I have 3 "pair" of discus. 2 Blue Diamond that the "male" eats the eggs as soon as they come out and a Pigeon Blood pair that usually eat the eggs after about 12 hours or so. I found "gutter guard" and made cone covers for all three. The Pigeon Bloods spawned like clockwork in 7 days. I placed the mesh over the eggs and figured at least this way I'll know if they are a real pair or a couple of females. I'll be darned if I didn't just take a look and all the eggs are gone. I guess they hit the mesh hard enough that they were able to eat the eggs.

Really frustrated at this point.

If you don't have any pleco's then it is time to re-engineer your screen. Do you have a photo of it?
