2006 discus fish breeding part 1 Video
This pair of discuss has 3 attempts with all eggs eaten up, 1 times with few fry coming out but still eaten up at the end.
this video is their 5th attempt.
some things that I think it may help:
- young pairs are less experienced, sometimes looks like they are not in harmony after laying eggs or frightened, then they eat up all eggs, if your pair only has 1 or 2 attempts, you can looking forward to their next attempt.
- water change. I keep a 80% water change everyday when they are in a small 2 feet tank. (water is coming from the top-roof water reserve, which is kept for sometime, and singapore tap water is quite soft). but after they lay eggs, i keep 20% water change everyday.
- I put 7 disuss with a clearer fish in the small 2 feet tank, with only on-top filters, not decorations at all(during the time I just moved to my new flat) tank is small but really clean. after the 2 lay eggs, I only remove the sucker fish out and the rest discuss is still in, so the competition is still on in the tank. the pair is still the king. but I remove the rest after the fry came out. just to release the stress level of the pair.
- food: I feed them frozen blood worms, washed before feeding and some dry flaker food. they have enough food and looks healthy and strong.
- no extra lighting, I put the tank near my rear balcony, there is no direct sun light on the tank, so the fish enjoy the nature day-night cycle.
- a heater to keep the temp 28'C at night
- some luck ;)
My 40+ young discus only has 3 survive now.(1 big male, 2 females) and I am waiting for their 1 attempt...

Hey, I recommend joining a fish forum. They have people that tell you how to breed fish and things like that and you can ask questions. There are a lot, but I recommend AquariaCentral. (Google it) Another one is FishForums(.)net. I think AquariaCentral is better though.

There's no egg ...
There's no egg eating in the video. I assume you mean the young are eating the adult fish... Discus are one of the very few breeds of fish that do this. The young feed off the mucus (fish slime) that coats the fish. Uaru are known to do it too.

lol marbles will do chit they are discus the eggs stick. and they look after the young dumb ass. they are eating them cos they are stressed, disturbed,deformed, or the water is not bang on. my advise is to take em out and put em in a 1 or 2 gal gar or bowl and hatch them in str8 ro water with metherleen blue enogh so you can just see the eggs. also keep a constant temp and do not let it go up or down at all. also put an air stone in to keep em good put it near the eggs remove any white eggs
They're eating the ...
They're eating the eggs because they are cannibals, the male will always be apt to eat the females eggs. Its just what they do that is why its important to keep your fish happy and fed. But its nearly inevitable they will always eat the eggs. Sterile marbles at the bottom of a tank will prevent them from eating the eggs. This is because the male cannot reach them with there dirty cannibalistic lips.
