Three weeks ago I bought nominal 3 inch Stendker Turquise Discus and 2weeks later a pair formed and spawned. Their actual size is only ~3-3/8 inch diameter. This is the smallest sized discus I have ever had breed for me. The follow photos document the last 24 hours beginning with a close up of the eggs at 48 hours then ending with the parents guarding the fry after they had transferred them to an Anubias barteri leaf.
1. 48 hour old eggs on petrified wood spawning site.
