Spawning on the floor.

[chris]

I finally moved my Turq pair to there own tank, I did my best to match the same water parameters. They still need a little work.
Just before I moved them they were cleaning there usually log, the female was trying to lay, but no eggs were coming out, you know those trial runs they do, so I thought bugger this there getting out now.
They have been in there tank now 1 hour and they are spawning on the floor
Ill take some pictures soon, Quite amazing creatures these discus.

They spawned on the floor because i caged their eggs once from the breeding cone -_-

[chris]

Mine probably have never seen a breeding cone before so I hope they use it next time.
The male ate the eggs anyway.

[DR.V]

You should provide them with a breeding cone , so they dont lay the eggs somewhere else ^^
Good luck with next spawning

[chris]

Yer they have got one it was in the tank when they spawned on the ground. They probably wernt in the tank long enough to see it. They were spawning in less than an hour.

Don't worry Chris. They'll eventually get it right. :P

Maybe they just got excited "too early"
