Tony, they look excellent. Nice job.

Just a quick question what is your moan lighting, t5s?

Great question, i am glad you ask. I have very simply lighting, nothing fancy. The over head light is 4feet long 67K T12 bulk and the one that helps frys attach is 1 foot long LED using 12V output adaptor. you can purchase LED strip and adaptor at most of electronic store.
Let me know if that clears your question.
Nice thread to read. I congratulate you on your babies! Awesome Vids as well. Julia:)
Thanks, I myself can't decide on how much lighting is too much lighting. Have been fiddling around with a DIY LED light system for my 72 gal, and this does help out, what is the dimensions of the current tank?

It is 24 long by 14.5" height and top 19 / bottom 14" wide, like the one at Petsmart. You may need to run more strips.
Well I'll keep this option in mind, if my current DIY doesn't come through.

Week 5 update: another week gone by so quick, all i do feed and water change, feed and water change, what a life :)
it's coool to look at them eat and grow. that is a reward for working hard, just starre at them swiming around just like kids in the playground. This really relax and relieve stress.
here is my water change schedule and for those don't have fish room. I place a spare 20G tank right above the fry 25G tank and fill up water with prime a night before including airstone. first thing in the morning (of course after the coffee) i do 25-50% water change by using icemake water line, it's a little harder than air tube, let it drip into fry tank while feeding other fish tank and prepare breakfast/snakes for kids. After work, i do 50-75% (the remain of water in 20G tank) water change and wipe down at least once a week and fill up 20G tank right back w/ prime. End of the day before go to bed, i do another 20-50% water change and fill up 20G tank for next day. What a life :)
I hope i am not missing anything and will help someone in same situation.
here are videos, please enjoy!!!

This series of videos raises a wierd question for me.... I'm a new member of the board, watched a video or two of recently separated parents/offspring a week ago, same scenario, offspring in next tank... Both times it seemed the parents were up against the adjoining side, and many of the offspring were doing the same.... Do they know?... Or was it just coincidence? I'm not a woo-woo animals have feelings kind of person, but is this common? If so, it raises a question, perhaps separating the offspring by a tank or two.
I say this, I'm not a discus breeder, haven't a clue as to whether adults spend time at the sides of tanks, just curious if anyone's noticed it or if I happened to look at two videos of recently separated broods that happened to show similar traits. I do not that mean this as a flame, just curious.
By the way, beautiful fish, I hope the juvies turn out great.
I don't think they have feeling. The parents are doing that because i think they could tell new place and old place. Their brain could tell the direction just like salmon goes back upstream to lay eggs. They may recognize old place just like they recognize us when we enter the room or feeding. Let hear others think.
It's time to update. It's 6th week and lot of funs. I feed them and water change the same other weeks, nothing different. Most of them start showing 9 bars and some already bigger than quarter size, you might not tell from video because my front tank is slide in just like those tanks at petsmart. It's hard for me to get the right angle vs coin. I'm also eliminating and selecting 30 for contest.

Hey Tony,
Congratulations and good job! I am so glad you were able to get a batch to attach. Is this the first spawn under your care? They seem to grow pretty fast, nice and healthy. Too bad Bradley didn't try hard enough.
Did you hear back from Al? Anyway good luck on the contest
