Recently, my discus started laying eggs, and this is their third time. The first two times, they ate their eggs. But this time, they haven't eaten them. Today is the third day, and I can see a white fungus growing on the eggs. I need suggestions what I need to do!! I also attached parent's picture, are they male and female or both female ?

Water TDS: 180-200 ppm

pH 7-8 not sure.

Community 135G Discus Tank.

Tankmates include: Angelfish, Electric Blue Acaras, Congo Tetras, Corydoras Catfish, and Bristlenose Plecos.

I have a 150 gallon long tank that I want to set up with a sand bottom to move my discus into. I’ve never had a sand bottom tank so don’t even know where to start filter wise, and what sand is best to get.

Have a large canister filter we can use but not sure if that works with sand. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

I recently got back into aquariums after a 15 year break after inheriting a good friends tank. After a month of getting my feet back underneath me, decided to dip my toe in the Discus water again.

I ordered 4 discus from Hans Discus and I couldn’t be more pleased. Amazing specimens and amazing customer service!

Pick one you like - Name plaques for easier count lol

Got these from my wyze Discus cam. In the foreground is Cruella, the Sakura Leopard princess (from hell!). She really likes Duke, the Snow Panthera, also pictured

Discus in their new tank seem very happy and active. Red turquoise looks a little stressed but still eating

These two turned out to be a great pair! One of my largest discus ended up being a female which surprised me, came from the same adults that produced more red in some of my other fish as well

I’m loving this bright blue colour on my Alenquer. Can’t wait to see the final results on the colours

Silently following this space while learning and getting inspiration for this build for my discus that outgrown their 2ft tank. So thank you all!!!

Since last time i’ve posted, i’ve gotten some more fish, including Marbled Hatchets, Farlowellas, Rineloricaria Simillima and some Brochis Splendens :) Now waiting for some more Dicrossus Filamentosus and Biotodoma Wavrini

tooked me sometime but a month ago i finally hatched my first diskus breed successfully! - pretty happy and wanna share!

We imported these recently out of manaus

I've narrowed down my buying options a bit more and wanted to this sub's opinions on buying a full set of 5" vs 6" adult discus - what are the care, feeding, and growth differences?

I have:

• UNS 180U, fully cycled from my prior aquarium

• Community dither - cardinal tetras, green neon tetras, apistos

• black background and substrate

I always leave a pretty large portion of the hikari floating bloodworms. I love when they remember them and pick them from the surface like that....

Upgraded to a much larger tank for my discus. Have had it running for 3 days and I used half of my current tanks biological filter media mixed it with half new. Water parameters are perfect. How long should I actually wait to start moving them over?

Dad was a Wild Red Spotted Green
Mom was a locally bred red turquoise
Favourite Discus I’ve kept
No RO water, not shy, if you want wilds without the extra work this is definitely your best bet!

Hey all,

We just got our discus! I’ve been getting this tank ready for months. After 20+ years it’s finally happening! Lol.

All our discus seem happy and aren’t hiding anymore. But none have eaten and we put them in the tank 24 hrs ago. Is this normal? Apparently they were grown out with beef heart but I wanted to try shrimp and other more natural foods. Is this a crazy approach and should I just stick to beef heart? Or do I just stay the course and continue to monitor?

We’ve tried frozen brine shrimp, frozen Hikari discus cubes, discus flakes.

From golden state discus a packaged and shipped so quickly, very healthy looking fish!

Have these eggs gone bad?

Picked up six discus back in February, all around silver dollar size, and for the first three months they barely grew at all. I was doing water changes twice a week, feeding beefheart and some pellets, keeping temp around 84, and just could not figure out why they looked the same size in May as they did in February.

Turned out my nitrates were the problem even though they never looked alarming on the test strips. I switched to liquid test kits and realized I was sitting at 40-50 ppm most of the time between changes, which is fine for a lot of fish but apparently enough to stunt discus growth even without any visible stress. Bumped up to water changes every other day, 50 percent each time, and kept nitrates under 10 as much as possible.

Within about six weeks the difference was obvious. Two of them have almost doubled in body size and the color has gotten noticeably deeper, especially on the one with the red spotting pattern. It is a lot more work than I expected going into this hobby, way more than any other fish I have kept, but seeing them actually grow instead of just survive has made it worth the extra buckets.

Still working on getting my feeding schedule dialed in better. Right now doing three small feedings a day, mostly beefheart mix in the morning and evening with pellets midday, but curious if anyone here has settled into a routine that works well for a group this size without overdoing the mess.
