    Well start of day 4 and it looks like they got moved to the bottom corner but at this stage this is the most that have ever lived to this point. I guess time will tell with these guys and if the black walls are going to be an issue. I wish we were not locked down for corona because I would just go to Joanns and get some white art non toxic paint and change it white. If the fry don’t hatch after this attempt I will do that... I guess I should also take the parents out and flip the tank and do the bottom, ugh the work... but their worth it.

    Looks like a good batch, they should be almost free swimming by now.
    You can place a black slate where
    they last spawn

    You might turn off the sponge for 5 minutes sometimes this will force the
    fry back on to the parents.

    Thank you Cliff, I will give this a try! When I went to go look at the tank after reading your advice I just sat there and watched... and... watched, it really looked like they enjoyed the back of the tank and why wouldn’t they as all 3 sides are painted black. Now with the heater up front and the filter it does seem like more babies are on the parents and it gives the parents the full length of the back of the tank to swim across. I will see how it goes, and again thanks for the advice!

    I will let some time lapse now for updates as time is really what I’m waiting for now. Here is a video I just took and I am very happy

    It’s time for a little update. These babies are looking good and you can see clear definition. They are interested in baby brine so hopefully they will take to my Discus DIY food. Everything is going smooth and I cannot wait to get these guys out in the grow tank. I will include a picture of the grow tank and also one of my Show tank... the show tank needs cleaning and I will be getting to that.

    Should I be concerned of some fighting? This video was the aftermath but the violently went at it for 15 seconds scattering babies and it looked like mom was upset and looking to eat a baby swimming close. Things have settled and there back to taking care of babies. At what point would I remove one parent? The fry haven’t eaten anything but the parents at this stage so I hope the dad could handle the rest. Like anything I will give it time but if I were listening to what my discus are saying the energy is building up.

    I had to separate my pair for their first spawn ..
    Many here suggest a eggcrate divider so the fry can go back and fourth .

    I bought the egg crate and I have been watching very closely, it really seems like they had a squabble and there okay now. In fact it seems like they are doing more 100% shared babysitting instead of both of them at once. I think they were talking it out.
