66g ???

???

Today I checked on my discus pairs as I changed the water. The cube continues to be working well for them. They lay eggs about every week now. Previously the babies had strayed too far and not been taken care of properly in the bigger tanks. Interestingly also they are acting more as a community...

GouramiCichlid is right though. Small tanks will stunt the fish and discus are bad for that. ???

10 discus in a 66 gallon tank works for me. But it probably wouldn't work for most people. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

And I know you may think that it's too small for this many fish but it's perfect. I have a lot of fish experience and it is perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I think it's around 60g Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I recently build my 240g malawi tank which frees up my cube to house all my discus. The tank is beautiful and the fish so happy. 10 x discus 1 x Galaxy pleco 1 x Farlowella And a couple dozen fire ember tertras Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I have had a fence over new eggs for a couple of days. The disadvantage is that the parents can't pick out unfertilized eggs. But some should hatch. Any ideas after that? Leave male in or out? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oooh I forgot about the fence. I will. They are pretty much all fertilized (brown) but the new tank freaks them out. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So annoying. I have separated the two couples into their own smaller glass bottom tanks. While they are still laying eggs every week, they eat them before they wriggle. I wonder why. I will give them two more weeks in there then I'm going to give up again and just out them back with the others...

I had like half a dozen wild ones. I would design a seperate tank for wild discus in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

None are wild. All my wild ones have died over time. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I think I have to seperate them in the next few days from the parents Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My second paired up couple finally have swimming babies. I have since redesigned the tank and now it is only discus! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok so really good news on this update! This new couple have formed next to the other couple who have been laying eggs for months. This new couple have swimming fry on their second try and they are congregating around the parents. It looks super promising and I'm super excited. Hopefully the...

I thought that's what you meant. No I have regular filters for the tank. The babies don't get sucked in. They would survive if they got on the parents. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Frozen bloodworms twice a day Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No I think the breeding female died by suiciding out on the filter tube. I have them in their own tank now as I'm trying to breed the discus and they don't lay anymore. I will need to get more. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I don't even know what a pre filter is. I have since taken all the other fish out, the huge log and most of the plants. Changed the gravel to sand. There's another pair now that started laying eggs. Still after all this time wrigglers won't attach to the parents and just die. Sent from my...

Sounds like a nice tank. I'm building an 8ft tank now for my aulonocaras. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

They are so inbred by humans to get them to that blue brilliance that they are weak fish. They like to just die often. Best to hair get a stack of them as some will die off. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Will my discus just eat them? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Can anyone tell me what these worms are and if I should do something to get rid of them? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

One of my discus pair have been laying eggs every 10 days for months now and finally we have wrigglers. I don't expect them to survive though.
