i just bought an ro system as it seems to be an invaluble tool in the breeding side of the trade . saves trips to the lfs store every week . ;)

i thought so . thanks guys for information .

you could try and use RO water unless you already are . its hard to keep a stable ph unless you use chemicals and stuff but thats not too good for the eggs and fry .

ph for breeding discus u want really something like 6.0 -6.5 . my hardness is 3 my ph is 6.5 . and i try not to disturb them too much other then doing my daily 50% water change on there tank . feed them on beefheart and my fish mix. small amounts but 2-3 times a day and after each feeding ill...

no problem i like helping out people i can . have they got a tank of there own ? if not put them in there own tank with a sponge filter , heater and a spawning cone and they should do great . also whats your water parameters ? reguards RICHARD

no setup needed . just a tank water and guppies and they will breed forever lol

Ok bob pm sent mate

andy can you run me througth thre process of artificially raising the fry ?

yeah even in the tank they spawn in .

ok thanks alot .

i use sponge filters in my breeding tanks.

oh yeah bob can i do water changes still while the fry are in the tank.. im thinking yes as it would be cleaner and more sanitary that way but i thought i would ask you as you have more wxperiance then me in angelfish breeding ..
