Tanks are in different rooms lol with different lighting

Very nice how many Discus do you have

and is it true you cant keep any other discus with a pair?

breeding pair adult alenquers
pair of young adult snakeskins
3 adult red turq's - 2 females and 1 male, hoping to pair off
1 confirmed adult pair Pigeon Bloods
4 juvie alenquers from first batch
and more adults in my planted community tank - 1 blue diamond, 2 pigeon bloods and 3 blue turqs

No not true, but you may not be able to raise the fry and the others might eat them
it's also not advisable to keep juvies with a pair as their hormones could kick of the breeding hormones in the juvies
one a female starts to lay eggs she almost becomes stunted and grows very very slowly
Ideally you do not want a discus to pair off until at least 5 inch in size

dude give me a poke if your selling any juvies I got another tank waiting just for discus haha

Will not be to end of first quarter of 2010,

might have to wait for next batch
