Well this week I was planning on finding a good home for my discus, and what do they do

They have been in the dark for the last month or so, and 1 water change every 2 weeks :-? so dont know why they are got in "the mood"...What are the discus meant to be doing now? it looks like they are eating the eggs?

Still looking for a home for one Discus, I'll do a post in the trade section so I don't get in trouble.

Well at least you will be able to sell them as a breeding pair!

:lol:

Worth alot more if your Selling them as a Breeding Pair :bounce:

Its a threesome at the moment...a breeding trio.

are they meant to be eating the eggs? they aren't very good at breeding.

I work out why they decided to spawn but its embarrassing, so lets just say I have been trying to do this my whole life :oops:

Sometimes it takes a few Egg Lays before they get the gist of what they are meant to be doing with the Eggs.

Is this their first Lay??

Could be 3 females?

Cant really sell as a breedig pair if no babies have ever been hatched.

Congrats anyway, a definate female :-)

oh lesbians you think. Good point maybe there isn't a male. Two of them were paired at least i think they were, they hung out and cleaned together and chased away the other fish...but now the third wheel has come in, its like Jerry Springer in there.

Yes its their first time. Then again if they eat them all the time I wouldn't know...

Ok I think I can see the funny side of this now. The water level in the tank got so low this morning that heater auto shut off, so the water temp dropped to 24, and the fish spawned :oops: :oops: :oops: ...getting them to spawn looked so hard when I looked it up online

There could be a male in that trio. Watch the behaviour and see if one lays, and the other 'swims' over the eggs...

Even if they are eating the eggs this time, they could get the hang of it next time! Being patient pays off

Jerry Springer...ahahahaa

one lays, and the other two swim over the eggs...I should say swam cause they are all gone.

Supagreen where abouts are you located.

Can you adjust your profile to show this

It measn that when you have fish for sale people can see where you are especialy if some one :roll: was interested in buying say oh your discus for example :roll:

Congrats on the eggs. Now you will have to keep them so you work out who the parents will be 8) . The 2 will chase the other away just keep watching. Some eat eggs many times to get it right. Good luck. Nice looking discus too.

I might, sell two of them, and keep the two I think are a pair.

How long will it take before she will want to lay again?

5-10 days

5-10 days

Cheers Ron.

Can they be trained to clean the rest of the tank, and not just where they want to lay?

Just talk to them nicely :lol:

haha

gl with them. certainly worth a wee wait to see if you have a viable pair and then sell..

^^^dude what's with the avatar?^^^

What am I meant to do to make them spawn? just a cold water change? how cold?

Wait patiently and they Will spawn for you

I definitely wouldn't recommend a Cold Water Change

i'm sure they only spawned last time cause the heater turned off...should I say colder water change

A water change with a drop of 2-3° can bring about spawning.

But first just give them good clean water,daily changes and they will spawn for you

on a weekly basis.

Ron, if by some act of god, they mange to pull this off, will you take the fry? :lol:

Yes i will :bounce: :bounce:

I separated the 3rd wheel from the pair, and was going to do a water change tomorrow, but they started spawning again without it.

so far they haven't started eating the egg, so fingers crossed.

got a pic of the pair? Which one is spawning?

Awesome Stuff :bounce:

Good Luck
