For Sale: Red turquoise discus

O yes, forgot to add. I stumbled on a way to trigger spawning with my lights. Tried it twice and it worked both times thus far. If I works a third time I know I'm onto something and will post how. Never read or saw anything about it so if it works I'm claiming it haha. Not going public with it before I know for a fact that it works. Both times it was immediate. First time I wrote it off as chance but when it was immediate the second time it got my attention.

I don't think anybody knows about this. If anyone does please let me know because finding something new like this happens once in a lifetime.

Googled a bit and found nothing. They only speak about dimming the lights. Nothing about changing the color.

 

That's great man, hope all goes well for you

How's the eggs doing @ BoelderBeestie

Going strong, they should hatch later today. The parents picked off some dead eggs, they have about 20 left. I have to do a water change today as the tank is getting dirty hope I don't spook them. I think I should push it till tomorrow as the dirt is only feces, no uneaten food as I fed them lightly since Saturday.

 

That's great man, maybe just siphon water out so your nitrate level doesn't pick up

Was thinking the same, will do a quick vac after work just in case.

 

Went home and did a WC quick, they didn't seemed bothered at all but the eggs where white now so I guess its over for this clutch. They are still fanning them but will leave them to practice.

 

Sorry man but at least they are starting to spawn

This is their 4th try this season and the best one so far, I'm starting to think its two females though.

 

Unlucky man, goodluck to you and your fish. Practice make perfect

Guys I am getting some discus babies from the breeder in Jhb to Durban, if you guy are interested he has blue diamonds, red Turks and pigeon bloods. If you Durban guys are interested we can order from him and share the transport costs.
I will post pics of the parents as soon as he sends it to me

Ok so I tried the light thing again and I know they won't spawn so quickly again but it definitely triggers something as they started shaking and cleaning as soon as I changed the color. If any of you have a LED that can change color please try it and see if you can see any behavioral differences. I run the light white and when I change it to a yellow/green color or yellow/red they start shaking and aiming for the pipe. The other none paired fish starts to tail slap and chase each other. When I put it back to white they all stop and just continue as normal minding their own business. Am I seeing things? Feedback on this will be much appreciated.

 

Hi guys ok I been trying to get all info for you guys on the breeder in Jhb his name is Andries ‪+27 82 430 8698‬ he has about 30 discus babies, the pics I posted earlier are all his. He charges R350 each and I have been asking for pics of the parents of these babies but he hasnt sent them to me as yet. So if you make contact mention that you got his details from me as I have told him that there is a number of you interested in getting discus from him.
