    Nice, you had many. I think the light bottom saved you the peppering as they say black bottom is a no. Damn you had them all. Any pairings?

    I had 12

    The pigeon paired up with one of the blue diamonds
    And 2 of the Turks also paired up

    Was a community tank and tbh had no intention of breeding. So nothing came of the eggs

    @MariaS

    I loved my Discus. Brought them up from 5cm youngsters. A lot of hard work

    But one day I came downstairs to see 2/3 of the tank water on my lounge floor. Filter pipe had come loose during the night. I had to quickly fill the tank, but with cold, non heated water.
    It triggered a flagellate outbreak in about half of them.
    Despite about 3 courses of metro it was persistent in some of them.
    I got fed up with it, so moved them on :(

    I was gutted.

    But at the same time, the lfs managed to track down my lungfish which I had been after for years.
    So the timing worked out quite well
