What it does + when to use it

Vertical ceramic cone for discus pair egg-laying. Fits into the standard aquarium / pond gear stack with specific use-cases that determine sizing and placement.

Sizing for your tank or pond

Match discus breeding cone capacity to your water volume + livestock load. Oversize by 20-40% rather than match exactly - gives you headroom for stocking growth + buffers against equipment degradation over time.

Setup + maintenance

Follow manufacturer instructions exactly. Most failures trace back to skipped steps in initial commissioning. Document your setup in a notebook + photograph plumbing connections so future maintenance + troubleshooting is faster.
