discus couple

When it comes to spawning, probably the discus (Symphysodon spp.) are the most romantic and caring species. This is because the characteristic of Symphysodon species are their care for the larvae. As for most cichlids, brood care is highly developed with both the parents caring for the young. Additionally, adult discus produce a secretion through their skin, off which the larvae live during their first few days.

You gotta love them!
