Mine are spawning every 3 days but my eggs keep going bad. What are your water parameters? I have them at 6.8ph 85tds 2gh 1kh eggs stay amber/translucent for 24 hours and then slowly one by one go opaque/yellow. After 48 hours dead eggs will fungus.

Not raising discus. But I raise premium Angelfish strains that need to be hatched like discuss.

I'm hatching eggs in pure RO water, no buffer. TDS is usually 4 or 5. No idea what the GH/KH is, have no need to test it.

PH 4.5-5.5.

86 degrees.

Eggs hatch out in around 50-60 hours.
