Hi,

I have been keeping discus for about 10 years in a community tank with other discus. Two have paired off and are continously laying eggs but then the eggs are getting eaten after two to three days. Who is doing the eating? Well, I am not quite sure.

So, I am going to separate them and give them their own breeding tank. What type of filtration should I use? I have Eheim canister filters looking after my community tank. But I assume that canister filters are not suitable.

Any advice please?

Thanks Atti

you can use an eheim just make sure the intake is covered with white wool and retard the flowrate with the taps once you have fry have had fry in a 2x1x1.5L with a 2213, restricted by closing the input tap about 33%.

Thanks,

I have a spare 2213, doing nothing at the moment. I'll try your suggestion.
