Can you see the milt when the male releases it ?

I have watched several confirmed pairs spawn and have never been able to see the milt. Which made me wonder about a post I read a few days back where they said they could readily see the milt.

Can you see it ??? :?

Of the hundreds of times my discus pairs spawned, I never saw any milt ejaculated from the male discus.

This is because I kept my distance whilst the spawning was in progress.

maybe someone else can be of further help with your question.

I've never seen it happen in discus either, but that's not to say it isn't possible.

I have witnessed it in larger cichlids, and the milt is like a small white cloud that dissipates in the water very quickly, so yes, it's possible, but it's rare to actually witness it.
