Well i don't think you need that much Clarkey ;) Depends on how big you want to go i guess, but a small setup in a backyard shed, could be done for considerably less.

Nah, fish breeders are an ingenious lot. Its interesting to note that the largest discus farm in the world is in a country which is colder than us, and has high utility costs as well. The Stendkers...

Yeah, for sure, i have talked with a few other importers i know, and had conversations about this matter with AQIS officers, and opinions vary greatly. No-one knows exactly how it will play out. I...

Discus and other interesting species will no longer be imported.
I am one of those small time importers bringing in about 6 shipments a year of high quality discus. My discus are domestics from...

Pump the water through a mechanical filter of some sort, probably a sand filter that can be backwashed. I would then treat the water with clorine to sterilize it, then allow to off-gas in your...

Yes rain water mixed with tapwater will lower the hardness Kerrie. For practical purposes rain water is equivalent to R/O water.

Hi Kerrie,
Yes, your water is moderately hard. When i suspect i am having water related breeding issues i use pure r/o and add Discus pro minerals into the water. Works great and the ph is about...

Check the underwater sink type for recomended flow rate. Many household types can only flow 4 liters per minute effectively. If this is not enough flow rate you can buy commercial type activated...

Are RO worth using ??
Depends on your situation. Here in Brisbane, the water is hard and alkaline. They grow well and remain healthy in the water, but breeding can be a problem. Mostly the eggs...

Hi Marty,
I bought a 3 stage one from an ebay store about 18 months ago. $130 delivered, 200liters a day membrane. It came with 10" filters. I had to assemble it, but it was pretty easy. Performs...

Hi Dee,
A friend told me about this thread, wow mate you have done a great job with those spotted leopards. Good luck with your sale, they are indeed a bargain.
I hope this doesn't mean you are...

Hi Kerrie,
No. I have not bred any discus at all this year. Not sure where you can get alenquers from, it has been a while since i have seen them available.
Good luck with your search.

I agree with hooked. I would individually bag them with oxygen, and transport them in a foam box. A couple of heat packs from the pharmacy will keep them warm for a day or so.
Good luck with your...

Do you mean Inve nrd? I have used it for many tropical fish. but discus don't seem to eat it very enthusiastically.

That sounds like the homozygous white i mentioned above. That type and the various so called albinos are the only ones that are pepper free from what i have seen.

It is my understanding these discus are derived from snow white and blue diamond, i don't think they have pigeon in them but i'm not certain. Our asian breeder friends rarely volunteer genetic...

Sounds like a great tank for a breeding pair :)
4 discus probably not a good idea. The heirarchy disputes would likely cause 1 or more of the discus to suffer. I'd go for 8 to 10 discus, but you...

Hi,
That is the golden gene causing that look in your discus. Nothing to do with pigeon, despite there being some resemblances.
Looks like quite a nice discus.

Try Fernland agencies in Nambour for pure canadian peat moss. They are the australian distributors for this brand: http://www.sungro.com/products_displayProduct.php?product_id=27&brand_id=8

Hi guys,
This is an old thread, the discus talk has come and gone!

Hi Woodsie,
I'm still about mate, but not currently importing any discus. I still have my own collection (about a dozen tanks) and do breed some from time to time. I don't often visit forums, but...

If the water going into the tank is correct, then you can change as much as you like. 3 times a day @ 100% is not too much, similar to what many professional breeders do in asia. If your discus are...

Perhaps with uncontrolled linebreeding, you never know what you would end up with. But i think the point of line breeding, is to iron out those uncontrolled bits and purify the type to the point...

Yes, i would see what comes from it first. You never know, sometimes ordinary parents can produce great looking fry. Your line sounds like it came from a crossing at one point which in itself is not...
