Another pair of homebreds spawning.
Today was a great day anyway. It became my lucky day when I went down to do WC and saw the apparent pair I had pulled out of the community tank a couple of weeks in the act. They're in 22 TDS water and they are doing their thing! I'm pumped.
This is a better quality pair overall than my last homebred pair. I have my fingers crossed that they get the process right this first time.

Wow Congrats Liz Good luck on the first attempt... I know how difficult that can now be so I pray everything goes right for you!
Re: Another pair of homebreds spawning.
That is so kind of you Joshua. I didn't want to stare at them and perhaps bother them but I have a feeling that the male never "got it down". The last time I went down and glanced at them he was hiding behind the cone. Time will tell.

Cool Liz...hope he got the job done for her!

A ton of eggs this morning...every single one white. Oh well, it's a start. Young males can be very stupid.

LOL Liz, true in every species. Here's to future success with this pair. :)

I can't do it any more. It's nice for someone to take gentle advantage of the opening I left. Thanks, Pat.

I've been itching to post a pic of the parents. Forgive my photograph. It's cloudy because the tank is antient and all scratched and cloudy. Every time I do a wipe down it gets better, but still...So I can't take a clear long shot of both together. I'll use words instead.
The female is somewhat smaller than I would like. I'm not crazy about the blending between the nose and the dorsal and she's rather long in the face. Her most important attribute is that she has a full pattern. Of course she's still young. As she matures the pattern will develop and will divide striations into spots. Of course, I hope a lot...
The male is my best homebred Discus. I love his shape. His pattern is way more complete than my other males.
I sure do wish somebody more knowledgeable would post with their own opinions...please. You don't have to be any kind of expert to have an opinion. I'm not any kind of fancy NADA judge and it's what I do.

You're on a roll Liz! Good luck with this pair
Re: Another pair of homebreds spawning.
Second spawn yesterday afternoon. By WC time this afternoon the eggs were all white...again!!! What's up with this big fine male? Could he really be so stupid that he didn't get it the second time around. Thank God I'm stubborn as hell and always hope for the best.
I can breed Bristlenose. I can breed Rainbow Fish, I can breed Angels, I can breed Gourami's but these Discus, my passion, have me beating my head against the wall.
