New Misc discus pics!

The second picture in 14? Behind the turq? Thats one of Kenny/Forrest Flamingos. The males generally won't get the full red color like females. Thats actually the same fish as the last pic in post 14.

They look fantastic Matt, great shots! Do you remember the name of your background color paint? I like that shade, it brings out the blues instead of washing them out.

Now would this be the same as super flamingos as far as color goes?

No. I believe Super Flamingos are basically Pigeon blood or have more pigeon blood in them than anything else. The Flamingos (Red Melon x RGD), now have more RGD genes than anything else.

I think the Super Flamingos tend to be more red than the flamingos.

Thanks for clarifying. I purchased a sf and it is super red.

Thanks! That color is the "Blue Ocean Breeze" by Krylon from Walmart. http://www.krylon.com/products/indooroutdoor_paint/

It would be best to ask Kenny himself, as him and Forrest would have the exact answer. I couldn't tell you but from pictures of previews, the super flamingos will be more covered in red. Some of these in the latest shipment really had some nice red on the head and face.

[Jennie]

Yes, I did get one and it certainly isn't lacking in red! If and I say BIG IF I ever do breed my fish, I thought the SF and my Carnation turk(avatar) would be a nice combo.

I really enjoy your photos. So crisp, clear, and vivid colors.

Thanks. Its a Canon 5d Mark II.

Hi Matt!

I'm new to the forum and I'm still trying to figure out if there is anyone here that sells discus. Your discuses are absolutely gorgeous! I'm in Charlotte and wanted to know if you have any of your fish for sale? Thanks so much!
