    I've given up on trying to breed. The fry keep dying. I've put the pair back in my display tank to enjoy.

    Hi Nathan, and thanks for your comment.
    No I'm running them at 80%.

    Thanks man, the aquarium told me it's called river sand.
    I told them it's for discus and they said it doesn't alter ph.
    Haven't had a problem with it.
    Thanks for the compliment.
    All the best...

    ADA aqua soil is great for discus, it naturally lowers the ph as this is what most plants need to thrive. Either use river sand, quartz sand or sand they use in pool filters. Do not use sand from the beach as it is full of calcium and will push your kh and gh through the roof, definitely not discus friendly. All the ADA sands are also ph friendly they wont change the ph
