Hey all,
I'm trying to breed a 4 inch Blue Diamond Discus pair in an 80 gallon aquarium with small 1mm sand, 2 big blue sponge filters, heater, some plants and a breeding cone.
They lay eggs once a week and than eat the babies a day or 2 after they become free swimming.
Should I remove the sponge filters for a while because maybe they are too dark and the fry get confused? Perhaps lower the air pump so as to cause less water movement?
I also leave ambient light around this quarium when there are eggs and babies around, temp is at 84.5F at all times.
Concerning ph, kh and gh, my tap has a ph of around 7.6. GH 4.5, KH 3. If I add Acid Buffer, it raises the tds. I cannot use an RO system. Is there any other solution to this issue?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
