Discus Spawn!

[slunkyapple]

Great video! Love how protective the parents are, and the fry are very amusing to watch. =]

Some of the fins on the parents are starting to deteriorate. How old are they fry? When are you planning to remove the parents?

Very Nice!! How to see male and female Discus??

[mGoLos]

Thanks.

The male is larger and somewhat more colourful. In some types you'll see the upper fin of the male is slightly elongated and even pointed. Otherwise you can always observe the female during spawning because she'll have a 2mm long tube from which the eggs are extruded.

I've heard that sellers and others with serious experience can simply scoop a fish out of the tank and check. I am also told that this procedure is traumatic for the fish.

I breed fish too! Are Discus Livebearers?

[mGoLos]

No they're egg layers. The female deposits the eggs; the male fertilize them. It looks like they're dancing. It's beautiful. What do you breed?

[BallPythonlover]

It is beautiful! I breed mollies, (they're soo easy to breed) and betta's! I have a few vids on my personal betta.
