looks like a marlboro to me. does it have a pattern on the tail ? where did you get it from ?

[G-1000]

Yeh I know what you mean Samir

Kev from SLS went overseas and selected this one for me as a red golden diamond (RGD). As you can see it isnt exactly white through the fins, but it is 100% clean on the entire body (except for the fins).

Ladyred and I seem to be in the same boat, however unlike a marlboro, the intensity of these black streaks can change upon mood and conditions. Like I can make them go away completely if I do a large w/c, but they darken considerable to what you see in that pic if the fish is overfed or stressed.

my marlboro does do it, when spawning the fins turn muck darker, the rest of the story i'll pm you.

Great fish and Great Shots.

How do you keep it so clean??

Well Done

[samir]

what about the snakeskin in the background, male or female ??? if male maybe try that with the albino ?

[G-1000]

The snakeskin is a female and doesnt seem to like the boys anyhow

:(

love the albino ..... :P

G if that white fish with the white eye is a female, I'd do a test mating with her and the male RGD.

I believe a lot of the breeders like to use those white fish because they put no colour into the fry at all, so they should all look like the other parent.

He's a gorgeous fish. Should produce lovely babies.

[G-1000]

That white fish is a white swan - its massive too.

Almost 7 inches in size.

Im not sure if its a male or female, but its vent looks completely different to the RGD's.

I dont know what you mean about if I cross them to one another though ?

Will it clean up the RGD is that what you mean ?

DSC01574.JPG is a 7 inch blue knight discus.

Sometimes they are sold under the name reflection D or brilliant blue.

thanks. i bought one similar from an aquarium and they called it violet reflection. a week later the fish lost a lot of the colour and the body turns into a pale brown colour. my tank was fine every fish was normal except this new one i bought...no sure why....may be hormones that it was given. the one you have would be something that i am pretty keen. is the blue colour quite neon bright colour?

Pics in set 1 and 2 are taken without flash (as you would see in a tank for example)

Pics of them breeding is with a flash.

They look like pic sets 1 and 2 all the time for me.

You just need to get hold of good quality stock to begin with
