Spawning usually takes place on a flat vertical surface,but many pairs choose to lay their eggs on a broadleaf plant such as an Amazon Sword. The eggs are fanned forthree days before they hatch and the fry is then moved around theaquarium by the mouth of the parents many times for another 4days.
Likewise, how often do discus lay eggs?
When and if the discus spawn in thisstage, they will lay eggs every week for up to fifteenweeks. This cycle usually occurs twice a year and can berigged with careful adjustment of feeding, temperature and waterconditions.
Similarly, you may ask, at what age do Discus start breeding?
Females usually mate at about 9 months of age,while males usually mate at 13 months.
originally the wild discus would produce 300-400fry per spawn. hatched and raised artificially if my pairsdid not produce an average of two hundred fry per spawn iwould split up the pair.
