More pics of my fish can be seen if you just shorten the address back to "discus' in the url

I have been keeping Fish now for about 10 years on and off -- last lot were chiclids...

i have had discus now for about 6 = 8 months

are you asking because you have a male for sale ???

i have a female that has laid about 70 eggs each time for 3 weeks straight now ... the fish that i am told is female does a pass over the eggs straight after the female has laid - i have seen a tube extended that looks different than that of the female and a little further down the body .... have ot seen any fluid come out ???

the eggs are usually gone by morning - even after i cover the front glass with newspaper - to provide privacy

i am in the process of obtaining a 3 - 4 foot tank for the sole purpose of breeding and raising the babys ....

thank

thought I had a male I could loan to you but I checked it properly and its probably a female :? Maybe Scott Bowler has one, he has heaps of discus.
