Squirt Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I believe it is because they are infertile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 To get the eggs fertilised you must first be sure at least one of the fish is male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 To get the eggs fertilised you must first be sure at least one of the fish is male +1 you may have 2 females and still be getting eggs that aren't fertile. The temp should be 28C+ and pH should be around 6.5. Anyone agree? If the eggs aren't fertilized there is nothing you can do.

Zayne Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 white eggs are infertile, as above do you know if its a actual pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what you mean by the above. Discus like the temp between 28-30 degrees and a pH of around 6. You need to leave the pair (1 male and 1 female) in the tank together so one (female) lays the eggs and the other (male) fertilises them. If they are going white they are not being fertilised successfully, if at all. Often people buy a pair (two) fish but they are not a confirmed breeding pair (as in have raised live fry). Young fish who have not bred before can take several attempts before they are successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flosty Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 30 - 31 is way too high, generally they will go off spawning at that temp 27 - 28 is way better,I keep mine at 27 Possible causes are,2 females,Male to young,Male not interested,tds too high, not so much ph but a lower ph is definately more suitable Make sure your water conditions are tip top!

mike 65 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 have you watched female laying eggs, if so does male follow to fertilise eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
