my Discus breed... What should I do now ???????

[acidjc]

Hello anyone... need your advise ugently

my office Discus breed over the weekend in a 3ft planted tank, with some other discus and some small fishes...

how? should I remove the parent now with the eggs or should I just leave it in the tank?

how long will it take for the baby discus to hatch? and when it is safe to remove the baby fish away from the big plant to a small tank? cos' I dun wan the baby fishes to b eaten up by other discus and fishes..

how???.... I am lost [] pls help

>>Leave the babies with the parents because the former need to feed on the slime coat of their parents. It will not be wise to transfer the babies at an early age; instead, it will be better if the other fishes can be taken out so that the safety of the frys will not undermined. Another (even better) alternative: use a divider to separate both parties.

Hi Acid,

My advise to you is to separate the pair into a 2ft bare bottom tank soon. It is very likely that they will breed again soon. Don't wait for the eggs to be laid again.

Cheers!
