My breeding pair was not doing anything in the breeder tank so I moved them to my display tank. There are two other female discus in the tank along with several tetras,loaches etc. Well about an hour after i put them in they started a spawning dance. Now 5 days later i have wrigglers. They are guarding them with the help of an amazon sword plant leaf. What should I do? Leave them and watch them get eaten or move the fry and the pair into the breeding tank? HMMMMM????

Breeding pair has been spawning for the last year or so with varying results. One or two times the eggs turned white and they ate the eggs. One time got to wrigglers and they ate them. Today I get home to free swimming fry that do not attach to parents. The female is forcing the male into one corner of the tank. I assume they will not survive.
