Congrats

Don't forget about a little hiding spot for the wigglers and keep their environment clean.
Daily cleaning using a small painterbrush works great for me.

heres an update of my frys recent development. I can't believe how fast they are growing!
When the fry are feeding and free swimming I have got two options, either putting them in a small tank with just a sponge filter which I use for breeding discus or in a three foot tank with three sub-adult zebras, I favour the first option myself as I think they will get lost in the big tank, what are your opinions

hey sam how are your fry doing? any updates?

Fry all doing well about 20mm long now. They are sill in the breeder at the moment. I'm undecided wether to put them in a small tank with a sponge filter to grow them on, didnt want to put them in with my adults as I wouldnt be able to feed bloodworm to them. Adult zebs now in their own tank away from the discus hopefully once they have settled down the might spawn again. Pics to follow

how old we're they when you removed them from the cave?

Hi the fry were seven days old when i removed them from the cave, but I only done this because they were in with my discus.
Given the choice I would have left them with their father.
Have yours layed again yet
