In one earlier post about Discus Fish, I said it is a symphysodon species and that one of the characteristics of such a species is its care for the larvae. Both parents care for their young. Adult discuses produce a secretion through their skin, which the larvae live off during their first few days. When bred in captivity, the larvae will tend to live off their parents secretion for up to 2 weeks. Here is a video showing the Discus Fish with their young. Enjoy.
