JE: Any tips on breeding or raising discus?

RW: Patience. It's so common to hear discus about parents eating up their wrigglers or eggs. Discus do this all the time. Parental instinct is strong in this fish and that is what makes them so special. Again, source for the best available breeding stocks.

When you do get successful spawns, be prepared to make a lot of sacrifices with regard your leisure time. Fry do require a lot of attention and care when they are growing up. I always admire hobbyists that manage to produce high quality discus knowing the amount of time they poured into this hobby.

JE: What do you feed your discus?

RW: I only feed my fish BeefHeart mix. Bloodworms are only fed to the breeders.


JE: What is your most exhilarating moment with discus?

RW: Huge spawns. It always brings a smile to my face when I see the breeders covered with fry. Its amazing how well these fish care for their young.


JE: What is your most frustrating moment with discus?

RW: It would be when my breeders decides to go on strike on me. They just look at you dumbly and pretend not to notice the cone.


JE: Do you have any future discus plans that you would like to share with us?

RW: My goal would be to create more new strains and make better-shaped discus. There is always room for improvement.
