gizmo42au Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Do you find they eat the eggs after high traffic past the tank? They may be frightened into doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novafishy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Cal, angels will learn not to eat the eggs after a few spawns. It takes them some time to get it right. Any discus / angel breeder will agree. Give them time and try to lower your ph to 6.8. they prefer acidic soft water. But they are breeding in a ph slightly above than 7, so maybe dont touch it. Keep them well fed and fat. they should spawn again in a week or two. have you got a vertical slate or something for them to spawn on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
