Hey Guys,

i am just wondering what the best signs are that 2 discus have paired up?

WAIT TILL THEY SPAWN

sometinmes 2 females can "pair up" make sure you have a viable male and female before you try and breed them.

i wanted to get them into a tank before they spawn.
maybe the question should have been what are the signs that 2 maybe pairing up.

haging togethrer lots of shaking and shimmering, chassing fish away from their teritory, again wait till they s[pawn in the community tank, make sure eggs are fertile, let the 1st spawn or 2 get eaten to build parenting instincts.
