deep trouble
« on: June 17, 2011, 09:32:47 AM »



These fish are a bit young I think and to make matters worse, right under this pair looks like a pair of rams are going to lay on a rock. All this in my community tank.

Any ideas as to what is the best size to allow this pair of Discus to breed as I intend to remove these eggs.

Must admit Gerr, I'd just let nature take it's course but keep a close eye on aggression issues.  My angels have tried time and again but the neons eat the fry once they become free swimming and start to wander.

Keyhole eggs got ate, by who I don't know.

Discus now have wigglers, doing a good job for their first attempt

Having a go on the back glass now, think I'll set up a tank for them on their own after this

It's a shame Gerry, but at least you've got a mating pair identified for when you want to separate them out.
