Thanks everybody. Yes im very pleased and hopefull regarding the F1.
First spawn resulted in around 130 F1, second around 60. Im preparing the setup for the next. The last couple of months they have had "holiday". But no worries - i know my fish and can make them spawn almost on command ;) arh almost... :lol:
But anyhow their spawning water are almost the same as for my culture discus. 180-220 microS/cm, pH 6,2-6,4. Filtering over peat. 250 l BB aquarium. But I experimentet with rain season simulation.

very beautiful discus, congratulations, also for the you. Just note: these are NOT reds from Nhamunda, but somewhere from the Alenquer region. The Nhamundá discus ou can see in my book, are always very rounbd discus, contrary to thoese from alenquer region.

Anyhow, beauties, and all the very best

always

Hello Heiko,
Thanks for the roses.
hmmm, ok. Based on nhamunda discus always are round?
Anyway they are bought as Nhamunda reds (M) in 2006 from Manaus. I even think they are pretty round, maybe the angle on the pic make it difficult? You have to explain more.

How old are your little one's now?

Any problem with different size's in the same batch ?

Lot of questions, sorry for that :slick:

Oh wow, the parents are gorgeous. I'm sure the juveniles would be just as good if not better! :heart5:

What are you feeding them? I think they are a little bit on the thin side.

Thanks.
Hmmm you mean the youngsters a a little bit thin? The picture is taken in an inpropiate angle, which maybe make some of them look a bit akward/thin. But however they a not fat. They are fed with beefheartmix, artemia, discusgranules, mussel, chironimo (red mosqitolarvae). Especially meat (and only meat) from boiled mussel are the favorite og all my discus. ;)
