Post YOUR all time favorite Discus..

[pastry]

Man... if I can only pick ONE (at least one I have pics of... I had some jaw dropping wilds in the mid 90's that my teenage butt had no business keeping )... I'm going with the first Blue-Faced, Blue-Halo'ed RC that Kenny knocked me off my feet with. My God, her and her sister were so velvety looking in way way I haven't seen since, and then both of them, but especially one... just developed into such a phenomenal Chica (colors, demeanor, parent, etc). These pics don't do her justice AT ALL.

Loved my Turks also.

I came in third for thick lined turq at the NADA show in Chicago with this guy. I actually had two entries, both very similar in shape and color, but the other one finished out of the money. This one was a full 7.5" long, the other was 7.25".

I was absolutely thrilled to be competitive with all the importers and farms at that show. Never had anything since in my fish room that approached these two in size or quality. So there's a fair amount of luck involved...

That was a really stunning Turq..You should be proud. And you didnt have a farm with hundreds of fish to cherry pick.

You are such a brat Elliot I posted earlier in this thread but just for you...

I called her the Red Lady. She was a F1 Cuipeua and her red color was natural. She was a great mom and I miss her. Her only fault was she had amber eyes vs red.

I'm a real sucker for the wild strains. I personally think they are all very beautiful fish. There are a few far from wild strains I can get behind, but very few. Heckles, Tefe Greens are tops to my eye.

Big blue got photobombed. She’s my favorites bc I got her around 3-3.5” and she blossomed onto this with a nice shape and color. She doesn’t have red eyes though which doesn’t bother me much.

Willie, wasn't that the fish that we all referred to as "The Dinner Plate"? I remember that fish.

My discus career peaked in 2016.

This Discus was a pet shop fish, it use to sit side on at the end of the tank and watch me at my desk at the other end of the room. I loved how bright it got, like florescent aqua colour.
This is when I got it & then just before I sold it when I gave up the hobby 4 years ago. I loved this fish
