Re: Checkerboard x bobalt
It's a good cross, but there is no telling what you will get in the fry without knowing the genetics of the parents. I would expect you to get mostly Turks.
Re: Checkerboard x cobalt
Is the red/white checkerboard a PB?

Re: Checkerboard x cobalt
You're right, Pat. If it's PB based it's a no go. Ugly peppered fry is the usual result.
Re: Checkerboard x cobalt
Hi thanks for youre answers!
I'm not quite sure what you mean by pb. I tried to look it up in my own language but then it means "private message" 😅
Is there a way I can upload a photo here? So you can see the 2 together?

If you are familiar with peppering in PB discus generally what happens when you cross a PB with a non-PB the fry are heavily peppered. Some folks like the peppering but most prefer non-peppered discus.

Hi sorry for the late answer. Had some problems here. The male is a pb from stendker en the female is a Cobalt. I got there first batch (around 20) they are now about 4 weeks old. From that 20 only 2 seems to be peppered. How is this possible? 🤔
I'll try to upload some pictures from the couple as well as the fry.
Again sorry for the late answer (and my English)
Kind regards from the Netherlands
Re: Checkerboard x cobalt
I can't upload any pictures I see. Upload is failing it says
Re: Checkerboard x cobalt
Pics need to be 2 MB or less. Putting it in an email usually reduces it enough, or there are programs out there that do that.

PB=acronym. Or lazy man's English. When used in a sentence and the reader does not know the acronym the point being made is lost. Acronyms are so rampant where I work that the company had to publish an index, which is at least 20 pages in length, so we can code break them. So bad that one of my co-workers made a complete sentence using only acronyms. I can feel your pain, Dragonflys.
