Hi, so i have been looking for some kind of soild red discus because i have a valentine discus in my tank already but a solid red discus would just look really good. So far i have found fire reds and scarlets. Scarlets i cannot find anywhere and the fire reds i still am not 100% sure if they say soild or not? If someone could tell me if they stay soild or not that would really help me out. And ive been likeing the fire reds because i found this thread: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?88817-Stendker-Fire-Reds-by-DISCUS-HANS/page3 by warlock4169, what really cought my eye was this picture. So if anyone knows of any soild red discus or knows the the soild red discus do stay soild or not that would be great :). Thanks

:fish:

Are you looking for pigeon based or brown based reds?

Ya i saw those, and i was also looking at the red covers. But the rose reds look more brown then red? Or maybe its because they are out of water? Do you know or have a picture of what they look like in water and or grown up?

Yes i have looked at those as well. Including your stock. Do you know if they stay soild or do they get a different color head? And i saw a video you posted about your fire reds and it was kinda hard to see the fish's color. Do you have any other pics or videos?

Wow that picture at the bottom looks really good. Are those parents or ones for sale? And by pale head, is that like a oragnish color? And it says $90 each so is that just for the fish or fish+shipping? Thanks for the help by the way lol

Josie NICE Fire Reds!!!

I too wanted some 'red' in my tank & ended up with a brown-based red from Kenny.......a Blue Faced Brown :)
here's a pic from when I first got the fish (the lighting makes it look a bit 'brighter/redder' than it actually is in this photo):

I didn't anticipate this, it is a stunning Discus.

I also like the Red Covers, a pair I got from Kenny then traded to Eric @ Carolina Discus:

I'm a convert. 'wish I could have a whole tank of brown-based reds!!!

good luck! hope this helps

I love Fire Reds... The are solid red once they mature to adults. You can get them at Chicagodiscus.com or Hans below.

Here's how they look as adults

Marlboro Red is another Red Discus you can get.

They are all PB so you will need a light background to prevent them from peppering very bad...
