Default Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank

Well, I am a little late with this but earlier in the week I had 2 pairs of discus breeding and each female seems to have a helpful mate. Not only are they laying eggs, but the first pair had LIVE babies all huddled in the back left corner of my tank (~40)!

The pairs were:

Wild caught brown discus
Pigeon blood

Blue cobalt discus
Solid Orange discus.....this would make an interesting offspring?

Here were the pictures I took on Tues:


...and the proud parents. Behind them are the egg casings and some un-hatched eggs. The normally light brown discus is almost a dark purplish brown from guarding the eggs:
