LOL, no I didn't. I've had flimsier ones and the dang fish would push them up against the eggs/wrigglers and still eat them. In fact before I clipped a couple wires at the edges normal cluster area and pushed them back so they would maintain a 1/2 inch gap, another pair pushed this wire one back and ate a batch. This one ain't moving anymore, and the second layer prevents them from eating through it. I think the female ate the last batch as they went free swimming, hence her being separated this time. I think/hope he will tend them instead.

lookin' good so far keith... finger's crossed
Jay,
the reason i like discus?... is discus seem to like me.
And get this. So my marlboros spawned in a community tank about a month ago. Unconfirmed male, but sure appears to be one. Eats eggs when they're laid a lot. So caged those eggs, moved eggs and pair to a breeder, none were viable. So I dumped them back in the community 55 since they haven't done anything since then, they were two confirmed in that tank that haven't done anything in 6 months. Within an hour, maybe half an hour, the RTs were bowing, shimming, and cleaning the cone just put in that end of the tank. A few minutes later the BD male and BSS female are doing the same thing on the cone on the other end of the tank, and also chasing the marlboros away. It was pretty late last night, so nothing else happened. Could be a busy night tonight though.

That is a lovely pair Keith and really like the female. She is a sweet fish and very red. Surely she can not be an egg eater...appears so innocent. Could be an interesting night for you with all the love sign.
In the meantime my second pair are eating their eggs and the first pair have a new clutch on the cone.
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
those egg's look viable to me keith...

Beautiful shots there.. That female is stunning!
Thanks Ciddian, and being a Cunuck, you know a beautiful red when you see one. Being from the U.P. of Michigan, always saw a lot of the Maple leaf. Stock car races, trips through the Soo, etc.
So far so good Jay. Maybe a half dozen white ones at almost 48 hours. Fingers crossed it looks that way tomorrow at half time of the Packers game. Who are they playing again, lol. The black and orange may be blacked and blued tomorrow. If the blitzes get to Culter, it's going to be a long day for Bears fans...again.
Yea Pat, if I have any suspected culls maybe I'll put them in with her and see what happens. It was one of them.
