    Default Can someone experienced identify the sex?

    Can you see if this is a male fertilizing or a female laying eggs?

    I watched it on my computer and not my phone and I now change my answer. The rounded breeding tube makes me think it's a female. You can also see some eggs not attaching and falling as she is going up the intake tube.

    I haven't seen a female/male tube live other than this one, but from seeing other pictures. This one looks more pointed like the male tube doesn't it? And to look at the fins I've heard is very unreliable(?).
    Would be nice to figure out if this is a pair or not, so thanks a lot for the answers

    Looks like a female laying eggs. You can see the some eggs falling when they didnt stick.

    Only got a quick glimpse of the tube but looks like a female tube to me.

    Today there's new eggs and it's the other Discus in the (lezbo?)pair being recorded. Too bad I always get there after most of the the eggs are laid:/ So, now I can get a definite answer if this is a girl & girl pair or a male & girl pair The tubes look the same to me, but wanna make sure...
    Anyway, here's the video

    Btw, what's the "milky" stuff coming out of the breeding tube at some points?


    Cheers
