My Breeding Pair of Discus

[jimmyg]

These are a good breeding pair I have had 3 lots of babies in no time, will take some pics of the babies as well.

They also have week old babies on them.

Well after taking this photo yesterday they have babies that are just over 1 week old and she has layed again, a huge lay this time,

What should I do with the babies that are all over the parents remove them or just leave them.

Thanks

Jimmy,

You have a nice looking Cobalt there, but to be honest, the combination of the Cobalt and a peppered Pigeon Blood is not good at all.

Most, if not all the babies will turn out to be PB based fish that will have a very heavy peppering on them. Ok, so you know they are a male & female, and it is good experience for you to raise a few fry, but for your own benefit, try to find another good Cobalt to match the other.

Good luck
