Water condition/quality--Discus lay eggs

[Billy]

hi all,
i curious about if discus can lay eggs in poor water condition???

one of my discus is laying eggs right now the ph is around 6.0. i never check the Gh/Kh, nitrite/nirate of the water but i do regularly change 15% of water (4ft tank) every 2 days.

so does that mean my water condition is gd or discus can lay eggs in poor water condition??

any ideas??

It has to be pretty good or they wont even try to lay eggs. How many fish in that 4 footer?

i've 1 4.5" and 1 3.5" discus, 4 clown loaches, 5 mixed Flowerhorn fries from 2" to 3" growing super fast (of cuz they are separated). goin to need a new big fish tank pretty soon!!

also can FH keep in discus water ?? or discus in FH waters??

Flowerhorns should adapt to just about any water. Although they will do well in a particular range, id say around 7.2-8.0 ph. They are hardier than discus.

Ive heard stories of people throwing these in the rivers in Asia and they are survivingg and thriving.

Still not a good mix even with a divider.
