Looks like my Dansel's have spawned. Has anyone ever taken the eggs or fry and put them in a refugium for grow out? I have raised discus before, and don't want to hand feed a bunch of fry like discus require. Maybe they could find the necessary slime, rotifers, bugs, etc in a refugium, and also be in good water conditions.

Now if only my refugium was set up!

I don't think that there is much of a chance of any of them surviving in a refugium, not enough food for them of the correct size. With marine fish they have a very small larval stage that can be quite difficult to feed. Much more difficult that feeding discus fry.
