Mine took a few days and we’re a little shy at first, now about 6 weeks later they are all over the tank and a female has already laid eggs twice. Can’t wait to see some pics

Photo taken 16 March 2023. 2.5 inch. They aren't showing much color yet (which is expected), but they all have good fins (not clamped), and are chasing each other and the angels a bit, but still hiding some.

They are hiding less, not staying clumped in a group, and are eating well.
Hans actually sent seven of the discus.
they aren't all clumped in a single group all the time, but they come together a few times during the day for comfort maybe? They are chasing and pushing on each other some which is a good sign.
I looked and had clear water columns but then they were full of detritus..... seem a bristlenose pleco was digging under the pleco cave where another male was resting...
And they are eating the flake food, FDBH, and hunting the bladder snails that are in the tank....came in on plants years ago.
I monitor the amount of snails to give me an idea of tank health....
