Usually raising fish for me is a little work but I am missing have discus fry in my fish room .
The pair did all the hard work ..Having the discus fry I did was a joy and pleasure to witness..I miss seeing it happen but take solace in watching yours .
2 months is when you know you and your fish did something special IMO .They grow fast and that is just so rewarding in my book .
I guess my pair realized it and are just relaxing now and eating eggs ?
I feel my others are maturing and soon they will be teasing me .

Thanks Tom. Just take the photos and show them to your pair. Tell them, get busy!
Serious note, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It’s been a joy and a love. When you love something the “little work” becomes no burden at all.

Lost one of the largest fry. Jumped out the tank
Found him a few hours later. Rest are eating, growing, and doing well.
Now I make sure I restore the lid position after feeding.

That's too bad Frank and such a shame, but it happens...sometimes they find themselves through the smallest of gaps. Pitty it wasn't the one with the damaged gill plate though.

They're looking really good, and growing nicely.

Bummer Frank, sorry to hear about the jumper. Otherwise everyone looks fabulous in the fry tank!

If it were me I look for the even and straight bars. I don''t think it matters to most people but that is just one of my requirements. All if your fish are magnificent, Frankie boy.

Thanks Joe. It’s never the one “you want to jump out of the tank.”

It's a strange thing but I have a thing about bars as well. A lot of folks don't even notice broken bars.

Hey Frank, they look great . Are you seeing any color forming in the eyes?

I like the straight bars also. However, I would not cull the non-straight ones.
