Goldfish Girl Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 so, questions for someone who's new at this. how long do the eggs take to hatch? do they eat the parents slime or do they need something else too? will the parents ever turn on the fry and eat them? anything special besides daily water changes? should i add something to make sure the eggs don't fungus or will they take care of that themselves? also, if i move the parents, will they get so stressed out they eat the eggs? any general tips? dusting off the "breeding discus" book i never thought i'd need. oh this is so exciting. this is why i keep fish.

Goldfish Girl Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 thanks val i will post some pictures when i have time tomorrow/when i figure out how to do it. only about 20 or so eggs. i just moved them to another tank so i think they will probably stop laying for this time. they don't look impressed with me. the eggs still look good though. i hope the parents don't eat them or that they don't get fungus. this will be the best coming home present for the person who owns the discus.
