip flop the DW to see if it makes a difference. And I'm only seeing 10, did you lose two??
 
I still have 11, 1 of them hide behide DW and don't have a pair yet. They are still too young. I feed them blackworm and flake during the day. As far of they stay on right side, you probally right about air stone but I don't think it make strong moment than the right side where incoming water. Let me try to move the air stone to see how they react.

Thank you for pointing it out

Merry Christmas everyone.

I'm thinking 2 of mine LSS and BSS pairing up. I saw them dancing and cleaning the heater. Good thing, i cover it, otherwise i'll have sunny side up eggs LOL.

confirm it's a pair now, woke up this morning and see less then 100 eggs on heater. Great and no, 'cause 30G already taken by angels and planning to switch the tanks this weekend.

Dude, I'd be so hyped about having a confirmed pair. If you plan on raising fry, just be prepared to do lots of TLC on them...............
 
I am going to try and give them as much as TLC that we can, 'cause my wife and kids love them too. But I don't have any 30G available, i only have 10G and I m switching tanks this weekend. Hopefully, there are some wigglers, they may eat their eggs just like my angels. cross my fingers.
 
I would also like the name and number if the breeder you got those from. Every person I find only have one kind for sale..I want a mixed bunch like you got this time.
