will the real male please stand up.

I suck at picking out a male discus.

Two discus appeared to pair off. One was much bigger then the other. I said great, I put them in their own tank and the small one laid eggs. The large one ate the age, ok I thought I had a pair. Today the large one laid eggs. I split them up and put them in their own tanks, I added another discus in each tank with them that I think are males.

In the main tank lots of activity is going on. I put another pair in a 20 gallon tank today that I think may of paired off. Eggs were laid 30 minutes later but the other one ate them.. Time will tell if they are male and female.


A lot of fin fluttering is still going on in the main tank. I will keep a eye on things and may need to move two more in a 20 before the night is over.
