LOOKING GOOD : Confirmed Discus Mating Pair - Red Turk + Leopard

[Peterchow]

Got 2 leopards from april a few weeks ago and since then my 2 large red turks have been fighting for their dates. For a few weeks, the tank was in a riot with frequent chasing. Finally, I identified a potential couple, a large red turk & a leopard, both from April. On Sunday, I separate them in my 35 gal hex breeding tank, and the female laid eggs yesterday. I haven't identified which one is the male or female yet, or both females, as I missed the spawning action. Until the eggs fertilize, then I can confirm this is a mating pair. NOw, my whole 108 gal discus tank is being treated as the discus are sick from unkown reasons : STRESS or DISEASE

My W/C is consistent as well as all other regular maintenance. Well, this is not the first time I experienced this mystery. Discus are very finicky, senitive, fragile & moody. I am seriously considering downsized my discus tank to 75 gal after this treatment, to create a tighter& sociable community.

My apology for the dark pictures due to poor lighting. Thanks for viewing !!!!!

Thanks , Don !!!

The farthest I got with discus breeding was free swimming frys, and I lost them as they couldn't follow their parents for slime feeding.

No regret of buying my discus from a very reliable & reputable sponsor !!!!!

This is my 4th mating pair and the last two were from April.

I agree. All my discus have come from her as well and I couldn't be happier. I also have a pair, but haven't gotten them into their won tank. It's a blue diamond and a checkerboard pigeon.
