Male discus tube burned

[malhilo]

Hi
One month ago, I came home to find that one of my pairs are laying eggs on the heater, I turned the heater off.
That was the last time I have seen the male fertilizing eggs..
I think his tube got burned, Also I noticed that his tube became smaller, and when the female lays eggs, his tube never comes out as used to be..

Yesterday the female laid eggs again, I kept watching, he just kept watching without even trying to fertilize the eggs..

Any help!
Thanks.

lol, many of us wouldn't know how to fix ours properly, not to mention the fish ^____^;

i would just give him plenty of good clean water and hope for the best. in the meantime there are heater guards u can buy to protect fish from heater damage. u can also build ur own heater guards using pvc tubes with holes drilled in them, there are likely how-to vids of this on youtube.
