Amazing Discus parental care captured on video in an aquarium shop Down Under.

Video shows a Blue Turquoise Breeding Pair of Discus in our Shop Tank, with Fry at 9 days and 14 days after hatching.
Watching these fish breeding is an amazing sight and is worth your time, effort and expense. A breeding pair forms a strong bond and lays eggs on a vertical surface which they diligently clean beforehand. In this video, a Discus Terracotta Breeding Cone is used. Once the eggs are laid, the pair fans their eggs and they hatch a few days later.
The pair will protect and defend the huge clutch of fry, and will allow them to feed off their special body slime coats.
I want to learn how to breed discuss.
Yang Bo Ming, might we suggest ordering the back issue of our Discus Special; November/December 2012? Or, get instant access to it in our digital archive (available with both the digital-only or the print+digital subscription options)
