I had a pair of discus lay eggs in my community tank on 3 occasions. So I decided to give them their own tank to breed in. They are yet to lay in this tank and I was wondering how long it would take them to lay a new lot of eggs?

If you just moved them into a new tank it will take a while for them to lay eggs, as they need to adapt with the new tank 1st.

It may take a week or two. But once they're comfortable with the new home, they will spawn for sure.

Good luck

Hi Mate,
give them time.....as they have just moved house!

keep up a varied diet, and lots of water changes and they should spawn within a few weeks!
if not let us know...

Keep the ph between 6 and 6.8.

keep us posted,
Ben

They've laid eggs!! Thanks to you who replied I guess I just needed reassurance. Now all I need is for them to hatch and be raised.

They've eaten the eggs, relaid and then ate those as well. The good news is the eggs have been fertilised so at least I have a confirmed pair.
