Hey everyone,
I have a pair of discus that have been spawning about every 2 weeks. So far none of the eggs have hatched. I'm not sure exactly what's happening to them. I thought my pleco was eating the eggs before they hatched but I dont know.
Anyway, i am considering setting up a 40 gal breeder tank I have, just for the pair. It will most liokely be a bare bottom set up, maybe with a couple sponge filters or something similar.
My questions are:
What are the ideal water parameters to ensure the eggs hatch?
Ph, Hardness, and temperature.
Also, I am going to put some potted plants, and a breeding cone in the tank.
I guess I am just looking for suggestions right now.
