Discus Fish Pair With Fry

This is a young discus pair with a very large spawn. The tiny
dark specks on the fish on the left are baby discus fry.   


The discus fry feed on an epidermal mucus secreted on the sides of
both parents. The discus fry grow very quickly, doubling in size in just
a few days.
It's amazing to see how fast the discus fry grow.

Usually the discus parents take turns with feeding the fry. The
discus parent with the fry will swim in a quick U-turn motion to
dump off the feeding fry on the other parent.
