Discus Gender

Why are you unable to get more than 2 Discus, cost, tank size..? If it's cost then it would probably work out more to buy a (breeding) pair than to get 4/5 discus. If I recall the cheapest Discus at my LFS were £20 each and the Breeding Pair they had were selling for £120+. I think my LFS stocks Dutch bred Discus though... which may affect the cost?

Pairs are fun and no need to worry about fry if you have other fish in the tank. Even a few tetras will slowly pick off the fry. It's fun to watch the discus pair do their thing you will enjoy them. I have a pair that spawn now and then the eggs never last longs.

When i put the discus in, should i literally just leave them to do what they have to do, or something else?? Due to tanks size i will have to have a pair, but as i have previously stated i am not interested in them breeding, they're just 4 display. If there is any fry that survive the 'egg stage' shall i take them out and give them to my lfs or should i leave them aswell?? Thanks in advance, Alex
