Success at last

[LizStreithorst]

What do I have to do to get a break? Now they've decided that they don't like one another. They're fighting. I can either put a divider in the tank or stick them in a 100 gallon Ram tank.

Sorry Liz! Hope they change their minds. They are great looking discus. Luv the blue. Seems like everything is red now.

[CliffsDiscus]

Liz, maybe you can add a couple more Discus in the tank this will force them to rebond.

[LizStreithorst]

Cliff, I only have 6 Discus, all pairs in breeding tanks except these to fighters who are now in a 100 gallon with a bunch of black rams. Since they've been in with the rams, suddenly they find each others company isn't so bad after all.

Liz put a Divider in the tank, Give them a few days to forget about the last batch eggs and then pull the divider.. I have a pair that do this every time a spawn fails.. Its like they blame each other lol

I'm gonna try them for a few days in the Ram tank first. It's almost as clean as my Discus breeding tanks. After a time out with the blacks, I'll put in a divider and put one on each side. Would you suggest Poret foam so they can't see each other or egg crate so they can?

[brewmaster15]

I let them see each other.. so egg crate

[LizStreithorst]

Will do.

[LizStreithorst]

Well, well, well, wouldn't you just know it. They have returned to being a pair. They're pecking on the side of the tank and driving off the evil rams. I need to cut the egg crate a bit so it fits the breeding tank and get them moved as soon as I finish lunch.

[CliffsDiscus]

Liz, are you going to replace the spawning cone? Good news!

[LizStreithorst]

No, I did as Al suggested and moved them back to their own tank each on their own side of the divider. there's a clone in the female's side. I ma remove the divider tomorrow.
