:) :bounce: :bounce2:got two pairs out of 12 fishes, they laid the eggs, put mesh over the pipe to check fertility of male, should I take them out and put them in their breeding tank or let them remain in large tank with other and let them spawn them again one more time ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations shamsoo! :thumbsup:
I know just how excited you are. I'd let them practice another time or two while you are getting a nice 29 gallon bare tank set up for each pair.

hi, after 24 hrs few eggs are white in 420ms water, hope to get some wriglers, I want to know if parrents could protect their fry from other discus present in tank, if any one have similar experience pls adv thanks :)

[shamsoo]

update: 48 hrs, more than 50% eggs are white (may be due to hard water) I am seeing black dots in rest of the eggs, parrents are near the pipe getting darker, after 12 hrs I will have the wrig, very curios to know wether parrents could protect their fry from other discus present in tank

Hi Shamsoo,

Congratulations, you are getting there :thumbsup:
My pair breeds in 450ms water, almost all eggs were alright in last spawn (only 3 eggs unfertilized / white).

Regards,
Ronny

update 60 hrs: eggs of one pair all white/fungused, second pair have 6 wrig,now they need soft water for bettter hatch, what I learned and understand that breeding pair need constant water parameters, whatever the tds/gh/kh/ms/ph is, varying water chemsitry disturbs the pair and they stop breeding, small changes can be done to stumilate pair eg. temp, ph , pls correct me if I am wrong
thanks for yr tips/adv

[shamsoo]

they ate the 5 wrig while eating the fungused eggs :thumbsdown:

[Carol_Roberts]

don't be discouraged . . . at least you know you have a pair.
