Newbie Question need answered

[discus_newbie]

Hi, I've read all over the place about breeding discus, but never seen this info comes up. Lets just say I have a pair, they are separated into breeding tank and spawn with frys. I then chuck them back into the main tank. Would they still stay as a pair and spawn again sometime soon? Or they just break up after spawning?

If you are asking if the pair would recognize each other as partners after the move, the answer is yes. If you are asking if they will spawn again in the main tank, the anwer is maybe because there are many factors to consider such as other males getting the female's interest and vice versa. I have a pair that will spawn every 7 days or so when they start spawning. You should probably leave them in their own tank with the fry for at least 10 days and at that point they may have spawned again already. It's rare for them to take care of both spawns at once but there are pairs that can and will do it. I would remove the fry at 10 days or so if more eggs have been laid.
