Discus breeding

[netty-ray]

My discus have spawned in my main tank, will I be able to move the pair to their own tank after this batch of eggs? Thanks Ray.

Give it some time comrade, not everyone can answer your question and I’m sure you’d rather want an answer from someone who knows what they’re talking about instead of someone who doesn’t .

Yeah thanks m8.

Does anyone know how long it takes the eggs to hatch?

They should hatch around 48 hrs.

They should hatch around 48 hrs.

I suggest leaving the parents in the aquarium with the fry because Discus fry feed off of the parents slime coat along with other foods for the fry.

Not a pro when it comes to discus but what I do know is that discus are bonded pairs. You shouldn't have a problem moving the pair out of the main tank to have them spawn again later down the road. They may not spawn again for you right away but they should once settled in the new tank. If that's what you intend on doing of course.

Thanks everyone for all your help. Ray.
