Color of eggs

I’ve got a nice pair of discus recently. No plan to breed. But within a few days a qt these 2 layed eggs on my internal filter. Eggs stayed there for a few days then they ate them. Thought I had a pair. This first set of eggs were red. I never saw who layed them. About 2 weeks later I’ve got red eggs again. These are eaten right away. 2 days later I’ve got white eggs in the same place. Can one female lay different color eggs? The whites were eaten as they were laid. So I think I’ve got 2 females. Water changing today and there are red eggs on the flower pot I added and both are again taking care of the eggs. What’s up? Females or a pair?

You have 2 different pairs. Not basted on color, but on the fact that it takes at least a week for a female to lay a clutch of eggs.

No Liz there are only 2 fish :).Attachment 135877http://youtu.be/FftDpreutl8

Well, that's a head scratcher...BTW, it looks like you have a male and a female.

That was my first thought! But I’ve never seen who’s laying the red eggs. I watched the smaller red one lay the white eggs and the blue one ate them right away. I’m thinking they’re 2 females. Be nice if the blue ones a male and the red one lays different color eggs.

My guess, is that the white eggs were no good, the male knew and he ate them.

Ok now I’m back thinking 2 females!! Attachment 135901Attachment 135902 Well they spent 2 days taking care of the red eggs and now this morn Allred gone and replaced with white new eggs. Which they are both taking care of. Funny fish!!

The eggs will turn white for various reasons.

The white eggs are died. These are covered with fungus to produce a white appearance.

Red eggs probably the Discus was eating color enchanted food. White eggs fungus, The eggs should be amber orange.

I hear ya’s!! But definitely white eggs no fungus. It was 2 females. One laid red eggs the other white. They acted like a pair but the eggs weren’t fertile. I got a male and the eggs are now fertile. Got a thread running about the fry.Attachment 136770
