Tiger Turquoise and Brilliant Turquoise

[discus rookie]

I am sorry if it has been asked. I just want to know the difference between these two strains please?

You can go to Kenny's sponsor section and see the pics in his monthly shipments.

The pattern and color. A brilliant is typically a more shiny blue and the pattern is more horizontal where a tiger's pattern is more vertical.

Tiger turk is typically a red turquoise with a particular pattern, that they liken to the 'tiger'

A brilliant is typically its own separate strain. Not a red turk. As Eddie mentioned, a metallic blue sheen

So, you could say a Tiger Turk is a red turk

And a Brilliant turk is a brilliant turk

Definitely, good call on the tiger being red turq!

Do Tiger Turquoise usually have a black bar through their eyes?
Thanks.
I am a beginner and I am just confused because this looks like a brilliant turquoise but it is actually a tiger turquoise?

The video I just showed are tiger turquoise but the body also has quite a bit of blue sheen. I guess I am just confused. Thanks.

Edit: I am not sure why but the video is not showing.:(

Those don't look anything like brilliants in the video.

These are brilliants from one of Forrest/Kenny's shipment. They are more like a blue turq with less of a red base like the tigers in the video.

So, can I look at it like this: brilliant is more of a blue based strains with red lines, while tiger or red turquoise a red based with blue and white lines?
That carnation tiger turquoise from Kenny's shipment is beautiful. Is "carnation" used to describe that particular pattern, or doe sit have to do with the color as well?
Thank you for your patience with my questions...

A brilliant is similar to a blue turq, just more brilliant. LOL The base is not red (the red lines you are asking about). And yes, carnation is used to describe the pattern.
