My Forrest Red Turqs

[Ed13]

They look awesome Al!

Thanks everyone.

Vera, they were raised on mix diet...their color is part genetics and part diet...I would guess the degree of color from diet comes largely from my surf and Turf homemade foods( containsmany things but for color...krill/paprika/spirulina)...and the ocean nutrition pellets I fed the as juvies....
Now as young adults/teenagers they also get freeze dried blackworms as you can see in the picture.

hth,

Very beautiful Al! The colors are gorgeous and vibrant. And I don't think I have ever seen striations within striations before!

April,
I don't know how you and Kenny do it..... If it were me the moment I received a shipment from Forrest my personal collection would grow even if I had to tear down walls, and of course my profits and inventory would shrink..alot!

April does it by having all her fish at the shop, so all the begging and drooling from customers breaks her resolve and she sells everything. Is that about right, April?

Thanks Dominik! Don't lose heart.... Not every group of discus will do well...some is due to genetics, and source...some due to care and maintenance as well as knowledge base....and sometimes...its just bad or good luck.

Al,

Thanks for the update of the FRT's. You did a great job raising them up and glad to know they've been vibrant from day one. I wish you the best in getting pairs from them soon!

Thanks Al,
Kenny

I'm a chump for nice red turqs, and that's a beautiful group. The one with the striations within striations is definitely unusual... I like it. I think Hedut has (or had) a few like that. Likely from Kenny and Forrest, I believe...

Very good example of RT's Al, reminds me of Schlingmans, very nice indeed.
