It happens. The largest spawn that I ever raised was 453 or 452. it was a spawn of red turqs. The very next week I pulled a spawn of Marboros that was either 353 or 352.

John: Wow! I really envy you. You must be pro in discus breeding. Did they all grow up? Parents with 453 fries must be a magnificent sight.

Lauren: You are welcome. I like to search the web for discus pictures.

I counted them when I pulled them from the parents so they were already eating and growing on their own. I should have kept some of them but at the time I had some buyers that wanted all of the discus that they could buy at 3 weeks of age. I sold them in groups of 200+ Worked out great until they ran out of money.....LOL.

P.S. Here is a pic that is about 5 years old but there were 175 in this spawn. I very seldom take pics of spawns anymore.
