![]() ![]() But is that what happens when you cross-breed color strains? Last week, we visited an old fish store that had “locally bred discus” for sale. Of that, there’s the possibility that two color patterns could yield similarly colored / patterned offspring.īut I’m questioning what would happen if they’re not male female pairs (discus are hard to sex) and if, instead, two very different color morphs pair off? What I’m trying to figure out is colorations. the light colored sides so that fry will go to parents to eat from their slime coat, the breeding cone, etc. I get the water parameters typically necessary. Like with other fish we’ve bred, I’ve done a lot of reading and video watching. ![]() Now, as these reach breeding size, I’m beginning to imagine breeding them. And it turns out that, generally speaking, they’re really not that much different than Angelfish to keep. It started for us with just a couple to see if they were as impossible to keep as “the internet” said. SO what’s happened is that we’ve gotten a bunch of discus virtually at cost ($25-$50 each). but realized that his responsibilities were too much for that. He decided he’d set up his own Discus tank at home. No one here is going to spend $75 or more on a fish that requires an experienced level of care, a decent sized aquarium, and might die unless parameters at the outset are excellent. Now, this same LFS owner has tried in vain to interest the hillbillies in our region in discus. I still feel pretty bad at it, but my LFS owner thinks I’m performing witchcraft in my basement. we have a few years here of breeding tons of fish. ![]() species breeding and some difficult types of spawning, Advanced Breeder is the milestone below that - 300 points. By way of perspective, if Master Breeder is 500+ points with C.A.R.E.S. Brief background: my oldest son has earned his Advanced Breeder award in our Fish Club’s Breeder’s Award Program, and I’m chasing his score now. ![]()
