Waiting for these to get down to making the next generation is killing me.

...how old are they, Liz?
Over a year. All I do is feed, change water and twiddle my thumbs while I wait for them.

...couple dither fish?....put a bit of excitement in there ?
I've never heard of that working with Discus, Jon. I think they'd move so fast that they're pick off all the eggs the moment they were laid.
There's another trick I've heard of, though. You go for a long time before you change water, then do a very large cold water change. It's has been used with success on wilds. Supposedly, it simulates the dry season followed by the rainy season in the Amazon. It's hard for me not to change water every day, though.

I've heard of folks using a tray of ice cubes getting cories to go......just dump them in.....
It's worth a try, thanks.
...any action at all ?
Alas, no. All I can do is wait, wait wait, feed, feed feed, and change lots and lots of water every day.
Well?..... huh
Didn't help. Still waiting for the fish to do something.
..anything yet?
...... huh
Nothing. It's the most frustrating thing. I My juvies are growing like crazy and all the fish seem to be in perfect health. I just don't get it.
I may put them into the 100 gallon I planted. It's good and clean now. To me it's a beautiful tank. I'm afraid that with all the plants the Discus will feel cramped. There's only 1 way to find out,
