JE: Your fish always look incredible. They have received some great praise from folks here on the site, so tell us more about your breeding plan. What strains are you the most happy with? Which do you think need some work?
What strain/s do you like best, personally? Do you have any breeding goals?
L: Thanks for the compliments. To be frank, I am still a newbie and still learning every day. My breeding goals are to produce some strains like a pure golden spotted snake, yellow white spotted and white spotted but all these have to be done with selective breeding as in only breeding the best to achieve results and I am sure it would take a few generations or even several years to get them right. This is something I am still working on. Personally I like the white as they have the angelic look and spotted fish because of the breathtaking patterns and the fact that every spotted fishes looks different. You wouldn't be able to find identical twins. So I would like to create a strain that has the combo of both. 
JE: Any tips on breeding or raising discus? Please give us something we can use!
L: I believe dedication plays a very big part in breeding and raising discus. To breed you need patience. To raise them you need dedication. As long as you do what you have to do, the results will show. Balanced diet and regular water changes are the key. No matter how dead tired I am, I still do w/c for my fishes every night before I go to bed. If you want your discus to grow fast make sure you do not feed them after your last w/c if you are doing a couple of small w/c a day. That is why I will always do w/c in the nighttime. For growout I feed them beefheart most of the time to get the thickness and shape. Never stop learning. I have never stop asking questions and the internet forums do give me tons of good tips and idea of how to improve my knowledge on keeping discus. But then again you need to judge the advice yourself. What works for others might not work for you. more... |
