Hello Everyone,
I have a question about some strange behavior. A little back ground as follows:
180 Gallons
16 Discus
planted + Driftwood
Ph 6.5
Temp 85
Set up for about 1 1/2 yrs.
I have never had any of them spawn or really noticed any pairing off until just this last couple of months. Here is what happened. 1 set of eggs dropped but later got eaten, same pair tried again but eggs got eaten again. Than a couple of weeks later one of them paired up with a different partner ? eggs where okay for about 2 days then got eaten, now the same one went back to the other one got eggs this morning still doing okay I'm really not counting on getting any babies I'm just wondering why it appears I have a 3 some, is partner switching normal or could the 3 of them be females? Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.
