feeding discus pair

[moses]

hello every body
I am a newbie in Discus (crazy)hoby.
as many newbie luck I have a pair of turquise about 6"
two year old .To day after a month of struggle there are about /maybe 200 babies on the parent body,about 50 each are still in the corner of the aquarium. I dont know if I shuld feed the parents right now or waite till the babies grow up
p.s.
the parents was fed on monia, white worm and beef heart.

Moses I would not feed them beefheart right now as it's too dirty if they don't eat it all. I wait at least 2 days before I feed, I want the new parents to settle down a bit before hand. Feed them the food that they like best so they will eat it all. Feed them a small portion and see if it's gone in 15 minutes, if not siphon it out.

Hey moses,
I will agree with discusgeo, feed them what they like. But don't NOT feed them, I have a pair of red turqus and it is better to feed them more than they eat and syphon out the rest than to starve them, unless ur stingy ;D Also if this batch doesn't work out don't be stressed, because they take it in steps, next time they will do better. Just leave it up to the parents. I used to get stressed, now I don't give a dam. I find they usually do better without me interupting them. Have fun with ur new hobby!

Thank you Goerge and Coetz.
I'll start to feed them small quantity of white worm.
By the way I can see still some babies down at the corner of the aquarium swimming around.
