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 . ;)

to raise discus fry artificially is no easy task . they are eating the eggs becaise they are stressed out . is there alot of activity near the discus tank where the fry and parents was ? the fry after hatching should eat the milk secretion off the parents flanks for 2-3 weeks then they should be...

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

If i was to use ro water instead of my treated tap water for my angelfish breeding pairs would i achieve a better hatch rate ? tap water parameters : ph = 8.5 gh = 16 cant remember the ppm ro water i now have : ph = 6.5 gh = 5 ppm = 50-100 ppm im guessing the ro water would be...

Ok bob pm sent mate

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

i dont know how long they have been spawning. they spawned about 3-4 days after i got them and they do every 3 weeks. this is my 3rd spawn now ..

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 ..

discus always although i have some yellow banded tropheus in a 5ft tank. but i also have discus. good filter and stable water parameters anyone can keep discus

its a waste to use a fish like convict cichlid as feeder fish

ok thank guys to be honest ive only had trouble with chemicals the ph up and down doesnt work. and the proper ph does but makes your water cloudy . so ill try some of the stuff you suggested

i need to use it in my discus tank. my ph straight out the tap is 8.7 so i wanted to lower it to around 6.5 as i have a breeding pair. i put some in and after a couple hours the tank went cloudy and my water has never been cloudy.
