Hi All.
This is my first post since I only started discus keeping 3 weeks ago.
This pair started laying eggs already and gotto the wriggler stage 4 times....then they ate them.
Will try separate breedng tank next time.

What will the offspring look like? Blue and Yellow discus makes Green??

The pigeon is an albino yes?? looks like it from the photo.

Generally, I would never mix a blue strian with a pigeon. Most of the offspring will be heavily peppered probably worse that the fish swimming into your photo Copy PIC_0099.JPG.
It will be a learning experience for you to try to raise these fish, but for me, I see no benefit in the cross so would not let them breed at all.

Now, if you have a pair of albino's or another 'clean' pigeon to pair with it, go for it big time.

Not sure if he's albino or not. I thank you for the insight. peppered discus would look awful!!
But i'll see if we can raise some anyway just for a first time experience.
