I used to breed them and yes to grow them to that perfect round shape you need pretty clean water. Although I have found as of late if you buy captive bred (lots of people doing it now) they are much hardier and accustomed to our water conditions. In a 120gallon tank you wouldnt need to do near the WCs either.

If you ever get a chance stop in at Gold's in Calgary, Dennis has some nice ones over his counter and some rare breeding pairs in the back. I think I seen some Highfin Turquoise and Albino Snake Skins when I was in there Boxing Day.

Pristine water for FW is pretty simple, buy a python and do 50% water changes weekly, that and put a couple of plants that's what I do and it's proven very effective so far.

Thats not prisitne for Discus. To raise discus to get that perfect round you need to do 75-100% WCs daily or every other day. If you dont mind a little oval or dont need perfection then you can slack off a little.

Most breeders I see that are medium to large scale use a constant drip system that would change 75-100% every 24 hrs.
