Yeah they ate them all. And now I've got some algae bloom from hell going on! Good thing is they are friends with the red fish again. For now...

more eggs missing, no eyes yet. Think we can kiss this lot goodbye.

Well I just got home from work (on night shift, booooo), there's less tanned eggs now, but they aren't getting rid of the solid white eggs. They did eat the fungussed up ones though (finally). Anyway, I can't see any eyes yet, hoepfully tonight maybe the eggs will look more like little fishies are inside. Or they migth all be gone. Made the mistake of feeding ox heart a few days ago - they leave residual behind and it fungus's up like anything. The discus delight frozen blocks are much less messy, as are the blood worms.

Yeah I've seen others mention BBS on other forums. Yeah, I can't look after them to the extent that they would be sellable in the future, so might just see who survives - I was going to buy another one after night shifts end on Monday, but I guess not now!

Hi everyone, long time no see! I moved back to Cairns last year and had to give up my oscar, Buzz, you might remember him - he is doing well living at my friends house, splashing litres of water on air conditioning installers and her cat, hilarious! Anyway, I thought since the water was right up here and I had my new tank still (got a 75G curved corner glass tank after Buzz's tank stand broke), I would try my hand at discus. Anyway, I started off with one, got a 2nd one a week later and a 3rd one maybe 2 weeks after that. I've had them about 6 or 7 weeks. Now two of them have gone and laid eggs last night! This was not planned... The eggs appear to be turning tan coloured, so I'm guessing they are fertile, we'll see how they go in the mean time, but do I need to do anything special for now? I only have the one tank and had no intention of getting another one, but will the babies grow up in that tank ok? The male doesn't seem to be protecting them as much as he could, him and the female just stare at the eggs, but he's letting the 3rd discus get way too close I think. Here's a photo of the three: The white one is the mother and the blue one the father.

1.3MP 6x4 inch would be just nice. That would fit on most people's screens. You can always use Microsoft windows picture editor that comes with XP (I was pretty sure it comes with XP anyway) - you can use it to resize your current images. I always find 640x480 pixels is a nice size for a forum.

If I try this, am I going to get Dengue Fever?
