Hello All,
Five months a go I bought a Red Turquoise pair, and as I never had a discus pair before, I lost seven spawns to get my first success.
Past 20 days I was thinking about moving babies to other tank, but I wasn't sure if the time was enough or not, to babies stay OK when I saw the male eye sick. It was absolutely white. Fastly I moved the fry and began the treatment.
After 15 days the eye was better and I resolved to prepare the tank to reproducion again, when I saw the female swimming like crazy, from one side to other side in the tank, without any motivation, as a worm disease.
Other 6 days, some white "bodies" in the feces and finaly the female was better again.
Two days a go I began preparing the tank to repreoduce again when I saw the female body and fins hurt.
Observing with attention I saw the male attacking the female very agressive.
I think it can be forcing the female to spwan, but I think the female is not prepared because it just receive the attacks and run away.
I'm confuse, I'm afraid the male hurt deadly the female because it is much bigger than the female.
Yesterday I put a glass wall in the tank and the male keep attacking the wall very angry. Sometimes the male "dance" to the female, and sometimes the female is "dancing" bashfully to the male, but never the female answer immediately to male dance. Maybe the female is not read to spawn, or other think.
What can I do?
I put stress guard, melafix and incresead the temperature to 31 degrees.
Maybe is better I move the female to other tank during two or three weeks. Should I move the female?
Please one help?
Thank you!
Alex
