Aquarium lighting during discus spawning
I wrote quite a lot about the quality of water for spawning discus, but not much about the lighting of the tank. Recent blog comments have inspired me to write more on this topic. Generally, the lighting of the aquarium during discus spawning does not have any great influence on its course, but then, when the fry melt (about 3 days after hatching of the larvae), it can sometimes decide about the success or failure of the aquarist.

Substrate influence on water parameters
Sometimes it happens that in a mature aquarium water pH increase occurs despite the fact that aquarist acidified water that is used for water-changes. Elements of decoration or equipment placed in an aquarium may be responsible for it. The most common culprit may beWięcej »
Discus fry feeding
Discus spawning and the first days after hatching of larvae is a time of rest for the aquarist, but also the time of preparation for the next stage of the breeding – feeding fry. Since the laying of eggs by a pair of discus we have 9 days off – it will take three days incubation of eggs, three days larvae discus will need to absorb the yolk sac, three days the fry will feed only their parents’ skin secretions.Więcej »
Discus fish – introduction
Welcome to Discus fish in Aquarium website designed for aquarists who keep discus fish in their aquariums, as well as for all those who want to know what gossip aquarists ;).

Which Aquariums for discus
What size should an aquarium for discus fish be?
Large fish need a large enough tank. Size of the aquarium for discus plays an important role for two main reasons – first reason is that, like most cichlids, discus are territorial fish. In an aquarium large enough, each adult discus (or matched pair) has more or less constant territory and tries to defend it against other fish, even stronger than them, which can be easily observed during feeding.
