��✨ Discus Fish Parenting Discus fish are known for their exceptional parenting skills! After laying their eggs on a flat surface, both parents take turns guarding and fanning the eggs to ensure proper oxygenation. Once the eggs hatch, the fry cling to their parents' bodies for protection and nourishment. The parents secrete a special mucus that the fry feed on, providing them with essential nutrients during their early development. This nurturing behavior is a beautiful example of parental care
