New Discus Breeding Pair

[Mattzilla]

Been itching to get a discus pair for a little while now and i came across this pigeon blood pair the other day and couldn't resist!

I bought them from B & C Aquarium at Matraville (excellent aquarium). Barry said these (and all his discus) were imported from Penang.

These guys have a few flaws but they are still pretty nice to me.

Fingers crossed they breed for me!

Here is the male

The female

and together

your comments are welcomed

Great pick up Matt. Lovely looking fish. How big are they?

Barry's new shop is certainly worth a look.

The "striped" pb looks like an male? Not a good profile picture so hard to tell.

They are very nice :yes: it will be interesting to see if they breed for you. Discus can be quite finicky about their partners in my experience.
Do you know if they have been a pair for a while or if they have just recently been paired up?
