Hello I was wondering about a pair I have in my community tank. A Tiger Turq and a solid blue Discus they are laying eggs every month or so for 18 months now but the eggs always get eaten before they can hatch -by tankmates. I never worry about it because I am wary of breeding poor Discus, (they are both decent fish bought from a supplier on here) but what could I expect if put them into a breeding tank color wise?
I have some pics of them.

Any thought appreciated - the discus at my local lfs are embarrasing-

hey AS28 well if you breed these fish you should get some soild fish and some turks and the rest will be a mix , there will be more of one then the other depending on the dominate strain
