    On a happy note, this is the pair's first viable spawn and they acting like pro's. The fry are starting to go free swimming at this moment
    Very cool Brian, hopefully all are attached this morning.

    Fingers crossed for the fry !
    Kind of new so pardon the intrusion Brian but I note in the second picture some poor lads feet ? They look like he is a little thin ?
    Then I note a couple pelvis and hands in closet ?? I hope you are not in trouble or hiding things ..
    I originally thought the closet looked to be waiting for a tank infill and then saw ,well I just wasn't sure ..
    They seemed clearer to see then the reflection game but still hard top figure ?

    Very observant... My secret is out! Actually, they are my helpers and they take care of my discus when I'm away. The don't take up much space and keep very quiet except for the Halloween season when they get a little playful

    Well, I guess we'll have to get ready for round 2. They got hungry and ate the fry

    I knew it was wishful thinking for them to be perfect the first time. I suspect the female so I'll have to remove her if it continues...

    Do you mean in the breeding tank? I feed the parents very minimally with granules and flakes. When they have a spawn they aren't too interested in food anyway. The fry got nothing because they didn't make it long enough to eat anything, but I usually supplement the fry with BBS about 5 days after free swimming..

    The camer keeps focusing in on the tank and not the fry, but here's the lone survivor of the "Mandarin Massacre"... I'm sure he'll be gone tomorrow, then we'll start again...
