Red Turq-Marlboro

[Elliots]

My Discus are in a community tank. I am not trying to breed them nor do I wish to bring up the fry. I have had spawns before but no hatching. Now I have a Red Turquoise and a Marlboro that is orange that laid eggs. Any ideas what the offspring might look like? I will let nature take its course and I anticipate no surviving fry but you never know. I have read that the chance of the fry growing in this situation is very very slight. All my Discus come from Hans.

Malboro is pigeon based and the Red Turq isn't. The fry will be heavily peppered.

Thanks Larry. This is really just an academic question because the fry probably will not make it. I have still not gotten past the eggs stage but I am not interfering.
