Really cool picture Pat ...

Could be 2 females maybe? That seems like a lot of eggs for one fish to lay. If they are a true pair then it will certainly be happy day when the spawn hatches.

Len I think the one is a male I saw him in person and I don't know just has that look of a male plus the size, I hope I'm right . Plus no doubt she could lay that many eggs the way Pat feeds lol.

dammm they are some nice discus, awesome colors! Its a pity i dont see too many of this variant in Australia!

Thanks, I have heard wilds are very hard to get in Australia.

Very nice Pat I hope the parents have learned a little since the last spawn .

Thanks Larry, I hope so too

Len, I have seen the breeding tube on this male...see what you think.

If they are a pair - OMG you're going to have a lot of little fish. I hope they are.

I would have liked a better picture to work with, but I'm thinking...

Tomorrow we should know Len. I went over to my parents today and arrived back about 9:30 and there are less eggs. ...but still about 500 if Keith's count is good.

Check the security cameras! Keith may have been in your fishroom swapping cones If you get wigglers and they turn out to be red turks or pigeon bloods of some sort you'll know for sure.

[Second Hand Pat]

Knowing Keith it will be red turks

[Second Hand Pat]

Just as a side note the Heckel X pair has a spawn just below the Trombeta x Cuipeua spawn and the tank temp is (ok, do not shoot me) 74.

Yes, PB babies would definitely clear me. If I had to guess Pat I'd say if anything my count was low, so maybe you still have 600.

[Second Hand Pat]

Well this morning Keith the egg count is zero. Big time bummer. The egg fairy is not being good to me.

In the meantime the little heckel X pair have about a half frozen whitest eggs. I think the male missed a couple. They have a good sized spawn but no way near the size of the Trombeta/Cuipeua pair.

[Keith Perkins]

That is a bummer.

They need more time ... sorry for new couple

You have picture of the little heckel Pat?
