    Default Spawning Discus Pairs

    I recently got two discus pairs - one red turquoise and one pigeon snakeskin. Both pairs spawned yesterday - we shall see what happens. Video shows the red turquoise pair. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks! I am hoping to continue decreasing my single discus stock and focus on pairs. After saying that, a couple of my other pairs have just laid eggs so might be awhile before I get new pairs.

    I got them from Hans in the US. I believe others here have gotten from him too. Friendly, funny, upfront type of guy. I also have some of Rick's great looking pairs as well.

    This breeding is all new to me so learning as I go and hoping for (but not expecting) the best

    I've known Hans for over 15 years. When I first met him he was still living in holland.
    Believe it or not he quit discus once...he was gonna buy a corvette. There was a bet going on how long he'd last. He made a few weeks or so.
    I sold alot of stendkers a few years back. I will be supplying again within a couple of weeks.
    Good luck on the spawn. Remember..that's the easy part. Getting them bred.
