i've never bred discus before. I have one in my aquarium though. In the past angelfish has laid eggs ( like 2 or 3 months ago) and yesterday my parrot cichlid laid eggs. I dont know why, but it laid eggs without another parrot? Well i think my discus was supposed to fertilize the eggs since my parrot was only letting discus come near the eggs(not other fish). But i dont know if he fertilized it. All i saw him do was hover right on top of the eggs. So basically what i want to know is if my aquarium had these fish bred, can my aquarium breed discus?

You don't say anything about your tank size, for two adult discus you would need alot of space for them to be able to move around. I don't think it's capable of fertilizing the parrots eggs though.

so in my tank iv 8 discus fish,neon tetras,glow tetras,3 swordtails,2mollies and about 7 wild guppys what i breed my self.iv got 4 corys and a plec.
i have another prob tho iv noticed my male black mollie and one of my small discus seems to be pecking at my bigger discus fish im just worried it could hurt it.any ideas
thanks andy

discus are best kept with their own species,in small groups of 5-6.
Your mixture is not all suitable,first off the molly should not be in here(they need the salt in water&they also give off a salt excretion through scales)Cory&pleco will be fine with discus,but the other tropicals would be better suited to their own tank.As opposed to with cichlids.Having said that,discus cohabit fine with tetras(cardinal,neon,rummynose)are great.
Discus need very soft,acidic(PH:6.0-6.5) water&warm(72-79f).
With your full,combination they will never be comfortable enough to pair off&spawn.They will also benefit from chopped earthworms&beef heart(but at pet store)SIZE:discus female 15cm(6inches)male discus 15cm(6inch)
Keep in mind that smaller fish may get chased as discus try to pick partner/territory(&some in house fighting between males will happen when wanting to spawn)
Keep in mind amonia levels(with that many fish,there will be alot of excretion being transformed into noxious poisons(nitrate/nitrite)cycles should be well monitored.(a change in fish behaviour)aggresive/chasing,very frantic swimming ect.is a great indicator of condition/water imbalance.
Tankmates are fine,except the molly&black molly,they are sensitive&require a little more care to maintain peak health&longevity(than most brackish)also ofcourse any fry dropped in tank will be snavelled up(live food)dy discus.
GOOD LUCK.
(i have a lot of books/care sheets on all above fish)if need info,just ask

Do you guys make a lot of money or profit breeding fish? because I would like to start breeding my angelfish and discus, but im not so sure if it's worth it since the breeding tank setups i've seen looks so expensive.

I think some people seriously bs or exaggerate in here about what you can make. First things first, you can FORGET selling to any chain stores. 99% of these, Petco's or PetsRUs, or Petland Discounts ect…are corporately binded into buying agreements already. You might find a few exceptions where a District Manager or something is allowed to make small local purchases, but that's something that's worth your time to speak with them before you just jump into breeding for money.

Secondly, you need ALOT of tank. I don't have a fish room per se like sexy cat mentioned, but I do have a combination of five different tanks, with three large main tanks, and two smaller fry tanks. Not all my Africans breed at one time, so in the between times, the fry tanks serve also as isolation and hospital tanks. Because I've worked well with Africans, I've also been able to get my Africans to function in a community setting that doesn't contain all Africans, and even Cory cats are in my tanks. The advantage of knowing what you are doing in this case. I can use the non African fish to go in isolation tanks during non breeding to keep my bio filters going.

Then you have to consider foods too. Fry don't eat the same foods adults do, so you'll need specialty foods for them for the first few weeks. I'm not sure, but I think both Discus and Angels are egg layers. You may have to devote some serious time and attention to make sure you protect your fry from predatiation. I'm not sure how well those fish are as parents, but if you're thinking about money, THAT is your money, the fry.

You don't really need some massive cannister filter set up honestly, and much of that varies on what level of breeding/selling you are aiming to get into. Mass selling is going to take you years to build a reliable set up. Local selling, and you also have eBay and craigslist to advertise is a good way to start out. The advantage to selling via eBay, aquabid, craigslist etc, is you can sell as needed. If you get binded into a coporate contract, which would be a rarity, you HAVE to provide fry regardless if you had a disease wipe out your stock or whatever. Just consider that.

I've made a few 100 bucks over the year or two selling, but my selling was like I said, off eBay and cichlid-forum trade post. I never did that expecting to make money I could enjoy, but more of less as an added pleasure is all.
