jacquie loves discus Enthusiast Posts: 207 Kudos: 306 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Mar-2004	Right my female has laid at least 20 eggs that I could see. He's sill eating them, so the plan is this..... set up my 32 gallon tank and put them in it with a bare bottom. I recon she lays every three weeks because it's about 3 weeks since last time. I'll put the tank in my bedroom and that way they will get quiet. What do you think?? Do you think he will still eat them???

So they were defending there ground is that a good sign anyway were putting them into 30-33gallon today so that will be okey do you think he will get it right in as the other tank maybe to crowded for them(him) to fertalize them? Thanks Darryle

bratyboy2 Big Fish Posts: 355 Kudos: 340 Votes: 1 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	okay what u r doing is good its probably when you go to veiw the spawning he gets spooked and eats them to be safe.also tryputting a towl or peice of cloth over the tankto screen out movemnent and so he wont get spooked. feed them well and if they dont spawn soon do a small water change to stimulate the rainy season. i dont think ull have to do that though good luck and best wishes! ~brad~
