Hello

I come here to ask for your help ...


Well, I have two cubes in which each has osmosis water, a couple of discus who that already breading, and a couple of brand new apisto.

The values of the water int these tanks:
ph 5.8-6
Gh = 1.12 ° gH
Kh = 0.056 ° kH
Ammonia = 0
Nitrites = 0
ppm = 50ppm

The couple of discus had a posture that after ten minutes they were sniffing about 10 eggs.

I know that the male can not fertilize, but this is the fifth spawning happens the same ...

I use methylene after fertilization of the male, but no avail.

I have a temperature of 28/29 ° C
TPAs 2 on 2 days of plus or minus 20 liters water (osmosis)
Food: vipan Sera, sera and the ganulado troppical for disks, frozen brine shrimp.

The fish are healthy.

Does anyone have an ideia why this is hapenning?


Thanks to all
Eddie

Sorry but I am not really understanding what the question is here. Your water is pretty much perfect for fertilization. Have these fish produced fry before? How old are the fish?

Hello,

thanks for your time.

This couple has 2 years old, and they produced more and better....

I know that the parameters of this water is good, but I donīt understand why the eggs became white in 10 minutes

Thank you

Ah okay, so maybe they are throwing bad eggs???? I'd first try to get them on a better diet, something higher in protein. Can you try another food instead of the brine shrimp? Maybe some type of worms (NOT TUBIFEX) or an already made mix.

Hi,

I can try to feed them with white bloodworms is all I have for now.

Is that a good ideia?

Yes, include white worms instead of the brine shrimp and see how that fairs in their next few spawns.

I would try the pro more with garlic http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?79659-Super-Beef-Heart-Flake-Food-info
I have not done this myself but if it's anything like the pro more growth I would definitely try it.
It is also possible they have internal parasites. If the food don't work I would think of a metro/deworm treatment
