    Default Red eggs

    I got a female turq blue, every time she laid eggs the colour of the eggs are red, she laid at lease fifteen time so far, but never off spring, any idea, the fish is imported from VN, and I thing they feed the hormon CR6 or CR5, so, any solution?

    Hey Danny...welcome to SD.

    First of all there is no mention of a male on hand. Forgive me but I had to ask which is possibly why nothing hatched.
    Don't have any experience with hormoned Discus but I'm sure someone else might chime in.
    The eggs you speak off will have a red, orange, yellow colour once laid if that's what your asking and I suspect they turn all white 24+ hrs later.

    To trick customers. Discus model will be pronounced at young ages and the color will be very pronunced.
    Eggs with soft red is a clear indication that those were not raised very natural. I think the astaxanthin could be guilty of this color eggs.

    It's just the color of the fishes eggs.

    I asked this very same question a couple months back because I have a pair that lay blood red eggs.

    Eggs are all sorts of colors.

    Grey, red, yellow, you name it.

    Hormones are really bad for a fish, but I dought that is what is happening now........

    The color affects of hormones will go away with time. The only thing that is perminate isthe damage they leave behind. Different females have eggs of different colors. No big deal.
