    NICE ! must be exciting to get them feeding and weaned off Mom and Dad, how long until you move them to a tank of their own?

    Hi Gary

    I have no hard and fast rule as far as separating them goes, but its usually around 4 to 5 weeks. Or of course if I see the parents taking strain from the youngsters feeding off them. With the volume of fry in this spawn though, I will need to keep a close eye on things.

    I was just down in CT this last weekend and got to see these little guys and wow it looks so cool to see so many fry around a pair of discus. Well done Andrew. Your other discus are also if not even more incredible @pHish_man Thanks for the tour of you fish rooms.

    @pHish_man,
    Perhaps you could give those of us who can't visit a virtual tour?
