Macro photos of discus hatching
Hi all
Would like to share with everybody I can on a memorable moment in my hobby, I’m sure we all have seen many photos of spawns but what made this one special for me was the different angle that I was able to capture it and what made it even better…I was able to witness the actual hatching as the fry broke free from their eggs….totally awesome..
The pics below are from the same pair but at different spawns 7 days apart, the first time they swam away while I tried to take photos of them laying but had no choice while I was clicking away when the eggs were hatching and the second time they didn’t seem to mind while they were laying. I spent hours getting these shots, my camera only has auto focus which was frustrating but well worth the time.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.
The female laying
a close up, you can see the egg coming out.
The male fertilizing the eggs
And the best part
Close up of the babies after 24 hours

Re: Macro photos of discus hatching
Thank you, I’m still amazed on what I saw.
I tried to get a picture of the “string” on their heads that make them stick to things. Does anybody know the name or what it is called?
