    Guess what? I have another batch in the oven. They became wigglers this morning. There sure aren't a ton of them, but that's fine with me. Mom is bad about cannibalizing her kids. I'm hoping that she got her head screwed up by now, but I'll for sure be keeping a close eye on her.

    Good news Liz. Mine are doing great. Daily water changes. 3 feedings. They are about double the size from just eyeing them.

    I'm glad to hear that, Frank.

    I'm afraid that mine that are in the oven won't be cooking for much longer. Most are missing this morning. Mom has a history of eating her kids, but I thought I'd give her one more chance. Next time it'll be dad only caring for them.

    Thanks everyone.
    Good discus begin with good breeders. Thanks to Liz for a great group of babies.
    Liz, sorry to hear about the cannabalization. Maybe next time.

    Who knows, Frank? It looks like I might be raising a spawn of 10. The smart thing to do is remove the wigglers and have the pair spawn again. But I'm going to let the pair raise them just to see if mom does better this time. I guess that 10 is better than none at all...

    Various views of the group I got from Liz. Daily 85% or so water changes. 3x per day feeding. 1 FDBW (Al's), 2 feedings of pellets. Growing nicely in my opinion. Guessing 3 inches +/- presently.

    Thanks for the pics, Frank. I know that these came from me, but I'm a very hard critic of my own stuff, and I pronounce them to be good fish.
