Really wasn't expecting anything out of pairing going on but...

Is it possible to raise wigglers in a community tank?

I've not raised fry in a community tank but my logic says if they can raise them in the wide-ranging Amazon River the community tank would be somewhat easier.

Nice tank and nice hatchlings.

It's a nice challenge and I wd love to see it through.

In my experience, the bullies will always be the bullies,
with all the effort you put things will get "a bit" better
for a while, then it will return.
Or you can separate them, buff the weak ones up...
until they become the bullies themselves lol
There are harsh words those can use for such behavior
but I think it's just how it is... It's their nature.

For raising wigglers in community tank, I think it would be a challenge
but if you aren't into breeding rabbit hole, I'd say why not?
Worst case = more nutrient for other discus.

Please keep updating

Looks like everything is going well so far, they are growing a bit.
I'm a little worried they haven't made the jump to the parents for food

Hard to get pictures, mom moves to get in between the fry when I get close.

How many days have they been wrigglers?

Not really sure, probably 4?

Well never mind, they are swimming around the driftwood trying to tame the herd.

They were not happy with me trying to vacuum during the water change, had to give up...

[fljones3]

Did you try from the opposite end of the tank?

Water change was fine, just not vacuuming in that corner.
They were doing their best piranha impressions on the siphon they could.

Both fish are from Golden state discus

The Mother is a Golden Diamond
The Father is an Indiana Tiger

I'm very curious on what the fry will turn out like.



Also over in the other corner...
