Terrible cross. Ugly peppered Discus regardless of how clean the parents are. If you make that cross you will regret it.
what would Cross between blue diamond and Marlboro red look like?

Sorry...I know that I am too blunt. Being to the point saves time.
The reason is that a Marlboro is a pigeon blood based strain. When you cross a Pigeon with a non Pigeon the fry are always heavily peppered.

First off sorry for barging in but I also been wanting to know.
What strain is the Fiamma Rossa? Fries going to be ugly as well? I also have a blue diamond that paired up with the FR, not proven. I don't plan on breeding so just being curious. Thanks
Non Pigeon Blood.. x Non Pigeon Blood.. = Nice.. non peppered fish..
Pigeon Blood x Pigeon Blood = nice.. non peppered..
PB x NPB.. = Pepper fish.. (people that know discus would not want them, others that don't know discus. .wouldn't know any better..
your fish.. its up to you..

Cool thanks guys.. I found someone selling quarter sized crosses for 10 bucks a pop so I think it's worth it since I'm new to Discus :P
Enjoy yourself.

oh good, I thought I was misreading something,
Well I've had them for 2 weeks now and they are doing great. I have 5 Blue Diamonds and 5 of the Blue Diamond X Marlboro in my 125G. WC 50+/-% every other day. I think they look pretty my phone doesn't do justice.13702504_1166125506764483_136989434_o.jpg13694330_1166125536764480_177873802_o.jpg
They do look nice and healthy. Keep us updated as they grow out.
They look good to me. With that amount of peppering at that age, they will likely have very little peppering as adults.
