How to breed discus

[joeyjoelyjoepro]

Hi everyone, is there an easy way to breed discus cheaply in a 40 gallon? And what would I feed the fry?
Thanks

What do you feed the fry? It helps to do some basic research, my friend! Discus fry feed off their parent's slime for the first few weeks. Aside from that... What Popparyno said

Defenitly, I was thinking I out getting some then I saw some of PoppaRyno's discus and started seriously wanting the fish but I don't think I have the time or skill to keep them though so I might just stick with an easier fish

Thanks though

No, anyone can keep discus with proper care. Breeding them, now thats a whole other animal. What size tank do you have? A group of 5 is considered minimum for proper group size and a 75 gallon is what you will pretty much need for that and a few schooling fish. Im sure Poppa would be glad to help you learn about keeping them.

i'm putting 6 in a 90 this spring, they are difficult and the tank needs to be cycled i will have my other fish in their for a few months before i add them, if i breed them i will put a pair in a 30 gallon.
