I used to breed Pigeon Blood Discuss before I got into reef. They pretty much form bonds when young (approx 2"-3") and stick with their mates for the rest of their lives. It was the only way I would ever get breeding pairs. I would start off with about 20 young ones in a 125 gal and watch them pair off as they became adults. The large tank helped them establish their own space and I found they were happier and grew faster. When a pair was established they were moved into their own 30 gal. I was never able to get newly acquired adults to pair off. They were just too territorial and would chase other new discuss away. I would love to get back into discuss but there are only so many money pits I can afford at a time.

Thanks bobafett. Good info. I have pretty much given up on getting her a tank mate, although she is tolerating the pleco right now, as long as he stays low. (plus, he's only about 2" long, so he hides well!) She is eventually destined for the empty 40 gallon, but right now, she is content in her 30 gallon, and the baby loves to look at the "ishy". She seems happy and healthy otherwise, so I guess why mess with it, eh?

And I can feel your pain on the money pits. As much as I would love to have a larger discus tank, the marine tank is higher on my priority list right now. :)
 
Thanks Eli! :) I'm kind of partial to that pic myself... :D

Greg, no can do my friend. I think we need to talk to Anthony and see if he can somehow come up with fraging technique for the Tridacnas. :lol:
