Welcome to fishlore.
[/Thanks for advice,just letting you guys know I put fish back in community tank they laid again but the male ate them most likely because he felt frettend by the other fish,I will get it right sooner or later(I hope!) anyway thanks for the help and happy fish keepingquote]
too bad the happy couple can't have their own tank to do their thing in. it sounds like the other fish are making it harder for you to get a successful spawn.nicole said:Yeah maybe,but its good to let the parents fan the eggs until they become wrigglers.I should put them back on thier own but they sulk when moved to much.I love the photo's of your tanks you guys have posted keep up the good work.

Hi, It's hard to determine sex until u actually have a pair that are spawning.Female have a tube for egg laying and male have a pointed small bump.Two female can also lay eggs and think they are a pair,the best way to tell is when they are spawning watch what they do,the male should be fertilising eggs while female is laying.I'll post pics for you but I don't think that will help you as I had trouble trying to take pic of underneath fish.Best of luck with your fish.VidW said:hi nicole!
can you put your discus' pic here?
i want to know how to determine gender
Yeah, Discus are really good-looking fish. If one day I have this huuuge tank. What's their personalities like? Are they as attaching as mollies or bettas?capekate said:Hello Nicole
and a 'late' welcome to fishlore! I just came across your posts. I wanted to tell you that I just love.. love..love the discus fish! they are so beautiful. I would love to have one of them in my 29 gallon tank,but not too sure if the tank is big enough for them. But I sure wish I could have one of my own. Ive checked out the discus photos in the fish photo section and fell in love with them.
How are your discus doing now? any new eggs as of yet??
