    Hi readers!

    Update time! One week later and fry are just fine. Growing a tad slower than the Snakeskin fry but growing none the less. Dad's doing ok, will need lots of alone time recuperating after this lot, but thats another day's problems. Will try post pics a little later.

    Congratulations! I still get excited when I get Betta fry. I can just imagine how it feels when one get to that stage of the fish hobby to breed Discus and that the blue Diamond one. Hope they'll give you many more.

    Hi

    @The Hitman - Sorry, all booked.

    @Zoom - Yes bud, this is what makes keeping fish exciting and fun. Its absolutely amazing to think that something as simple as a fish need to take care of its fry for them to survive. I dont think one can EVER tire of seeing discus fry with their parents. To me it seems like a small miracle every time it happens

    I must come and have a look.Pics just do not do justice to them as opposed to a live view.
    Promise I'll keep my hand in my pockets the whole time!

    Careful @Marco... @Slojo says he will keep his hands in his pockets... but I've seen him steal fish with his mouth when you not looking!
