Nice ! You got a good pair that waste little time ..
I fear the same when I remove my fry ...
Haha nice one Jeff! There's a bunch of wiggler's there mate When it rains it pours right Tom!! We spend so much time trying to help our fish get it right and when they do it's a fry downpour!!
Yup. These two are consistent

almost there!
Hi Danny, what's the typical % hatch rate? I don't think I'm even getting 50%.
I'm not sure if I'm getting fungus then losing eggs or losing eggs because they are not fertilized and then fungus gets to them.
Looks like the eggs are fertilize on the third or fourth day then they fungus up. Medication like MB may help you get an larger % .
Cliff
look how cute they are
Yup! Spamming MB from day 1. Maybe I'll have to increase dosage.
Hi Jeff. I have only ever had wiggler's so I don't really know what % is the norm. Things that may affect fertilization could be high water flow near the spawning site, distractions/disruption from other fish or people, or fungus like Cliff said. Some people cover the front of tank for privacy, sides as well of there's fish right next door. I'm pretty sure I have read here that Liz and Tom actually drizzle undiluted MB directly over the eggs as well as adding to water, hopefully they will chime in. I am not experienced at all with breeding discus, and the only fry I have raised were already 2" that I received from CaptainTom. I'm enjoying your progress mate!
Hi cliff!
Do you mean to say to add MB 2 days before eggs are laid?
Hi Danny!
No worries! We're all discovering new stuff as we go along. I appreciate all your replies and encouragement!
