I have two Discus in a 55g, one is a turquoise snakeskin and the other is a pigeon blood (who is slightly stunted, I got him as a rescue fish). Along with a small school of cardinal tetra’s the only other inhabitant is an Angel who is being housed there whilst his tank finishes cycling.
About 20 mins ago the turquoise snakeskin started to lay eggs against the housing of an internal filter. So the questions I need help with are:
1) Would two different strains of Discus mate or
2) Would a female egg layer spawn eggs and lay even if there wasn’t a mate present?
3) Although incredibly unlikely does the Angel have something to answer for?
Either way I am over the moon (well apart from the fact that Clifford is definitely not Clifford and is now renamed Cliffete)…….
Thanks in advance for any assistance…….
