I've been posting my journey in a thread that was originally about something else so I've decided to collect it all here for the masses. @Deeda and @Auballagh have been great sounding boards so far.
It all started when a mated pair of Uaru Amphiacanthoides successfully had fry in my 220 community tank. This was extraordinary in of itself as the aquarium is stocked with Geophagus, Severums, Oscars, plecos, and many African Synodontis cats. I wanted them to survive so I did my research. That's when I discovered that I shouldn't remove them from the parents for at least the first two weeks as, like Discus, Uaru fry eat the slime coat off the parents in the beginning.
