Hi
I have two pairs of discus that have now reached 2 years of age ,i am now ready for the new challenge of trying to breed them.
Only problem is they are all from the same family , i have been told by one breeder that breeding them will create deformed fish. Another person who has breed my third pair that i sold him tells me you can breed brother and sister . He breed some fish that are now 4 months of age and 70% of the fish look ok , is this a good thing to do? or will they get problems as they age ?
I now want to try and breed my fish to see if i can do it while i wait for my new fish (of different blood line ) to grow . They spawn weekly but eat the eggs on the third day , a lot of them have turned white by this stage but not all of them, some are still a light tan type colour. I have tried meth blue but this seems to have no effect on the eggs turning white, I also see some that look like they have gone clear.
Can some one please explain to me what all these eggs are doing .
