    lol, their 4 months old and I have grown so curious as to what they will look like once matured. which is why I posted hoping someone may have bred these same type of discus and can share their experience with me as to what the fry looked like once matured.

    The reason nobody can tell you for sure is because your breeding stock is not purebred. What you are doing is breeding a couple of mutts which will produce different types of offspring.

    I will be watching them grow out with great interest.

    Looks like you have a couple of smaller ones there.. You might want to separate them to give the bigger ones more space to grow.

    Both albino and golden albino came from browns Discus. Breeders had a difficult time breeding both of these fish, and as far as production it was easier to cross the yellow pigeon and red pigeon and sell them as albino Discus.

    You can do an iris check to see any inheritance of the albino.
