Parents eat fry

[Ammar hamid]

Dear all .
Kindly need your support. For my discus they eat their fry for the fifth time.

It is not unusual, especially with younger parents. Are the fry free swimming when they eat them, or still attached to a surface in the tank?

So you are selling the pair

All my female always eat the fry so I moved it before they go free swimming. All my fry are raised by the male alone without issue and I removed it after 3 weeks

My discus parents, also eat all the fry which just started to free swimming. This morning all gone, didn't know whether was male or female ate them.. 😤😭

Sometimes a tank next to the breeder tank with other discus in it will make the parents more protective.
I was also told that a mirror can do the same thing.
