    Man I tell ya...those red type of fish such as yours and Rose Reds and Virgin Reds have STRONG genes. IME, crossing these fish, they all come out looking like the "red" parent...they do look good tho. Will sell easily. Were there any BD's in the batch? I did not see any...Bill

    Very nice looking fry. Congratulation! About the cross, IMO, as seen from the fry, it seem that most went back to their wild dominant form of brown (virgin reds and a few rose red)

    I also like your blue face red cover. I was actually looking at them yesterday on their website. Can you tell me about your experience with them? If it's favorable, I may order a pair. Thanks.

    Interesting cross, a blue (no stress bar) x red (stress bar) discus, would love to see some of them grow up; if anyone is planning to buy, it would be great if you keep us updated with a timeline

    good luck on your sales

    These are great looking fry and good sized. In the video they are NOT hungry lol.

    So guys, what do you get when you mix blue and red...well purple of course (ok...weak attempt at humor).

    Looking good!...tho as I suspected, no BD's. Has been my experience as well crossing RR's with other types. Great shapes on them. Keep us updated, as I would like to see how they develop...Bill
