    Unfortunately by this following morning they were all gone (in fact the angels were eating their own eggs as fast as they laid them ), but I'm just amazed that three species now reproduced in my system, including freaking DISCUS. The conditions I provided must just be that good.

    I briefly entertained the idea of making a new setup just for the discus pair, but they weren't the most expensive type out there ($90 each, when higher end ones go for multiple hundreds) and by the time I went through all the hassle I probably wouldn't break even. Still though, can't believe I've gotten what's widely considered the coupe de grace of freshwater fish to breed, without even actively trying.
    Without wanting to pizz on your chips ( uk saying ) .. I had a Discus tank years ago and for whatever reason .. I think life got difficult. Anyways I stopped cleaning the tank out , stopped the water changes .. the glass was thick with algae … I just fed them …

    Anyways one day I happened to look in and there were little babies feeding off their parents skin / slime ..

    All through complete neglect !
