Great news Mauro !!!
Great News ...
can you provide some details on the Tinidazole treatment as well for the Swirling disease.
Thank you.
This forum has all the information you need I recommend using the advanced search tool, with the option of "search titles only". On the whirling disease, see:

On Tinidazole, see:

Well, I burned my tongue, as we say in Brazil. The spawn did not work. The few eggs that were turning dark were the only ones that actually became wigglers. From a big batch of eggs, only 8 or so actually hatched. From the four confirmed wild discus pairs I ever worked with, this one has proven to be by far the most difficult. They spawned few times, but always ate the eggs. So I started using a mesh over the cone. I got wigglers twice, but for some reason there was no attachment. And now this...
Well, I guess patience is crucial, as usual. I will keep trying. Any suggestions of what might be wrong?
Mauro, I would simply place the pair back in with the group. Give them a place to spawn and let nature take its course. I would not screen the eggs. Just allow the pair to defend the spawn and give them a chance to mature as a pair. All my wild pairs were into their third year before spawning and think your group in Brazil may have been older also.
Also look at your water. I have read that wild fish will eat their spawn if something is off (like water). I would simply check to see where your GH is. Should be around 70ppm or 4 degreeGH.
You could also allow the pair to practice and mature in the breeding tank. Again I would not screen the eggs but this is a personal choice I made with my fish.

Hi Maruo, check your GH. Your GH might be fine at your current TDS.
