Hi
I had a group of discus fry at the beginning of last week which were not attaching to the adults. I purchased an air filter but could see that many were not surviving.
Things also became less important when my wife went into labour last friday night. After a couple of days at the hospital i came home to inspect my fish. The adults had laid more eggs and there was only one fry from the previous group firmly attached to the adult. I dont know what it ate maybe the algae in the tank as i certanly was not focused on my fish.
Looks like the new fry will attach to the adults fingers crossed. I am a bit scared to turn any lights on as up to this stage they have not had light due to not being here. Just want the fry to attach to the adult. If i use a small table light is the idea to cast a shadow that the fry move to or are they attracted to the light?
Any way i have attached a photo of my new baby girl. Her name is Piper Rose.
Enjoy.
