well 2day i have noticed sumthing is going down in the tank my oragnish/ red discus and the blue turq (maybe red sorry dont know the names)
have been garding this one spot near the log all day long, whenever another comes by the red orange chases it away.

Also the breeding tubes are now visible (i say this as i have seen an angelfish breeding tube have a pair at moment) Is the male discus tube simlar to that of an angel like a v point? and the female more lick a thicker short stump?

I have too pics of the fish with lowered tubes.. I think the orangish red is possibly a male.. What u think??

best way to tell the diffrence IMO


male tube - thin sharp

female - fatter / blunt tube
