Ok here goes my first attempt at breeding discus! I will follow them in this thread and link it to my journal.
The pair are now finally getting ready to lay eggs in the separate breeding tank. Currently both cleaning the cone and doing their dance.
Of course, they had to pick the worst timing - I will be away on a dogshow trip to Estonia and Latvia over the next weekend and the fish will be on their own from thursday evening to monday morning. If the spawn is successful they will have just started swimming freely when I have to leave.
What should I do, just leave them be and let the parents do their job until I come back and hope they're still there? Should I leave the light on around the clock? no feeding at all while I'm gone? Is it too late to start the bbrine shrimp hachery after I come back?
