Discus Question.

[Drew Bob]

Hi all,

First time posting so please be gentle with me !!

I have 5 discus in my tank and two of them seem to have paired up. They are always together, but one of them keeps laying eggs and they both care for them, keeping other away etc, BUT, then within 24 hours they start eating them !!! They have done this about 10 times over the last 6 months.

Whats going on ??

Please help.....Is this normal ? I've had Discus for about 2 years but this has never happened before !

Thanks.
