[DiscusWidow]

Isn't he fantastic.... Matt you can have the discus remember.. not the angels, the angels actually have babies... The stupid discus just eat their eggs...

[DiscusMad]

I have ended up with the problem of so many fry/eggs so few tanks left!

[scott bowler]

[Kingkat]

Congratulations mate.

[scott bowler]

thanks dave its cool well i wish it was discus but deb likes them hehe

[DiscusWidow]

Dont believe that the discus do anything except lay eggs and eat them, they are stupid fish!

[Kingkat]

When your discus have babies I bet you will be like a mother hen Deb.

[eykw]

Congratulations Scott!!! It's an amazing sight!!!
Just wondering what do you do once they start free swimming? do u take them out? and what do you feed them straight away? rotifer or baby brine shrimp?

[scott bowler]

i feed them baby brine shrimp and they are feeding on the glass alge things like that the parents are still trying to catch them and put them in one place .but the fry are all over the place hehe its funny to watch .

[DiscusWidow]

When your discus have babies I bet you will be like a mother hen Deb.

Will believe it when I see it, Scott keeps saying they are laying eggs... dont know why they just eat them, maybe it is a snack for them for when they get sick of beefheart...

[DiscusMad]

well done scott

I'm just saving up for a magnetic air pump at the moment to try another little project in the next month or so I will make a post about it when I start it 8-)

[eykw]

Thanks Scott :wink: does it take you a lot of work to look after the babies? would you put them into a smaller tank?
my angels have laid eggs too, and the fry will be free swimming soon. it took me so much work to bring them up. i ve only done it a few times. but it's worth every effort! :P

[scott bowler]
