Typical Discus

[RadaR]

I would have thought that the fry need the parents because the fry feed of the parent's mucus for a stage.

I've seen that before. From my POV it's one of the most amazing habits I've seen, all the mini discus shimmering away! I thought this could maybe be suplimented in some way if the fry were seperate? Might be talking rubish, but i would think it could be possible

Just watched them lay another batch of eggs so i now know the pigeonblood is female, then the marlboro followed and i gather fertilized them. First time i've seen it happen, amazing to watch. i've been looking for the last day as i knew it was due and i done a water change late last night which seems to prompt them into action,they've got better at it there are more eggs this time.
might try moving eggs and parents into another tank this evening.

Moved them to breeding tank now with the eggs but they haven't gone near them yet, they don't seem to realize that their eggs went with them. hopefully they will have found them by the morning.

Congrats. At last you have suceeded. Now it is your care to take all precautions during hatching. Have you taken any

photos stage by stage. This will give a valuble informations in discus breeding. My tank contains 6 grown up discus

and 6 small ones. I spend lot of time in watching my pets, to find out the exact pair. Till now I could not make out

anything. I am very anxious in breeding. Help me with some informations.

Thanks,
with regards.

this is them settled in new breeder, i will try and update with more photos if all goes well but it is a first for us both, not sure if there is anything i can do to protect eggs, i've read people use methylene blue or salt.

It's probably because your discus are quite young, only be a matter of time 8) .
Angelmouse I have heard methylene blue stops eggs becoming infected with fungus, I don't know aobut salt though.I thinm most breeders don't add anything?!

Oh yea, they look happy in the breeder tank btw!

 

[angelmouse]

anyone know how i can use methylene blue on the eggs without it affecting sponge filter bacteria?
Thanks angel
