Look what I found

I am working from home today.....it is that nasty cough...It would not go away. ;D

So I decided to take a break and take some picture of my fish. I finally got my camera back and have been promising a few breeders to send pictures of their fish.

As I was starting in the 100gallon community tank in my living room. This is what I saw.

The pigeon is the first discus I got since returning back to the hobby.....How fitting.

3 guess as to who I bought the Marlboro red from. Winner gets a Noprize.

PS..."The Fish will guide you"

Since they are sitting with 15 other fish in a community tank. I was thinking about leaving them where they are. I have about 10 wilds in that tank and would really like to get a couple of them to rumble and shake. So my thought is that maybe the activities in the tank will also get them in the mood. The marlboro I think is a little young so probably would require a couple of tries. I figured I would just let them practice in the community tank...

What does everyone think?

congratulations....
good idea-let them practice...can always move them later...

Congratulations,

Let them practice in the tank, good idea to let them learn how to protect the babies.

I let mine before with others, and i got my second pair.

I guess that it will trigger other discus to breed ;D

All the best, lovely marlboro

Regards,
Ronny

They make a lovely pair Henry
I bet you get several pairs out of that tank in the next couple of months.

[henryD]

Thanks everyone for the advice. I am so excited since this is my first pair. Now if only I can catch them actually laying the eggs then I can tell which is a female or male.


PS.....I am starting to see some shaking from others in the tank. Some of them are wilds even. :bounce1:

Look at the breeding tubes - they are down for quite a while after breeding. The females is larger.

Yup...Al,

I moved the 5 guys I got from you into the community tank. It has been there for 1 week and look what I saw.

It also looks like I have 1 pair of maderias and a royal blue (I think there is some heckle blood in there). This pair is wildsxwilds. Been doing some shaking and fighting off others.

Now if only I can get off my arse to put together the rest of the room then I will seperate them.

Ps....I am sure it is nothing I am doing. I just provide the food and water. What the fish decides to do is up to them.
