The Panda & Eruption Surprise

[Charlyc11]

Like you all have seen in my other thread "Courting The Leopard" two of my discus got together in my display tank and spawned on the pleco cave.

So I decided to pull them out into their own 29 gallon tank that by habit I was cycling incase of an emergency. I kept the eggs in RO with MB until they were developed.

The I let them take care of the eggs. When the became wiggles they disappeared, they had moved them to the sponge filter.

When it rains it pours! That’s great Chuck. 2 batches to work with! I don’t know much about discus genetics but any idea what a panda and eruption mix will produce?

No idea or the other pair Marlboro German Stendker and Malaysian Leopard.

I don't know if these will make it since they are attracted to the sponge filters and all gather on it. This morning I took out the filters so they stated to go to the parents again. Hopefully they will survive.

I wrap the sponge filter in cheese cloth. It’s white so the fry don’t go to it.

My wife and I are from different continents and our offspring turned out beautifully…hopefully yours will have the same good outcome

Beautiful Chuck If you want more focal depth set your F-Stop to F14 or so. It will reduce the light that the camera can detect however so that could be a minus unless you can add a light over the top of the tank (you can defuse the light with a paper-towel if needed).

Awesome Chuck. Great application of Pat’s previous suggestion with excellent results. All our focus drawn to the main subject of your shot, the parents and fry! Great coaching Pat!

I did some culling in this tank and these are from today.
