Discus Are Going To Lay Eggs Soon :)

[amy1994]

Don't know whether to try leaving the eggs or take them out
Last time they were all gone in one night
I would be surprised if they ate the eggs as they were protecting them all day
I think either the loaches or plecos ate them
But i've heard it is better to let them tend to the eggs
I think i would have to take them out when they hatch, as much as i would love to see the discus raise them, they would get eaten by the others

not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but remember you would have to take the parents too as the fry need the slime on them to feed if you just take the fry they will probably die

Oh, i thought you could as i've heard of this done before
If not i could just try and leave them in with them

yeah if you just take the eggs they will die without the discus milk the parents produce

I'd move the parents and eggs, they may get a bit stressed and not tend to them the first time but if they spawn again in their own tank you'll prob have better luck.

what you can do is leave them in the tank but seperate them from the other fish by outting up a glass divider in the tank, this way the fish wont be to stressed you only have to monitor one tank and when the fry are leaving the parents you slip the divide out

Don't think i'm going to be getting any eggs
The discus i thought was a boy is a girl... as SHE is laying eggs
And the other discus, i have been told is a girl by the breeder...
Ges i will just have to wait till the other discus are older

All in the middle of a water change.....

1 lays eggs, the other is helping protect them.....i think its a girl but still not too sure
