Our next Project for the Aquaristik Fachmagazin. It is a long-term Project, taking care of this beautiful Stendker-SANTAREM Discus Fish in a Nature Aquarium. It is now 7 months old and runs like a Champ! You can read the first article about setting up this project in the magazine coming out next month and the following ones describing how to take care and maintenance the tank!

The 1. Year – “GROW UP”-documentation by Florian Nolte
THANK YOU to Mr. Nolte, he wrote to us:
Hello Mrs. Stendker, now I´m sending you the pictures from day 1 until to this day. I have got the STENDKER-Discusfish for just over 1 year and they have evolved very well. I received the discus at the size of approximately 8 cm. Everything is running fine and in the meantime they have reached the size of
14 – 15 cm.
According to your suggestions I fed with 100g blister and 500g flat-bars STENDKER-Good Heart as follows:
3 x times a day Stendker beef heart (defrosted in a fridge), dosing calculated for 14 discus, 31,5 g per day. I have got the animals since 15.05.2014 and they really gained in weight and mass.
I would always buy animals from you, because quality has got highest priority. The service of your office-team has got high significance, always nice behavior in case of questions and concerns.
Summary: I would by animals from you again and again and I can only suggest everyone to buy Stendker Discus-Fish.
However, with this I´m not creating an official breeding documentation. As the founder of the group “Discus Friends”, I preliminary like to show to other discus-keepers how to breed small discus from 8 cm to final size. I make notes about the progress and in the end of the documentation I´m going to publish my personal result. At the moment, I have just uploaded some photos and a video within the group “Discus Friends”. With my documentation I intend to show the people that the suggestions you give on your homepage are working and that they are easily to realize if you follow the following:
Size of the aquarium: 180 liter during the breeding. Terms of water-change: once a week approximately 40-50 % of the total volume. Feeding: 3 times a day with the suggested Stendker beef heart mixture measured in precise gram.
At the moment I have got 14 Stendker-Discus:
They are 7 x Tefé, 4 x Santarem, 2 x Red Scribbelt, 1 Red Tourqoise. I keep them in an aquarium with the size 100x40x40 and 160 l water. For the filtration I use a Hamburger mat filter which is working with an Eheim compact pump. To reach the desired oxygen saturation I have got two aeration stones running for 24 hours. I also added a night-light. Before the changing water is running into the aquarium, it is running through a carbon blocking filter which exists from two parts – a sediment part in the first and a carbon block cartridge in the second part.
During the breeding, I use the following products:
-Aqua Kraut (by Discusstudio Tinnes), - Preis Discus Minerals (my water is very soft with just a little amount of minerals), - carbon blocking filter.
My water parameters are as follows: N03: 10; No2: 0; GH: 7; KH: 3-6; PH: 6.4; CL2: 0.
With my GROW UP Dokumentation I like to show that the suggestions from your homepage are working.
At the end of the documentation time the animals will be transferred into an aquarium with more than 500 l water, which will be built up close to their nature and their natural habitat. The only difference shall be in the fact that they are offsprings of Stendker breedings. Therefore I mostly took natural colour strains.

Dennerle Pflanzen für das Diskus-Aquarium
Dennerle InVitro Pflanzen aus dem Labor sind wegen der Sterilität auch gut bei unseren Diskusfischen zu verwenden und brauchen in der Regel nicht mehr auf die bakterielle Verträglichkeit getestet zu werden!
