Wow, that is great! I've always heard it's really hard to breed Discus, was that true?
I think your thread title is funny. I thought you were offering a new meal deal at McDonalds at first. Thankfully not.
Thanks fishfinder!That's a beautiful pair of Discus that you have. I remember a LFS in the '70s told me that Discus fry eat their parent's slime coat when newly hatched. It appears they were right. I imagine the fry will grow up to be as beautiful as the parents. Good job!
Thank you MediaHound!Congrats Sivan, I'm so happy for you! The pictures are beautiful as well, bravo!
Thank you Harry! Yes, I have lot of work to be done now, haha!Congratulations they are gorgeous and good pairs are rare.The second crucial part starts right now so I wish you all the best!
Amazing picture,could you tell us a few things about the pair and the water chemistry that this wonderful birth took place?

I mean,was it success at once? If not,did any of the parents use to eat the eggs in the first place?
What is the Ph?Do you use R.O water for them?I think it is extremely interesting for all discus lovers.:animated_fish_swimm
Yes, or else they haven't a chance.That was smart of you to move them to their own tank.
Thank you for your prompt answer.Thanks Harry!

Four weeks ago, I saw that they formed pairs. They live with 14 other Discus. Three weeks ago the laid eggs. The eggs hatched but was eaten by the other Discus. Two weeks ago I prepared a smaller aquarium. I cleaned it properly and just took water from the tap with pH 7.9. The Aquarium was standing one day before I moved the couple. After one day, the laid eggs again. So this was the second time for them and they take good care of the babies as well. I have not done anything about the water.
Now do I change the water three times a day and have begun feeding with Artemia.
