Ermagherd, Discus Spawning!

[Jeremy Anderson]

we moved some adult discus from a community 75 into their own 75 after spotting some eggs, knocked the hardness down with RO water and they spawned again in five days.

We are about to have baby discus!
We have a very yellow Fiamma Rossa (supposedly) and a Snakeskin, I think they are going to make some wicked offspring.

Low light pic from a while ago this evening.

More pics with lights on this morning, didn’t want to spook them sorry for the blurry pics. I feel like that’s a decent number of eggs for a young couple!

Yes agreed

Thanks for your input, glad to hear it.
I only started keeping fish a year ago, with hopes of breeding discus from the start. I am tickled with the progress, these two seem to be showing signs of being excellent parents, I am fully geeked on it.

After a few tries we now have 30-40 free swimmers!

I have been unable to get a decent picture, but they are doing well!

Thank you kindly, we are doing our best with them, but are still pretty inexperienced with fish. I am absolutely in love with discus, they are an amazing little genus.
