Hi.
My discus babies have been free swimming for about 5 days now.
Can anyone advise as to what they do and when?
Eg.
When to start feeding other foods?
When do you remove the parents?

I realise that these things might not happen straight away.

Thanks.

I would start feed them newly hatched brine shrimp. Be sure to keep the bottom clean and siphon off all the dead/uneaten shrimp.

At 14-16 days they will begin to accept other foods like live black worms, beefheart, ONF1, crushed flake ect..

After they readily accept these foods they can be removed from the parents.
