ME! with one pair who are show winners who delight in frustrating me by not breeding, a 100 gallon with a couple of former show fish, 5 offspring from show winners, and 3 home bred's, and a third 100 gallon with my old daddy fish, a couple of culls I use as sacrificial lambs along with a bunch of angels to take up the extra space.

And me too, it is how I met Liz last year.  I have a 125 gal tank with 15 adult discus in it, sand bottom and some wood.  I raised them all myself from 1 1/2" babies.  I also have a 75 gal. with 15 adult angels, live plants and wood on a sand bottom.

I tried but it was a epic fail. I will try again and from what I learned from the first time around and help from my friends i will do better.

They are wonderful fish. I had a lot of bad luck with them in 2007. I've learned more now. Liz really knows what she is doing her discus are fantastic. So I'd just follow her advice! I have 2 now but they are in separate tanks. When I try to put them together one always beats up the other. So you are better off to just buy a group together. I'm really more into angelfish, but my hubby wanted these so we have them. They are both in tanks with angels.

Two dominant males

I'm not sure Liz about that, is the breeding tube like the angelfish tube? The cobalt put out a blunt one like female angels and beat the stew out of Mr. Blue Sky, and he did not show a breeding tube. Once I put the cobalt back in other tank the breeding tube went back in???

[LizStreithorst]

Hmmm, if that's the case I'm not sure about it either.

We have 2 breeder pairs and a hand full of pre-dime babies..
