Do you have any domestic pairs? Is it possible to pull one batch of eggs one time and let the domestics foster them?
Rick
They were sold to me as Manacapuru blues, but then it was pointed out that that isn't what they looked like at all and looked more cuipuras (bad spelling I know), which were the only other discus received by the supplier at the time. It was speculated that the wrong fish were sent to me, but either way I was happy. The females seem to turn that really bold red colour when spawning. The female of pair 2 is pretty much identical. As much as I like them, they are frustrating me lol. I guess though, I have to admit that several months ago I was frustrated when they wouldn't pair up and spawn, so I'm at least a step or two closer

I would, but the only domestic fish I have is a Male Piwo red Turk. I had some advice tonight to increase my gh because it is almost non existent from the tap. I can measure with a meter and get about 43 TDS and about 90 ms from the cold water tap, but the chemical test (gh) doesn't show anything. Thoughts?

I thought it was time for a new video so I just took this. It is pair 1 - fifth spawn and looks to be the largest spawn yet
Len
I had hoped for that at #3 but they don't seem to have any intention to stop any time soon so I guess keep trying until I figure out what is going wrong.
Len
Cool. I'm sure you're getting some excellent advice from down South, sure hoping at least one of the pairs makes it to the goal.

I'm hoping too Keith. All advice is welcomed and in fact would be appreciated.

Len, what about using something like RO Right or similar product to help boast the GH?
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
LOL Keith

The closest thing I could find was cichlid chemistry, but it may be the same thing. It raises gh without changing ph. I'll try adding enough to bring the gh up to 50 or so once the eggs hatch (by chemical test)

0 gh-do you have a water softner? I thnk what you really need to measure is KH not GH.
