You'll need a whole load more tanks... to put it straight

How big is your tank? Could you not raise them till they are out of the fry stage and sell/give them to an LFS? Where are you from if your near me I know a guy who can buy them especially the discus

Yeah, they would probably buy them from you; the one sure-fire way to find out is to call them up and ask. Seriously, works every time Also there are various auction sites, forums, clubs where you can advertise them too.. I am not in Australia so can't help you with specific ones, but Google probably can. Also healthier fish fetch better prices so be sure to keep them well.
