I have eggs!

[Fish from Philly]

Got my first discus from Hans few weeks back and last night I saw eggs for the second time! There are a lot more this time. I keep 5 discus in a 150 gallon with plants, about 15 rummys, 5 cardinals, 4 rams, spaghetti eel, 4 emperors, and a BN pleco. during the first spawn, only a few eggs turned white and I noticed on the second day, there were little dark specs. By the time I got home from work, the eggs were gone. Would the parents have eaten them? Other fish in community?

I don't have high hopes for having these hatch but if they do, that would be very cool! I would seperate them eventually and try to give them to store or breeder as I won't have time to care for them properly. 79948

It is rare for a spawn to survive in a community tank. Someone in the tank will eat them.

Could have been eaten by the parents or any of the other the fish. If you are curious, put a divider in the tank and give the pair some of their own personal space and see what happens.

OK thanks! They protect that whole side of the tank now and don't allow any other fish close by
