    Pictures of my pairs.

    Here are some photos of my pairs. I haven't had any success getting past the egg laying stage with both of these but that will change soon, I hope!

    Thanks Proteus

    I took the pictures today and just had to post them. The 3rd pic is the best pic I've taken so far.

    Thanks everyone I'm rapt with that 3rd photo as well. I can't take all the credit it helps having a good camera.

    Chris McMahon - I got the Red Turqs from Coburg Aquarium in Melbourne about 18mths ago. They sold them to me as Red Eagles. The Spotted Snakeskin (Leopard Snakeskin) and the Fineline Snakeskin I got from Oxheart. I also got some real nice Coral Snakeskins from him.

    Nicholas76 - The Spotted Snakeskin and Fineline have only laid eggs once but I think they're ready to go again as they're doing the same bow thing your's do.
    The Red Turq's have only laid once as a pair but the female has laid eggs twice before with my Pigeon Blood. I seperated her and paired her up with my male Turq as I didn't think the Red Turq and Pigeon Blood were a good combination. I was told that Pigeon blood is a dominate gene and most of the fry would have been pigeon bloods with heavy peppering.
    I'm in no hurry for them to lay as I'm going away for 2 weeks in 3 weeks time but once I get back if they keep laying and eating the eggs then I might try a mesh just to see if it works. I'll probably come back from holidays and find baby discus in both tanks wouldn't that be great.

    Thanks.. Oscar
