Dont cross them to tight because they are in a comunity tank so the chances they will get eaten are very high!

still looks like there are a lot on the top of the heater ( their chosen place to hold them on)
So im told Over the next day or two is very difficult as they will be needing to get off the heater and attatch to the parent's.

still excited that i have a bonded pair!

so whats the longer term plans ROb, you gonna give these Discus there own tank to breed in or is that just not practical (or necessary)

Can you remind us of your water stats? Do you use RO?

i would like to try and get a brood from them

the water stats are not as you would expect!
Ph 5.5
Temp 27 C

where i may be wrong is i dosed the tank with salt and protazin as i had a discus and golden Ram showing what looked like white fungus. some fish were flicking off one leaf!
there for i have a TDS reading of 950

Im sure the protozin saved alot of eggs from fungussing and believe that the leaf is a terotory marker set down by the pair! they both take times flicking on it and then the other discus swim over and flick on it in turn! this leaf is bang in the middle of the tank !

i will know better next time around.
