We have WRIGGLERS!

It's a small spawn of 30-40 fry... and whats funny now is that another pair of discus spawned in my 55g... sheesh.. what to do...
 
That is just so cool! Congrat's! Loved the video too:)
 
I too have a batch of free swimmers about the same age as yours. One thing you might want to do is to buy some decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. This is a good emergency food should one of your brine shrimp hatches go afoul. Has all the nutrition of freshly hatched brine shrimp.
 
Great on the eggs. Once they hatch and start to swim on their own; then it is really cool. I have 25 young discus babies about 1.5 months old doing well, and 15 other small discus 3 months old. So awesome. The less stress in the tank the better no other fish should be in the tank; personal opinion. If the water para's are excellent they will lay eggs over and over. Good luck!
 
UPDATES!!!
Hello everyone! been busy with work so was not able to post updates if my fry in a while. This their 3rd week free swimming. I'm feeding the parents tetra bits and Kens Beef heart flakes and FBW. For the fry they get BBS and I have an auto feeder running giving them Kens Premium Golden Pearls. I also give them shaved Beef heart when I get home. They are getting bigger and definitely starting to get the rounder. I change the water every 2 days and wipe down the tank. I have 3 fry who will not make it. They don't swim properly. I think they have swim bladder issues. They been that way for while. So sad. They might not make it through the day. But asides from that everyone is ok. And without further delay here are some pics.
