THEY SPAWNED

[Nathan]

well my BD an fineline SS spawned in my community tank, there are at least 200eggs ive never seen such a massive lot of eggs, anyway im not that interested in breeding them, but its still nice to know my tank is healthy an the sexes of both the discus.

im guessing by tomorrow morning the eggs will be gone but who knows!

anyway just wanted to let u guys know

[Ben]

[Nathan]

well msot of the eggs have been eaten, but im really surprised they lasted this long.

probably your best bet mate is put some mesh over the eggs to stop mum and dad munching them by accident

[Nathan]

it was there first spawn so not to worried by it.

[nicholas76]

48 hours is the usual hatch time IMO

[Nathan]

yea a lot of the eggs went white though (probly wearnt fertile) so i think the mum tried cleaning them off an may have gone a bit overboard, im not 100% sure as i didnt see the eggs get eaten, but i think there was a combination of other hungry discus an fish an the parents.

oh well, i was just happy they bred im not all that interested in breeding them because
A, dont have the room
B, dont really want to breed 2 very different strains
C, im concentrating on my breeding pair getting better then hopefully once theyve fully recovered i can look into the breeding side of things again
