    Default Too Many Pairs in Milwaukee

    I am currently housing 8 adult Discus of the red Turq variety (two of them are tigers) in a 120 gal. for the last six months the two largest have been a pair and have dutifully raised their babys to wiggler stage at which point the fry disappear. I'm guessing they become free swimming and get eaten or attach themselves to the Black drains in my tank and starve. No biggie to me because I am not interested in breeding and the tank is plenty big for these two to have a territory to defend without disrupting the rest of the tank. Well yesterday I was surprised to see another pair guarding a second clutch of eggs. There did seem to be a little more agression in the tank which I am keeping an eye on but it occurred to me that someone might want to take a crack at actually raising some of these. I'm not interested in selling them but wouldn't mind trading one of the pairs for some other adult discus of a different strain.
