Yes I breed Discus and angles and about any tetra there is back as a kid . Just add more Peat moss until you get to where you want it to be also a tea bag does a great job for adding the Tannin's to the water if its the look you want .. But you can't add to much might want to also get some Sodium phosphates to add to the tanks to soften the water and about 1 Tsp or 5 mi of unidolized table salt to 20 gals of tank water to help soften it up a bit more also will help ward off the discus disease The name escapes me now.. I used to use about 2 cups of peat moss per 50 gals of water to get them to spawn. Once you get to the color of water you want then pull it and remove about 1/2 of the Moss you will have to make adjustments as the make up water determins the amount that is needed. If you use the R/O water then you will be better off hardwater is hard on these types of fish. No pun intended (: But you can't add to much moss to harm anything..
