    Artificially raising discus Fry

    Thought I would post a video of the set up I made to artificially raise my discus fry. It's a mix of different ideas from other people raising discus. Its a stand alone system but I think I would work better connected to the main sump.
    Excuse the caning rings they don't belong there.

    That's pretty cool Brian. They look pretty young. Were you not able to parent raise?

      Hi Pat, The eggs were laid on a bit PVC and transferred to that system where they were hatched and raised till eating live bbs.
      MY thought process was 1: If I removed the eggs from the parents then they would get right back to laying a new batch.
      which they did and I let the parents raise the second bach by themselves.
      2: If I hatched eggs and raised the the fry from the parents in a stand alone separate system, It would give me totally clean fish .So no parasites gill flukes ect, I'm growing out some of them to be future breeding stock.
      Thanks
