Also, keep an eye on the parents. Sometimes they'll eat the fry if they're stressed. Separate them if you notice any aggression.

Re: discus fry survival rate tips

Check your ammonia levels. Even slight spikes can wipe out fry. Also, make sure the sponge filter isn't too strong, they can't handle heavy flow.

can bubble corals handle high flow?

I've got a Bubble Coral in my 40-gallon tank and the flow seems too strong. The polyps aren't extending fully. Should I move it to a lower flow area or will it adapt?

Mine are at 82°F. 40 gallon, sponge filter, no plants. They're small, maybe 2 inches. Not growing fast. Feeding flakes once a day. Should I raise the temp?
