    Default Discus genetics

    Can some one explain breeding genetics?
    Is it like dogs, where if you breed two different strain you may get a some of each kind? or are they all considered mongrels.
    If I breed a black and blond labrador retriever i may get some blond and black labs.

    If I breed a Blue diamond and a white Platinum discus am i making a new strain or do I get some of each?
    I hope this makes some sense.
    Thanks

    No easy way to explain Discus genetics. Your example crossing a BD x white platinum may involve other crosses with these discus we are not aware of. There is a very good read about discus genetics that may interest you... http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...iscussion-quot
