sweet..like mentioned move the pair to a different tank and place it in an area where they won't get disturbed.
The fish are at it again!!!! The same pair - they never quite let go of the cone and right now there are eggs on it and the male is giving it a going over... I sectioned off the rest of the fish (well - there are only 2 other fish who i suspect are a pair - i moved all the other discus to another tank). hopefully something happens next time as the suspense is killing me... I didn't even kno the fish could go at it so quickly...
I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what happens next and/or what do I do... It's just for the sheer excitment of the process. thanks a lot

leave them alone and don't bother them much..keep feeding them tho...LOL
the parents will tend to the eggs..alll you pretty much do is let nature take its course.
with luck they may actually raise the fry..they don't always get it right the first time. so hang in there.
in about 3 days any fertile eggs will hatch and you wil have wigglers. they will remain like this for about 3-4 more days. then they will become freeswimmers..the freeswimmers will hang on the parents..they feed off the slime which has all the nutrition they need.
they wi do this for some time eventually learning to eat other foods.
all the reared discus I have seen hang pretty tight to the parents.
good luck
