only two of those worked, they make mine look tiny. considering getting a few more and leave them to see if a few pairs will appear

Im not sure how to add the photo via photobucket etc so it actually shows in the post and not as a link.

Ive had them for around 5-6 months now and feed them on a frozen beefheart recipe my local dealer makes himself, has flake bloodworm etc in it, has really made them grow.

Im still waiting for them to pair off, could take a long time from what i have read, ive got 7 and there are definately males and females but no luck yet!
 
that will be my next thing is working out how to sex the but i'd imagine there a bit small for that

I guess they might be, its still not easy when they are bigger, but generally the males have wider heads and more pettening from what i have read
 
It is impossible to sex discus accurately. Breeders can give an educated guess with 75% accuracy, but it is just a guess :/

Yeah its a bit of a nightmare, guess ill have to wait and hope a few pair off, not good in respects to £££ though, not sure where i would put my 5th tank lol
 
thanks guys well if any decide they are pairs my breeding angel will have to compete for a tank
 
 
looks good took a few pics of the first two again, everytime I approach the tank the 2 new ones hide so will leave them to settle in
