I came in after playing basketball with my friend and noticed that my discus pair had spawned on my drift wood. Thought i would share some pics.

You should do it !!!! Discus are not as hard to keep as everyone says they are. Don't get me wrong they are not for the beginner but a seasoned aquariest should be able to keep them easily. If you do get some focus on soft water low pH and high temps. And just do 50% water changes twice a week .
Thanks for the comment.

I wonder if discus babies look like rather colorful Brachychalcinus orbicularis

Discus fry do not get their color until they are about an inch long. When they first become free swimming they look like fleas lol.

The pair now has about 50 wrigglers. i put a separator in the tank just in-case they get free swimming fry this time

No, the male is a beautiful red Marlboro and the female is a blue cobalt.
This is the pair.
