"Keeping Discus Fish - Tropical Discus Fish Care and Breeding Advice"," Anyone who is thinking about keeping discus fish in their home aquarium should of course get all the information they need before actually buying any of them.
Keeping discus fish does require a bit of knowledge on their background, about what to offer to make such pets happy and also what to expect from them.
When first keeping discus fish you will find that they are shy and very calm in general, but when they start making couples they can often become a little bit aggressive due to breeding territory protection.
First off, as you will see with most groups of any type of fish, within a group it is not uncommon that the weakest discus will get bullied; this is something that can unfortunately result in death.
By doing this you will increase the confidence of the group members and you lower the risk of group misbehavior.
For example mating are matters of their own personal choice do not try to force two together.
When you are keeping discus fish that are about to go through the breeding process it is always best to separate them into a different tank specially prepared for the purpose.
Discus fish prepare their area that they are going to use to have their babies by cleaning it first and defending it throughout the whole process.
After about a week the fry will be big enough for you to help with the feeding by giving some baby brine shrimp or even just some flaked food will do.
Use a separate tank for the fry feed them well to support the accelerated growth rate.
At that size you will be able to start to sell your baby discus fish.
