Discus lay eggs on broad leaved plants or flat stones and breeding cones. One or both parents fan and look after the eggs. The young hatch out and hang on mucoid threads. It is generally accepted that it is necessary to leave the brood with the parents,for once the yolk sac is absorbed the young feed off the mucous secretion from the bodies of the parents. It is possible to rear the fry on fine sifted newly hatched Brine Shrimps.Once this critical stage is over the young are quickly reared on usual foods.
