This is my second week of my discus laying eggs in a community tank, now I have a 20gallon BB (cycled) and ready for their own space.
I bought the pair from a buyer stating they were confirmed, but they kept eating the eggs so I can't tell If they are or not.

I'm wondering, how long should I wait until I move them over to the 20?

Oscar, I'm confused b/c you say they're in a community but thinking of moving them to their own tank but from the pics they look like they're already in their own tank but not a 20... or is that a 20L? when in the community, do they eat their own eggs? otherwise, I know you know just as much (probably more) than I do but I guess it just helps sometimes for an outsider perspective; if they're eating their eggs in the community then they're going to eat them in their own tank. hopefully it's only one of them... that way you can remove/divide the culprit. the only thing that blows about that is you have to sit there and watch... and watch... and, yep, watch some more until you figure out which one is the cookie monster.

Lol! The pics don't show anything haha, well I have 2 rams and 2 albino bn plecos..

My reason for moving them out was to have easier water changes and if the fry do hatch (crossing fingers) they won't get lost in my 60 g
