It is not uncommon that exotic fish owners find Breeding discus fish a
little bit difficult to get baby discus. The hardest part about
breeding discus fish is finding the right mates, this issue rises from
the fact discus like to choose their partners alone, and not anyone
suits their taste? Under such circumstances, you?e got two solutions
for breeding discus fish: you can either buy a couple or raise them
together in a group and hope they will make couples. The first variant
is not the happiest, since a discus fish couple can be as expensive as
a few hundred dollars, which is a lot.
Therefore,
the most advantageous option you've got is to start breeding discus fish
by creating a discus group of at least six members and keep the fingers
crossed that you get at least one couple. How do you recognize mates?
Well, breeding discus fish is not that difficult from now on if you
follow some basic rules. First of all, the ?ew-weds?will delimitate a
perimeter in the tank and will start defending it against trespassers.
This means its time for you to move to the second phase of breeding
discus fish.
You should prepare a separate tank for your
breeding discus fish and keep it as simple as possible. There? no need
to put anything on the bottom of the fish tank, all they need is a
vertical surface where they could lay their eggs. Your breeding discus
fish should soon begin to spawn. Don't worry about the eggs that look
whitish, those are infertile for sure, as for the rest, it is possible
that the parents may eat some of them and protect the others. The good
part about breeding discus fish is that they feed their own siblings
for a few weeks.
In about three weeks time, you?l have to move
the fry into a special tank as it is not uncommon that the breeding
discus fish be injured by their own babies who eat their scales for
instance. Once they're off the parenthood responsibility, the breeding
discus fish will begin a new cycle of reproduction and you may have
some more siblings soon afterwards. Feeding and water are essential all
throughout the breeding period, so, make sure that you don? make any
mistakes.
