Eggs Again (missed It)

[angelmouse]

my discus pair layed eggs in the community tank again today,i've been watching them clean the bogwood and tryed to catch them laying the eggs so i can see who the female is but missed it. One has a larger vent than other but not sure if you can tell by this, anyone know?
I don't know wether to try and put some kind of tank divider in as the other fish will have them for supper, the last batch lasted nearlt 2 days then disapeared just like magic.
Any advice appreciated Angel

yours are too busy posing for the camera

i put some mesh over the eggs to try and stop them being eaten, but the parents seem abit unsure of it. I'll try and set up a divider tommorrow

I would put the parents on the divided side also, the babies really should be brought up with the parents.

yeh gona do that, it will be nightmare trying to get the right fish on the right side of the divider

Just been outsmarted by my bristlenose, he managed to get into a tiny hole at top of the mesh covering the eggs and ate them all then got stuck in there, little bugger , i had to help him out this morning, i'm sure he was licking his lips so gona set up breeding tank today.

I am sorry to hear that.

I guess there is a will, there is a way. When it comes to those tasty cavior.

I knew you have to set the breeding tank sooner or later. Not many eggs or frys can survive in the community tank. Although I did get some Lemon Tetra survivors now and then when I had a jungle tank.

I'm sure your Discus would make eggs again soon.
