ThomasLC Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I have a 150 Gallon community tank with Rainbows, Angles, Tetras and of course Discus. I have a couple that decided to pair off and breed. They picked a branch on the centerpiece spider wood in the tank and laid eggs. However, as of yet, none have hatched. They are on their 4th of 5th batch. Question is, what should I do? I really did not plan on becoming a breeder of discus. It would require at least two more tanks, one for breeding and one to raise the fry in. But I worry about the parents constantly laying eggs and nothing ever coming of it for them. I want them happy but will being separated from the school and placed into a stark white small tank to breed be better? Also, more tank mates are planned soon. So there is that as well.

Struggle Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 If you’re not interested in raising discus I’d just let it be. They seem to be happy since they’re spawning. You could also see if your LFS would take one of the pair as a trade in if you wanted to split them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I agree with @Struggle. If you r not looking into breeding them...I would just let them do their thing....If some eggs did hatch natural selection will occur as nature intended. The fact that they are breeding shows you are taking excellent care of them!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
