Question aimed at the Discus Breeders here.

GhostKnife · 03-27-2007, 12:33 AM

I've heard both sides of the issues and since my 110 just came available I'd like to have my 2 breeding pairs in the same tank. now I've heard it's bad to do etc but I dont want a breeding style tank. it would be fantastic if they bred. but they are going to be mostly for show. can they be kept in a 110 (2 pairs so 4 fish total) with no adverse breeding effects if I am lucky enough for them to breed?

You will have a little fueding go on from time to time. They will claim territory for themselves. If they do breed casualtires will occur with the fry.

so. it's best to divide the tank as best I can?

You will be fine if keeping the fish for show. Ive kept 3 breeding pairs in much smaller space. I do however suggest that if you want to breed them grab a cheap 55 gallon and a heater and sponge filter.

I tend to return my discus to the tank with the other discuss after breeding them. I do however have 3 pair that I keep alone now because they are such good breeders.
