New Pair
I have 2 red Turks who’s tubes have dropped. They’re in a 90 gallon display tank with other discus. They’re chasing everyone. I have a spare 20 gallon tank I can put them in. But should I wait until they lay eggs or take them out now? I heard that sometimes a pair won’t breed after they’re moved?

Re: New Pair
If it’s their first time I’d leave them be. It usually take a few times before they work it out. This way you know they’re a good pair. I have what I would believe are 3 pairs in one of my tanks. But none of them have made it past eggs.

Re: New Pair
Tom is right. However, I do have a female that I got from Kenny which after only two weeks of her being in a community tank she took interest in a male. I moved them to a 20 gallon. Three days later they spawned first time to free swimmers. So it can go either way but like, Tom, says no harm in leaving them be for now. I separated the pair because the male wanted to go it alone raising the fry. I then put them back together a month ago. So far nothing going on.

Ok. I guess eggs will be eaten. Then things will calm down again in tank. I’ll wait until they lay eggs a couple of times before I remove them. As long as they don’t hurt the other discus.

Re: New Pair
Wait till the eggs are fertile then move the pair with the fertile eggs in your 20 gallon this way the pair will stay in their parental care mode.

They seem to be cleaning a spot on a huge piece of driftwood. So I won’t be able to move them with eggs.
