Thread: Discus Eggs! help!

    Default Discus Eggs! help!

    Discus laid eggs, I separated the eggs with a bubbler to fan eggs with MB.
    It's about to be 3 days and no hatching yet. Any ideas why

    its possible they aren't fertile. did you see two discus attending to the eggs? are your intentions to artificially raise fry?

    Was supervising their every move male and female on post the whole time. Some seems dark within 24 hours and yes I was planning to artificially raise them.

    if they haven't hatched after 72 i'd say they aren't going to hatch. Usually 48 hours is all it takes. Its possible you have two females, or that the male isn't doing his job.

    if I were you I would let the eggs stay with the parents until you get wrigglers, and then separate them. The pair may indeed be proven but they may need a few more practice runs in a new environment and with new parameters to get it right in your tank. I would toss that batch of eggs and start again.

    The eggs picture looks around 50 hrs and some eggs
    are turning grey meaning fertile. Check your water parameters .

    Yea i did a lot of research and seems like nobody had this issue before so thought it was safe to wash off and restart.
