Hi
My discus pair have decided to spawn in the community tank ( 3 discus, 17 tetras, 2 brissle nose and 2 clown lauches ). To be honest I didn't have my hopes up too high as they have done it a couple of times before and the eggs always turned white. But to my huge surprise the eggs have actually hatched this time!!! Now I'm walking arond that tank wondering what can I do to make it better for them. I usually do water changes every week, which was due yesterday. I haven't done it, because I didn't want to disturb my young parent too much :) Now I am wondering whether I should do it or wait a bit longer. I have a bit of reading of Nitrates ( 10 ) Also, can I use anything like Toxivec to get rid of those Nitrates or is it going to harm the fry?
I'm trying not to get too excited, but that's getting really hard :)
