	Discus pairing & breeding
nickman713 Enthusiast Posts: 187 Registered: 31-Dec-2003	Is it common for two types of Discus to pair off and breed? If I were to get 3 diffrent types of discus (2 of each) would they all stay in a group or would they only stay with there one other species? Would they only breed within the same species or would they "mix" breed? Thanks for any help, -Nick

If this did not happen then we wouldn't have all the new strains coming through that there is today. Trace
