This is day 2 after receiving my November Shipment of Discus from Kenny.
Surprisingly a pair formed and spawned later the evening this video was taken.

They have also colored up quite a bit more since this was taken 3 days ago.

Hey thanks, guys, they ate the first round of eggs, I don't think they were fertilized. I wasn't expecting much from eggs on the second day. Kind of a strange occurrence. I'm going to add 2 more 5" discus to this setup next month. The large 5.5" white carnation blood pigeon has claimed the entire open area as his and has become pretty aggressive towards everyone else so I'm hoping that will minimize that. Other than that fish are fine.

The tank is by Waterbox. It's a reef 100.3, I got a reef version so I can have a sump for 30 gallons of extra water volume and a place to hide all my media and heaters. I don't like the look of equipment in the tank. Part of me wishes I would have gotten a Marine X 110.4 for the extra foot of length but this will do for now. I like them because they are super high-quality low iron starfire glass and the overflow is made of glass, with a glass cover so you can scrape it with an algae scraper without scratching it.
