JE: How did you decide to take the plunge into breeding as a professional endeavor?
RK: I have not plunged into breeding discus as a professional but have a day job and a partner who manages the hatchery full time. I would visit the hatchery during the weekends to help out and to pair off the adult fishes. JE: What were the major obstacles involved in setting up as a breeder? Any advice for aspiring breeders? RK: Breeding fishes with vigor and nice body shape was difficult. There were many occasions where me and my partner would sit in front of a tank of fry at 1-2" and critique each fish for body shape, gill cover, eye and finnage. For aspiring breeders a word of advice is always start with good and healthy stock from reputable breeders. Choose the fish yourself if you can or ask for second opinions. JE: How many pairs do you currently have producing? How many tanks? What would be the maximum you could handle with that system? RK: We have about 15 pairs breeding at any one time and the other pairs are in the community tank resting. The pairs are usually rested for about 1-2 weeks depending on their condition after breeding. There are 51 seventy-five gallon and 21 thirty gallon tanks in the present setup. If the hatchery was to be fully utilized, it should be able to accommodate about 2500 2" fishes comfortably. more... |
