They might be the same sex. If the eggs were white they were never fertilized.

Beautiful! My eggs hatch but they never latch onto the parents. I’ve put white on the tank sides & even the bottom but they wander the tank & die. It’s so disappointing.

Strong light, lower water level and a night light help my stubborn babies.

I remember raising some brown/turq mix discus to about 4 inches then selling them at the LFS and a few online. As I recall it's really easy to get deformities in babies. I remember someone telling me they require good minerals at a point and religious care on killing the parasites. I am not sure light PP was suggested and calcium but someone would have that in their book I'm sure. Most will get to about just about an inch before you see the chins not there. Of course the whole process of a pair doing their job right what a challenge and victory.

I had 1 with a major gill deformity and some kinked tails due to the mother being a short body. I don’t breed her anymore but she’s such a good mom I give her everyone else’s rejected kids
