San Merah Discus

[Eddie]

Nice fish, some would classify it as a Rose Red or Red Cover, depends on the breeder.

I hope that I have not mistaken Virgin Red X Wild Green= Rose Red(with bars) & others....after culling Rose Reds without bars are called San Merah.

I had several pairs of RR's from Jeffrey Yang, thru Mike Beals, and every pair/spawn had a percentage of bars, SnakeSkin and regular, and a high amount of bar-less. Tho I am sure I could have played the name game and sold as 3 different strains, I sold the all as RR's, what the parents were...Bill

Here is a photo of the pair being refered to as San Merah. Can anyone confirm if these are a true pair? Reason I question it is because from the images I have seen of San Merah, this pair looks much lighter in color.

If they are anything like the VR's, they darken quite a bit when they are spawning, I think alot of the "wow" pictures are taken at this time.

[William Palumbo]

Those look like the real deal to me. If that's the pair being sold in Wisconsin, they came from a reputable source. As said, they usually darken once wrigglers/freeswimmers...Bill

Nice red discus Jeff.....hope they will breed for you.....is the male older than the female since girls mature faster?......plus nice looking discus breeding cone too.....where did you get it?

[Discus Plus]

The fish are mine but will soon be Jeff's. I've started grad school and needed to get rid of my Discus for now.

The breeding cone is from the late Jim Quarles.

I know this is an OLD thread, and probably dead...but after reading about the san merah's I was wondering how I would turn out with my mix. Yesterday I noticed wrigglers in my 90 gal community tank. the san merah is the male, the female is a blue diamond.
