1 day old discus fries

[trident]

barmby,
you are right there, some times the parents cannot tahan, some will die, and some never really recover from the ordeal, will remain sickly. Just have to pay attention to them, once you see they are not right, remove them and like you mention, feed with bbs.
A good routine is to start bbs when the fries are about 5 days old and remove the parents when the fries are about 7-8 days old.

Thanks

I see. Good that you share this information with the community.

Hi Richard,

Nice shots and that looks like a very good batch! Always nice to see baby discus!

Stan,
Thanks, I always enjoy watching the fries go for food, but they are a headache to look after. Daily water change and constant feeding. If they grow up nicely, than I am well rewarded.
