Royal Farlowella spawn, bet they end up a Discus snack when they hatch. Hope the Discus don't get indigestion. Here is papa guarding the spawn....DC

That's a rather good looking blue I see in there DC, too bad about the suckermouth fry though.

Beautiful fish and tank. I cannot bribe babies from my Pl*cos. Will you put the pair in their own tank to spawn again?

DC, there is an outside chance, the tank is heavily planted I think. So there will be some cover. Either way its nice when it happens.

DB- I had a similar spawning of parotocinclus in my tank and the fry disappeared, I think they became discus snacks. The first pic is a of a fry and the second pic is to show the size (that's a brown discus in the background). Those parotocinclus spawned for me about 2-3 times and none of the fry are alive today. :(

First spawn did not survive. New spawn is incubating......DC
