Now what do I do???

[Finatic]

Well, I went to do a water change and look what I found...

Here is the bummer, I have no clue what do do, and I was actually considering selling everyone since I have been so busy with work lateley traveling. I have still been able to do the intensive water changes, but to say life has been busy lately is an understatement. I am filled with joy and dread at the same time right now.

I put a tank divider in to keep the others away. These are the fish I bought from Mike at Central Ohio Discus last december. they were only 2 inches when i got them, and this pair is the biggest of the lot at about 5 inches now.

HELP!!!


P.S. sorry about the crappy pics...I had to use my iphone since the battery in the camera was dead...darn kids...LOL.

Why don't you see if the eggs hatch and you get some fry first? Most likely it will take the parents (if they are male and female - I've had lesbian females lay eggs with each other before) a few tries to successfully spawn anyway. In the meantime, just go out and get a 20 gallon tank IF you want to breed them. Or you can sell the pair as a proven pair (more $$$).

Well,

I think I caused some trouble...I went back to check on them after I posted the pics, and they ate the eggs. I must have caused too much disturbance with putting in the divider.

They still are showing a united front against the rest of the pack, but we will see what happens. They are beautiful fish, and I would love to see some offspring, but who knows, but again, I just dont know if I have the time, blah. Life is crazy sometimes.

Thanks for the input Wahter!
