They have started already........triplets, quads, sextuplets......what do you call 400? Painful I think!

All eggs hatched

Woohoo! now to make it past the first week! *gets cheerleading squad going*

They have been wriggling so hard that a whole bunch of them knocked each other off the cone, and are now break dancing in the catch lip at the bottom! Looks like a school dance

They are already having sibling squabbles. How cute!

Everything would have been OK if it wasn't for them pesky kids! Huuuuuuun Shraggy!

Some how the parents managed to suck the fry from behind the wire last night, so I have given them a second cone so that they can pretend to move them around. Hopefully that will stop them trying to put the fry on the overflow pipe as they have before.

Good idea!
fingers crossed it works!

Fry went free swimming, and then were eaten buy the parents

After this coming week I am taking 2 weeks of work, so will look at every detail and spend 14 days just concentrating on sorting this out once and for all.

They laid last night again, but only about 50 eggs

. I am leaving the wire off, as I think it annoys them. Also with such a small batch of eggs I won't be to fussed if they eat them.

Maybe the wire off will let them learn something. My young have now outgrown my mouth. Haha. They are safe.

Did you not keep them in a cage?

Why the hack did they eat them!!! They get premium food every day... I don't get it. I think it is time to ask your discus friends out for a beer or 2....
