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:
