      Must be a Pro to breed them!
      Hah... hardly... i'm just an obsessed bum....

      what is the name of that discus the colors are so nice and bright. Will you be selling some of the fry i might be interested.
      Well... unofficially these are called "Tangerines" but discus names have little meaning nowadays. Everybody is naming their discus whatever they want. But officially they are Pigeon Bloods that have the striations bred out of the main body.

      Sure they're for sale. I usually let them go at any point after they reach 1.5" and are eating well.

      I was impressed with your own deligence to the process, seems you did as much work as the parents
      Well... they don't pay me enough at work. So i have to work hard to keep fed. One spawn like this will probably enable me to buy a couple of boxes of ramen noodles. Should keep me fed for a couple months.

      Do you play Barry Manilow 24/7 or what?
      Actually i keep Rush Limbaugh on... i figure they'll either want to commit suicide or will induce labor.....hah

          Mark
          Sure... i can send him over and give your turq a pep talk....lol

          Well.. you can do like what Zulaab said and remove the offending male if he is eating the fry.

          If they are eating the eggs BEFORE hatching. Try a wire screen over the eggs so that the parents can still fan the eggs but keep them from eating them. Usually by the time the eggs hatch, the parents will have bonded and not eat them. I use plastic gutter screens from home depot.

          Good luck!

              WOW. This might be the coolest thread I've ever read here at HFB. Everyone be sure to rate this one four stars at the top.

              Nacra, thank you for sharing. You can be modest all you want, but breeding Discus is no easy feat - yet you've made it seem just that. Again, thanks for sharing!
