You would have to use a white based discus like a snowflake to try to develop a red/white. F1 pigeon crosses to barred discus like red turks may have lots of pepper
Well I dont know yet becouse my discus are yunior of 8-10 cm.I bought them in Duisburg 2004 and now I do WC and feed a lot.I'm interesting in strains that may future pairs could have.Anyway thanks!
this is really interesting stuff to read...makes me want to ask too...heheh
what would you get if you cross a marlboro red with a red cover??? will there be peppering?
Been trying to figure this one out and from the sounds of it I'm gonna be ending up with mostly Blue Turqs. Would be a Male Blue SSX with a Female Blue Turq. From what I've gathered if my head isn't still spinning too much, since you get the throw back of 9 bars even with breeding two Snakes then by adding the Blue Turq blood into the mix the off spring should be almost all blue turqs. What do you guys think?
Very interesting read!!! I had totally wrong concept going. I thought if ya cross 2 differtent strains you would get 1/4 to look like dad, 1/4 to look like mom, and 1/2 to look like a combination of the two. I guess the dominant and recessive genes do change things quite a bit. So I would assume to keep a LSS strain strong, with good spotting, you should breedback to RSG..or to a good F2 LSS. Is this sounding correct?
Carol - first of all thanks for your prompt reply. If u don't mind I need to ask for your expertise 1 more time :-)
I recently have fries resulting from a male Red_White and female BD,(mentioned to u in previous posts b4), now the fries are about 1 month old and they mainly consist of 2 types: one type with throwback (9 bars) and the other type with SS kind of gold bars (although there's no bar appearing across the eye). I guess my question is: why do I get babies with bars when both their parents are non-barred fish?
Also, do you think the "SS" type babies are truly SS? (then why no bar across the eye?) Thanks so much again.

I'm guessing the red/white has SS in prior generation - The 15 bar babies should have fine lines and gillplate spotting like SS. The ones without eyebars maybe whites. Some of the whites may have 15 faint bars too
Today I saw some really nice Cloud Leopard (fine spots all over body) in a LFS of mine and was wondering if I should buy some and cross them with my Leopard/LSS at home. So here are my questions :-0
Cloud Leopard x LSS = ?
Cloud Leopard x Leopard = ?
Cloud Leopard x Cloud Leopard = ?
-also, is there a difference between a Cloud Leopard and a Cloud Leopard Snakeskin?
Thank you so much Carol.
