The other pair moved all the wiggles from the pleco cave to the sponge filter. Should I put in a cone to see if the move them there, what do you think Al or leave them the way they are?

Ok I removed the cone and tested the water and looks good. Now to leave them alone for the rest of the day until I return the sponge filters. Suggestions?

They are doing good as of this morning. I did a small WC last night and didn't put back the sponge filters until this morning due to small amount of ammonia present. I will do another small WC when I get home and remove the filters again incase some are still swimming around. For what I saw this morning 90% were around the parents and it was a nice amount. I still have them covered on 4 sides.

Watching fry attach to the parents can be nerve wracking. Al gave good advice to leave them to it. Sounds like things are going well Chuck

I have the other pair (Eruption and Panda) covered also but they still have the wiggles on the sponge filter.

Afternoon snapshot got to look closely because they blend in with his body.

"By God, he's done it"!!! (a paraphrase from My Fair Lady, which you don't know because you're not old).

I'm proud of you, Chuck.

I am almost there but it's looking good. My old boy is finally happy after losing his other girl a few months back. He never spawned in the 2 plus years I have him. He is a leftover from Hans Stendkers and she is one of Pampas Leopard .
Thanks for the encouragement.

I don't care what others think. I've seen fish that wouldn't accept another lady. The ladies, on the other hand are somewhat loose with their favors.

Looking good! May just be the other discus we’re to young to stay with it.

Did a small WC and cleaned up so I had a chance to take a frontal shot. My two ladie spawned with my three males but this one stuck. The fry seem to like him better.
