That's a good point. I've noticed mine do better near the filter outflow. Maybe try repositioning yours?

Thanks for the insights, everyone. I think I'll give the Red Turquoise a try and see how they do in my setup. I'll keep an eye on the water quality and adjust the lighting if needed.

I've been keeping Discus for about a year now, and I'm curious about the differences in color strains. My current tank has a mix of Blue Diamonds and Pigeon Bloods, but I'm thinking of adding some Red Turquoise. Anyone have experience with how these strains compare in terms of vibrancy and stability ...

No problem! Let us know how it works out. My pair's already gearing up for another spawn, so the terracotta must be doing something right.

I've had good luck with terracotta pots cut in half. They're cheap and easy to find. Just make sure to sand the edges smooth so your fish don't get hurt. My pair laid eggs on one last week, and the fry are doing great. Tank's at 82°F, with a canister filter and driftwood.
