    Wow! After seeing those pics I was thinking that you should make a coffee table book of discus pictures.

    Hey moik thanks, none made it from this last batch. They didn't attach to the parents fully, a few were on and off. I think the parents are still working on it as well. They keep getting further and further each time though so i have high hopes. Waiting on the next batch of eggs at this point!

    Which reminds me I need to be ready to have some BBS or fry food ready this time around.

    That's a bummer to hear. Hopefully they'll figure it out next run.

    good luck,

    Thanks. The good thing is that this pair has no intentions of eating eggs or fry which is usually the case with many pairs. So I'm not worried. They just have to get the process down. Gotta remember this is all new for me too haha so it'll take a few tries. Eric groomed and taught this pair well haha.

    Yeah, just beware that everyone wants to have a batch of fry and have the pair do thier job perfectly,but when the fry come and things look good..It is time for the person to do all the work involved in raising a batch of fry up ..Keep in mind that I change water 2 daily and scrub the tank and feed them too,,,amongst all my other tanks too..In my mind it worth all the time and effort..I am happy you were lucky enough to get a pair wothiout raising smaller ones up like I have been doing for the last 2 years..I hope yours get it right this time,,always happy to see WB/WS fry..Best of luck with this next try..

    Thanks.

    Being still on active duty military orders, it keeps me away from the house a good bit, so I don't always get the chance to raise the fry past wiggler/attaching stages. So until I fully am off orders in July, I don't expect to get a viable batch off of them. Like clockwork they spawned again, eggs on the cone when I got home today. We'll see what happens.
