Discus Spawning

[elmo666]

Hi all. Had a nice surprise a few weeks ago when I noticed wrigglers on a leaf in my community tank. Sadly eaten, which I expected to be honest. After seeing 3 more batches of eggs laid, all eate, I decided to give it a proper try, I have set up a 20 gallon spawning tank and had two lots of eggs on the cone, all fertile, but eaten on the second day. Now, do I let the pair keep on trying until they get it right, or have a go at raising the the fry myself and removing the parents? I'm new to breeding discus so would welcome any advice offered. Thanks.

you can aways put some gutter mash when thay have layed around the cone this will stop them picking at there eggs but still lets them care for them they will pick at aggs that ant fertile but can eat a fertile egg when doing that hope this info helps.
