    Moving Wrigglers

    Not sure if im dreaming but, can discus parents move wrigglers.
    I my tank the new wrigglers, were on a funny curved spot on a bit of drift wood, a fair few of the wrigglers became free swimming but there was still plenty of wrigglers still attached to the driftwood.
    I left my tank light on the tank all night to see what would happen and the fry lasted all night, but they were in a different spot with closer inspection some of the babys are still in there sacks wriggling.
    Obviously they have been moved

    Oh yes Chris, parents often move the wrigglers to different spots. They do however, usually keep them all together in the one place.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    One of pair also moved the wriggler.
    They sort of "eat it" and spit it back out.

    Ive seen them spit them back out again into the rest of the group or to the side of the other parent, but my pair must of carried the wrigglers still in the sacks not free swimming and relocated them.
    Quite amazing.
