    Default First real batch of wigglers...

    In at least 40 spawns, today is the second time my discus have produced wigglers. The last week they only had about 15 and today there are about 50+ and still hatching. The long wait is over

    Question: When should I start adding tap water for the fry. After they hatch or after they become free swimming?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    You can start after they hatch. Do very small amounts at a time - like 10% or less. Make sure the water flow is directed away from the fry and is gentle. Fry are delicate. Do several small water changes 6 or more hours apart. There is no hurry to bring up hardness. Make the transition easy on the fry.
