Hi guys, as most of you know, i love to keep discus.
Well, i was watching them the other day and they were clearly cleaning a new piece of wood that i had added to the tank. I watched them for about 2 hrs on and off (well i stared from the sofa!) and they layed a patch of eggs, about 50 ish.
I was pretty sure that i would get no fry since this is the pair's first attempt and they are in a community tank (discus and cardinals).
The next day the eggs were still there so i thought that was a good sign, when i got home they were sadly gone. My PH is 7.2 and GH is 14 so i know that the likely hood of them hatching is slim to nil anyway but it's nice to know i'm doing somthing right.
