Anyone have any experience with eggs laid on a glass EBO heater? Well, 85% of them were. The other 15% were laid on the bigger ring above the glass. Over 200 eggs in total. The were laid 5 hours or less before I pulled the plug and put a different heater in. The room is pretty warm, it probably didn't cycle too many times.

The pair had laid about 180 to 190 viable eggs last spawn and they currently have like 15 fry attached. Someone ate most of the wrigglers as or when they were about to go free swimming. I accidentally broke their pvc spawning tube loose from it's tile base and I was kind of hoping they'd get some experience raising up a small batch but I guess they have other ideas. I was just going to fire up the bbs for the other ones today. Sigh...

I hope you do not have sunny side down discus eggs. :( How do the eggs look now?

Which pair is it?

It's my RTs. I'd say about 40% of the ones mostly around the outside circle are dead at this point. Time will tell. Think I might dose them with MB in hopes the dead ones won't fungus everything up.

The Red Cover Cross pair also spawn last evening. What I'm guessing is a typical spawn size of about 4 dozen Jeff? They ate 60 - 70 percent of them over night. I caged the rest, hoping to confirm the pair.
