    Default Discus stressing out with too much fry

    I am not sure what to do at this point currently i have a pair of discus with 100+ 3 days old free swimming fry with them.
    The fry seems to like to to latch on to the female instead of the male ;
    The female is constantly twitching and jetting around due the the bites from the fry and seems to be very stress out.

    I'd say that's pretty normal at this point. Keep up with your water changes. I think that helps keep them calmer, and if they are eating, continue feeding and cleaning.

    sometimes these jerky motions is a sign for the babies to come to that parent in times of danger .

    Yes, it could be a signal for the fry to go to
    parents or it could be that the parents don't
    want the kids on their back.
