No i ma not saying that they are hard to breed or easy to breed. I am saying the species in general are fairly easy to breed if you take the time to give them the correct water conditions. THe reason they are not available in a pet store is simply the price. No pet store hobbiest well the average pet store hobiest isnt going to buy a fish for 200 dollars. Now dont flip i am accounting for the price increase that the pet stores do. I have contacted a few singapore discus breeders and they said that most of their discus raise the fry but becasue if the inbreeding that they do have to hand raise a few. Once again the batfins were just and example. O okay i thought that the highfin were the beginning of the batfin. I heard this but i cannot remeber who told me i think it was Smokey but i aint sure. No my turq is like 3.5 4 inches i put a ruler up to the tank. I feed both blood worms and beefheart. I just wasnt sure what u were refering too. No i mean it sits on the bottom but not for more than 30 minutes then i vacum it all off. The tank is perfectly clean the sponges are clean the back wall is the only wall with algea for my Bristolnose pleco. And there is never any waste on the bottom of my tank. The discus stand for them selves they have no stress bars are eting and are perfectly healthy. Just becasue you are a "expert" and a breeder doesnt mean you know everything. I dont know everything either not even close. But if it makes you feel superior try to rip on some teenager because his tank has food that was fed 30 minutes ago. I am sorry i have to feed this way but if you could tell me how to get my fish to feed from my hand i am all ears.
