My other 2 Discus:

Notice a cardinal tetra in the lower left corner.

Great pics! Love the discus.

Your tank looks really nice D

I found Discus eggs the other day. Two of them (the brown and pigeon blood) are guarding the leaf of the Amazon sword plant very closely. I will have to take a few photos and post them soon!

Do the Discus eat while they are guarding eggs?

If you don't mind, where did the Yellow Discus come from? My wife has finally shown an interest and I would like to encourage it.

How long til they hatch?

I got 2 new disus in Feb. One is a red turquoise, the other is a peach tiger striped guy. I can't wait to see what he ends up looking like as he grows up.

Here are 2 new guys I got in Feb:


Here is the red turquoise:


Here is the pale tiger striped guy:


Here is a somewhat blurry group shot:

is the pale new guy an albino? his eyes are a lot brighter red than the rest of the group.

Time will tell. They tend to change soo much from juvenille to adult. He could stay peach, turn orange or yellow, or be a pigeon blood mix?

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:

Well it looks like all the babies are missing. I do have a floating breeder ready in case the second pair's eggs hatch, or I find some babies around some plants/gravel. My guess would be the filter or the algae eater.

Did you find them?

Nope they were all gone, but it looks like my Discus are mating again. They keep making eggs, but that was the only newborns I have seen thus far. I will have to post more pictures soon. My 2 newer discus are starting to show more "colors".
