White Discus Fish Room
White discus, white discus what are you trying to tell me? Yes, white is pure, it’s the color of most wedding gowns. We’re the good guys, the guys with the white hats. Maybe that’s old school now with the advent of the anti-heroes on television like Tony Soprano and Walter White. Snow White, white snow. We all loved playing in the snow, building snow forts, throwing snow balls, skiing, snowboarding.
All good, positive, fun stuff. Sure. White lightning….dad said when I asked him what was that clear liquid he was hiding in a mayonnaise jar in his personal liquor cabinet. Sheesh…..that kind of grain alcohol can’t always be good. But the Beatles’ White Album….hmmm…..not sure, but it sure makes you think and wonder about white…so….yeah….critics say most of the songs on the album were written in 1968 (when I was 10 years old) when the Fab Four were at a transcendental meditation retreat while in Rishikesh, India. I used to love John Lennon; he was my favorite Beatle. But then I switched to George. My wife switched too, to Paul, because he was the cutest. George, though…he was, they say, the most spiritual. His contribution to the White Album, While My Guitar Gently Weeps….now that song I think should be ranked (and most likely is ranked) in the top 10 Rock songs of all time. George got it. Of course he’s gone now, passed on from cancer, but his songs and the songs of the Beatles will live on long after all four Fabs are gone.
But let’s get back to snow. There’s nothing like that first snowfall! When my brother got married, his best man Paul, came up from Florida. At the time of the wedding Paul was in his 20s and had never seen snow. He lived in the sunshine state his whole life and it had never snowed. So when the first flurries started drifting downward on the day of my brother’s wedding, Paul ran outside and jumped for joy! The pure white discus reminds me of that Paul and Paul McCartney, the White Album, and the pure joys of music which is indeed the universal language.

[…] That being said, they are hardy enough that it can be planted in cold water tanks as well. It is not, however, suitable for use in very cold water and should not be placed in outdoor ponds. […]
what is the smallest size tank you can use for breeding
My water has a high ph which is the best way to treat
My Discus pair have begun to spawn every week since Christmas. The eggs are fertile. As they hatch, the parents seem to fight over the babies; which then soon disappear. What should I do?
Can golden nugget plecos do well in a discus tank? In 84 degrees? Thank you.
Im having issues off and on by loosing fish. I have 7.6 ph tap water. I keep a 40 gallon barrel with heater and air Stone. I treat the barrel to lower ph in between weekly water changes for 40 and 90 gallon tanks. Any suggestions are welcomed.
I have 2 pair of Breeding Discus. They are all in separate breeding Tank (20 Gallon). The female lay eggs almost every week. the male also ejaculates, but within a few weeks, the fertilization fails. Eggs are all white, and I am not successful. Are both male impotent? Sometimes they also eat their eggs. Can you help me ? Thx
I love discus but always die on me. Now I understand have to be a no current pushing the flow. Temperature, tetras instead of angels. Etc…
I received in the shipment of the purchase #10880 an extra package of a yellow powder that medicine is and how they are used. Excellent the fish shipped although 2 of the 4 Altums 2 of them were not the expected size 3” but very healthy and beautiful fish the super excellent and punctual packaging under the adverse weather conditions to send.
When you say a discus size is 4″ is that measured to the base of the tail or the end of the tail?
Thanks
Great article and very informative.
I myself use to use 3 large canister filters in my 150 gallon xh aquarium, but maintaining 3 sun sun 704b canister filters became alot of work for me and made it hard for me to enjoy my discus I purchased from DISCUS.COM. so I took the plunge into a sump for my discus tank. 40 breeder aquarium makes a great sump…and now I definitely enjoy sitting and relaxing watching my beautiful discus…maintaining my sump is very easy and takes minutes, instead of hours cleaning several canister filters….also adds volume and is a place to add all my equipment…thank you Michael for providing such a wonderful website with loads of information and beautiful discus..
Where do you get your starter batch
What is the best medicine for it?
I basically want to know what meds I should have on hand
I have a few questions rather than a comment.
Would opening the shipping bag and allowing the built-up CO2 (from the trip) to escape suddenly raise the pH and make the ammonia in the water from the trip dangerous (by a sudden conversion from ammonium to ammonia due to the pH rise)?
Would it be safer to prepare new water at the pH they are accustomed to and then open the bag and quickly transfer them to the fresh water without ammonia present?
Also, what pH are your discus accustomed to so I may match my water to yours? Thank you, Mark, California.
Excellent readibg
