Hi every one,
As discus are new for me, had them for 6 months now in a display tank, I woke up this morning and found some little translicide orang balls on a leaf of an anubias nana. I guess that can only be eggs. Im paniking right now, donno what to do.
I've bred African cichlides before that was easier because they were bucal incubators.
I'm thinking again and I suppose the eggs cannot be fertile because the discus' matutrity.
But just in case they are fertile or for next time what should I have done?
thanks for helping.

That's good news. I wouldn't worry too much. Let them go for while and see what happens. They might eat them or they might hatch, you never know. Just let them have a practice run I reckon. :wink:

At least you know they are happy in your tank and all the parameters are right for them to spawn. :D

Oh they do take turn to take care of the eggs.
Let's see in 3 days then. I hope they wont be eaten by the cardinals.
