    These are domestic, about 11 mths old at 4 to 5 inches. This is their first spawn, that I am aware of.
    The temp is 84 degrees, no ro.

    Wilds are in my future but I still need to get some more experience with discus.

    I will be working on setting up 4 more 29 gallon tanks this week for my pairs.

    I have a 125 gallon for fry I just need to add water and of course I will need some fry.

    I have one empty tank reserve for some of Bill's golden if I can talk him out of 8 to 10.

    The fry have attached.

    I lowered the water level to about 4 inches in the tank. I took a strip of shaded plexi glass about 4 x 4 and set it outside of the tank in the corner that the parents hang out, I took the sponge filter out and I am doing a 50 percent water change a day and the fry have attached. I plan on putting the sponge filter back in tonight and filling the tank back up with clean water just before I leave for vacation.
