I am going to start a 55 gal. discus tank soon. I was wondering if I should go with a pair of 2 snakeskin and a pair of red marble discus or go with 4 snakeskin so they will breed. I understand it is a very low chance to fins a male and female then even lower chance to find two that will mate with just buying 2. So should I just buy 4 hoping they will have at least one good pair? I mean if its low for either to happen then I will just go and buy a pair of both cause it would be a little more interesting :p

Yeah I am probably gonna go with two pair. But first I am saveiing up for a 55 gallon tank with the right lights and hoods, heaters, and filter so they will be heatly plus I am going to have plenty of plants with it to. But Discus are so expensive and after plants and a new tank idk if I would afford at least 4 discus. Does anyone know of where I can get them kinda cheap? The place I buy my fish http://www.liveaquaria.com/ there $60.00.
