Mine moved them at least once a day...at night they bedded em down on a suction cup once they went free swimming.

It's called an excellent parenting skill. Good thing you got moving on the bbs, I think you're going to be needing them. Do you have any idea how fortunate that would be? I bet I had about 2 dozen spawns from two pair before I ever got my first fry.

Just wait until you see them attaching to the parents, a most enduring sight Discus brood care is like no other.

Okay but what is the purpose of moving them?
I feel very lucky indeed. Also, excited and a little bit freaked out.

[Keith Perkins]

They're re-hiding them, lol. I've never had parents eat wrigglers that they've moved.

[Orange Crush]

I thought maybe people might like to see the parents.
Also a picture of the wrigglers I took a few minutes ago.

Looking good. Nice little batch for them to start out with too. Enough to definitely make it worth wild, but not so many to overwhelm them on their first go. Hoping to see attachment pictures soon.

Waiting.....impatiently.....for attatchment......it's been about 45 hours since the eggs 1st started hatching.......don't they know I have to leave at 8am for school and won't get done until 6pm tomorrow??????

Make sure you leave the lights on and give them the best possible change of seeing their dark parents and clinging to them. From my PM it sounds like you got the cheese clothe going to help cover the dark sponge, which is great. Best of luck my friend.... Like Kieth said though.... This is freaking ridiculous haha, Im SO happy and proud of you, however, I have worked my a$$ off to get pairs to spawn, especially starting out, and get this far along and behaving SO perfectly. Seriously Holly, what you have going on right now is not common by any means and is a huge blessing that they are so instinctively taking this every step of the way so far. I would give my left leg... and possibly some other body parts for all my pairs to be such great parents. Id also be rich.. lol

Now they have moved them onto the underside of the amazon sword leaves. They move these wrigglers like 7 times a day. There is good parenting and then there is OCD?

[DiscusDrew]

You never learned that they inherit traits from their owners? Yeah... I said it...
