Hi, I have two female RDG discus, one doesnt have a male but keep laying eggs.
The dead one are the best looking one paired with a male, it laid eggs for the very first time then stopped. The male RDG seems to lost interest in pairing and care more in guarding his air stone bubble/and block of food, the female stopped eating then one day i saw what look like white scales come off around the area of her body where she lay eggs (tube), the pattern spread larger a few days later i see fungus grew starting from the tube , the mass grew larger, by now my lovely fish look sick and staying in a corner three days later she dead :(, i couldnt threw her out and freeze her still-sad-
The unpair female still laying eggs and shaking her body regularly but three other males (look like) doesnt like her. Recently i also have another RDG pairing up laid egg just once, for almost one month now still not producing any more eggs, all of theses happenning in a 2.5m 600L (9 fish) tank in my bedroom, i am using combination of 50% RO/50%filter tape water, i have auto system change my water 30% daily to water my garden, i am quite fussy/monitoring (ph, kh, gh, ammonia, nitre, prospate, ppm 150) my water but somehow the fish still died.
Is red fish are weak? and prome to diease?, doesnt not have genetic drive for breeding?. I noted when i have turk they breed like pest.
I am also looking for local breed baby RDG/solid Red melon, please msg me if you have/will have in the future, Thanks.
