Indeed. One was taken with flash the other without. But, during breeding the blue diamonds will usually turn almost black on their sides. Or a really deep blue.

My tank stays at a toasty 86 I love doing water changes on this tank.

Soon to come....1-2 new discus tanks (!!) and more discus!

I love the malboro! The blue is nice too, but the reds and oranges always pop for me.

Slug

I'm a sucker for the classic solid strains. The reds are nice to me, but only if they are the more toned down rusty colored type. I love solid fish. Some spots might be in my future, but solids are where my heart lies right now. As you can tell, i love the blue. I might work with some red in another tank.

Oh wow! I want those!! Especially the Blue Diamond and Cobalts - what amazing Discus!

Slug

WE HAVE EGGS! For 2 seconds....then the Cobalt eats them lol. But the Blue Diamond is definitely a female! Oh well it will take some practice. I need some breeding cones with screen. Pics to come, not exciting but i had to take pics lol

Slug

Here is the Cobalt eating them.

He just wanted breakfast.

Slug

Well he got it! I was yelling at him through the tank. It was my first discus spawn so i'm upset, but realistically all cichlids go through the parental learning phase so its not to big of a deal.

Snack time! But at least now you know you have a pair

Ok i can't spot taking pictures. The update today is i seperated the pair into their own breeding tank. 20gal. New paint job on the tank too, i love it. I'm going to start painting all of my breeding tanks.

Discus... what a beautiful fish! I would only venture into them when I have a REDOX meter.

Don't mind posting more pics, we have enjoyed every one of them!

Slug

Thanks.

Still waiting on more eggs.

They look great. Just to tell you, they still look young so the male might even be shooting blanks the first few times he doesn't eat them. Don't be concerned if it takes even a half year for them to get it right.
