[Second Hand Pat]

Romann, the eggs are not dark looking? Sounds like the male do not do his job.

[romann]

even I watch him go over the eggs each time the female do the round

[Second Hand Pat]

But is he fertile? or could he be a she?

[romann]

he is a he bcause they have free swimmer in my CT b4

[romann]

you mean 2 female can do all that act like a male guard the eggs fan ect.

[Second Hand Pat]

I have had two females laid together and eat the eggs the next day. Not sure about all the rest. So you have a proven male. Just seems from your description that the eggs were not fertile.

[romann]

Romann, time to learn..quick

[magewynd]

Not much else works. How close are you to one of our sponsors Angelfish USA in Florida. i would get a couple of his BBS kits.

[romann]

why they doing same dance like when want to spawn:angel:

[romann]

can some body tell me if it's normal when the parents guarding the wiggler they dont eat I try to feed them they dont come for the food.and she start to do the same spawn dance.HELP HELP

[Discus Origins]

It's very normal for pairs to go off food when guarding wigglers...relax, continue to maintain good quality and see what happens. Just put a little food in each day if parents don't eat siphon it out. Hardest part is coming up- attachment of fry. You get past that point you have 5-7 days to practice hatching BBS so they are ready to be fed to baby discus.

I have seen it both ways, some parents become absolute pigs and others won't eat for 2-3 weeks. I myself prefer to start feeding BBS in small amounts on day 4, and by day 7 they are completely on it.

Hey it seem I got less wigglers than yesterday Idontknow may they eat them,what to do?they supose to move them to another spot they dont.they just stay fan them and the number of wigglers get reduce,do I have to remove one of them I dont know whats wrong.:mad:

[mmorris]

How many wrigglers did you have? If there weren't many, the parents won't want to bother and will prefer to try again.
