So, I have experience in breeding red bellied piranhas, but I know that breeding discus is a completely different story. But I'm thinking that in caring for the fry, for the first couple of weeks that is what the parents, the pair, do; correct? With reds I take the eggs out and put them into my automatic water changing hatch/fry setup consisting of a ro/di run to waste setup. My question is, what do I have to do to successfully raise discus fry? I hatch baby brine shrimp and also culture microworms and also have decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. What kind of a water change schedule would I need for a 40 gallon tank for fry with a lustar hydro 5 sponge filter? Also, I know that young fry need lots of feedings, but what is a good number of feedings per day for discus fry? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
