LYNDYLOO Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have been watching my Pigeon Checkerboard Over the past few Days, she has been doing alot of Cleaning on a piece of Driftwood. Sort of thought I saw her scoot along the piece of Driftwood like she was laying eggs, so had a good look but nothing there. So did my usual 80% Water Change as I do on a Tuesday in my Discus Tank, I also transferred into the Tank, a Big Discus and a Smaller Discus that I've had in another Tank for the past month or so, as I need to make room for some Killies that should be arriving tomorrow. Have had the lights turned out for the past couple of hours, thought I had better pop in and check on the 2 Discus that I transferred from the other Tank, well well to my surprise my Pigeon Checkerboard was laying eggs all along the Silicone in the back corner of the Tank. Seems to be 2 Blue Snakeskins hanging around her, so not sure if they are a threesome or just quite whats going on there really. Have to say I have noticed alot of tension in the Tank over the past week of so, but I just put it down to, maybe they had reached their Teenage Years :roll: Fingers crossed they dont eat their Eggs. This is Mum: One of these 2 are hopefully Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you know which one are the parents then you should set up a breeding tank and have a go. A good size tank is a 60cmx45x45. You'll also need a heater and a sponge filter and patience :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
