Question:  What is the viability of discus eggs post ovulation?

Hi guys,

When discus eggs are being laid how quickly does the male discus have to cover them to make sure they are fertilized,  I have a couple of discus pairs that go about it in different ways.  One pair basically both do runs, one after the other, the other pair-the female lays quite a number of eggs then the male seems to then take interest and does his thing.  Both have had batches of equal fertilization rates 50% fertilized 50% unfertilized.   I would assume the quicker the better,  but could anyone give a timescale when it is just too long a wait.

thanks James (Big Tam)
