VR & Red Turq...

[AmberC]

Well.. you guys got me. I just cleaned up and prepared the 55 for breeding and I've got the two in there. Right now they are just sitting in the corner (they just went in about 5-10 min ago.)

They look really pretty in there tho thats for sure :) So we shall see what happens. This will be my second attempt at spawning. I got free swimmers that lasted about 2 weeks the last time.. then the parents started to spawn again and I was also having pH crash problems so it didn't work too well, but since I have figured all that out.. perhaps this round shall be better.

Whole tank: I left the sand and the piece of driftwood in there. The driftwood because that anubius nana is tightly secured on there and I couldn't get it off and theres no room for the whole piece of driftwood in my other tank without making it really cluttered looking so I just left it.

Amber,
The tank looks great to me! Just a small suggestion, take a plastic garbage bag and cut it so it wraps the tank on 3 sides. I've found that they like the security it provides them.

Thanks for the suggestion Larry.. but.. I dont like to baby them and these discus are not at all shy. About two min after I took those pics.. they were swimming all across the front.. wanting food lol. I'm not too worried about it. :)

The fish look nice but if all I had are the pots I would add a second one on top of the one in there to make it a little taller or put something under it to raise it up off the sand about 2-4 inches. I think it's too short for them to make a good run along the eggs during fertilization

Nice pair of fish.Should be some nice babies from them.

I've had another pair spawn on a regular basis on this pot :) Thanks tho! I'll keep it in mind.

Is it the male or the female that's usually cleaning the cone?

With my other pair.. it was always the female. But this is only my second pair ever.. so I dont really know cause I dont know which is which with these guys yet.. hopefully I wont miss the action!

Thanks everyone!

That IS the baby tank lol. I'd not want to grow out the fry in anything less than the 55. I dont know.. I hear people do it in 29's-30's.. but .. and this is probably just me.. it just seems too small to me. So I'll be growing em in the 55.

Now.. thats if everything goes well lol.
