A problem many wish they had but I have 2 tanks of fry from the last 4 wks and have another 200 eggs on the glass from the same pair.
What do you do?
I won't be able to sell what I have ( I don't think )

I'm not doing anything to encourage them with the water now.
PH 7.2
84 degrees

If youre up for shipping them, or for pickup only as well, if you state that in the ad, than you should check out: http://www.aquabid.com/ or you could put them up on our website here. Craigslist might also be an option.

If you don't want to bother with shipping hassles, you can post them for sale on your local craigslist for pickup only. I have gotten rid of fish that way in the past. By the way, I've had pairs that spawned 16 or 17 times before they stopped. :D You could also just spilt up the pair to prevent this. I've had to do this also.

What about raising the temperate a few more degrees? I've seen it recommended but I don't remember the post exactly. I guess in the Amazon the rivers flood and the discus move into the tree roots where it's a little cooler. Of course since many of our discus are domesticated this might not have an effect on them.
