I think it's great that the kids will be learning to be patient and to do things the right way rather than run out and buy a bunch of neat-looking fish like so many (adults included) do.    My only suggestion is to contact local local pet stores who carry fish, explain what you are doing and...

Yes, I know what they cost.  Germans Blues aren't nearly as expensive but I also have Electric Blues which sell here for $25 to $40, as well as other tropical fish.  Maybe the deal could be fish + cash...who knows?   I don't know if there are any discus breeders on here or maybe someone with...

Do you have a breeding tank set up for the GBRs?

I have German Blue Rams from ages 1 week to 9 months old but would like to explore raising Discus.   Would anyone like to trade?

I would do a few things if I were you.  First, I'd call the companies that make the water conditioners and ask them what they think is going on.  Maybe you could send them a water sample if they would accept one.   Then i'd probably call a local university or Extension Office and find a local...

You'll need to rinse the shrimp with fresh water through a fine mesh net to remove the salt water before feeding them to the fry.  The water required to hatch the shrimp is actually much more salty than the ocean.   You can easily make your own hatchery if you like.  Here are a few...

Eagles...these little guys:  

The pet stores here sell Electric Blues (when they have them) for $27, $29 or $40!  I breed and sell them for $12 (or $10 when I have a sale).   German Rams go for $8 to $15 at stores, I breed and sell them for $5 or $4 on sale).

Well, if you end up wanting German Blue or Electric Blue Rams, I'm you're gal!  Julii Cory Cats too...I sell wholesale to the public and pet stores alike.

Aah...the Land of Not Quite Right (South Korea) LOL!  What branch of the service?   10-gallons is pretty small, but how about:   2 MALE Cobra guppies 3 Harlequin Rasboras 2 Glolight Tetras 2 Neon Tetras   That's a little over-maxed but would make for a colorful tank.

LiveAquaria.com seems to have an interesting mix of fish.  I've never ordered fish from them but I do buy some supplies from their affiliate store.   If nothing else, you can look for fish that you like online and then search your local pet stores for that particular type of fish.

Looks like a female, fairly wild, about 4 months old.  Can you post a picture of your male?  It's always easier comparing two - especially if they are closely related.

For the first 2-3 days after they start moving around they won't need any food because they live off of their yolk sacks.  You don't need to feed them until they are FREE SWIMMING - not scooting around on the bottom, not flying through the water by way of the current, not hopping around...no...

What kind of fish are you looking to buy?

Congrats!   Unfortunately, the chances that the eggs or fry will survive with that many predators is pretty slim.  Are you looking to raise as many fry as possible or just try and help them if they hatch and then let nature take its course?
