    Default Interesting Pair

    I've had a couple Snow Whitesfor a coupleyears. Never spawned. I assumed same sex. I added a couple red golden diamonds awhile back. This is what I found this morning. Sorry, hard to get a good pick. Lots of glare.

    Cool mate, assuming you mean it's a SW x RGD? How would those offspring look?

    I'm not sure what to expect. Maybe something like the red-whites I've seen in Kenny's shipments. White with red blotches. Kenny seemed to think they would make a good cross, but "experimental." White is dominant.

    There is a lot of incomplete dominance with Discus. I don't know what you would get with this combination. The red is a PB, right? I don't think that you will get what Kenny thinks unless you worked at it for many generations. I bet Cliff would know.

    It's not a PB. It's a golden. I think both are derived from browns.

    So they say. Is she a brownish red or an orangy red? I wish I could see a picture of the fish under better lightning.

    I'll work on better picks later in the day. She's a dark red with halo and has the typical grey undertones of the goldens.

    Like I said, I'm not sure. But I still think PB in the background. If I'm wrong I still think that you'd get a mix of types.

    Thanks Tom! Yes, I've been impressed by how red and somewhat larger the eggs seem that those from my recent tiger turk spawns. I don't expect much in their current situation, but it would be nice to get them confirmed.
