That last yellow reminds me of a nice sunset. Great job Rick.

[Discus-n00b]

Love that yellow fish. Love the more traditional looking offspring too but that yellow is AWESOME!

It seems you have found it! I miss Chad being around. Hopefully Rick can get a good amount of these? Rick, what percentage are coming out like this?

[Joe]

Nice work!

[limige]

Love that cross. You need to stabilize that strain with the red halo thats awesome

[nc0gnet0]

yup, if I could get a little better coverage with the red spots it would be a winner.

[alcastro]

Congrats Rick

[blueluv]

These are some gorgeous growouts!

A very small percentage but I do have a few, hoping for a pair or two. Here is another (pictured with a golden glss) of mine. Excuse the crappy cell phone pic.

These are still juvies mind you, so we will wait and see how they mature.

Jaw just dropped on post #33 pics... there is literally no one else like you on here. Loooove following your projects. I know I've said it before but really do appreciate the heck out of you constantly updating on all of your crosses, broods, growouts, etc.

[MKD]

Great looking interesting cross and thank you for updating pics. I really like this one.

I would give anything to be able to do this.
Life sucks when you know your smart enough to know you failed.
I see these pictures and it makes me cry, after almost a year of trying everything and thousand and thousands of hrs invested in studying and maintenance, not including all the money spent... A pinch of success would be nice, but nothing.
These incredible discus just make me truly consider quiting this entire hobby.

That's it.....
I'm done.

Don't quit, i had batches and batches of fry die after a month or so now i got close to 300 and i enjoy watching Rick's and others peoples fry and grown discus.

[MadMatt]

It's getting close to a year of perpetual failures (I would guess at close to 70 or more spawns lost), I have followed everyone's advice and still nothing, I see these tanks and the results are great, my tanks are getting close to something you would find in a medical laboratory, still nothing.
Ricks results are awesome to say the least.
Incredible!
:)

Beautiful discus Rick. This is what can happen when you know what to cross and having forethought about the potential line that may come out of it. Keep up the great work.
