Hello all,
Have you ever wondered what a certain name of Discus looked like? It seems every day new names, strains and crosses are being developed and marketed . Its confusing to novices and experienced keepers alike! So we decided to start trying to keep a listing of these names and what they look like. If you have a fish picture and want to share it and its name here we have a few guidelines.
1) The image must belong to you! No exceptions. The forum respects the rights of the owner of that picture and does not want any image here that the owner did not expressly want here.
2) By submitting images here you grant SimplyDiscus the right to use said images in perpetuity for the purposes of producing this record of Discus strains and Discus Names. This includes images that you host off site. The purpose of this section is to produce a permanent record. Photos hosted off site are not a permanent record so we encourage all members to use the Forum's photo upload system for this section. If you need help with using the upload system, please contact a moderator or admin for assistance.
3) If you post a photo in this section of an offline hosted image..you give us the right to upload to our server said photo and insert it into you post as a back up in case something happens to your off site hosted photo.
4) Videos are not allowed....images only
5) Images are not to be overly modified...but may contain watermarks with your name on them.
6) Any Strain name, cross, etc can be listed. If the name is already in a thread title, post there, if it is not, make a new thread following the established pattern. Threads and posts may be placed into moderation while we check and edit them according. If so, we will try and do so as quickly as possible.
7) We may move pictures or combine threads as we see fit. This includes reorganizing images into galleries. We may also without warning or explanation delete images. Particularly ones that we feel are not in keeping with our stated goals, or that have questionable ownership rights.
8) Copyright issues can be reported to any moderator, admin, or emailed to webmaster@simplydiscus.com You may also use the thread report feature.
9) If at some future point you decide that you do not wish to be part of this forum, the image will remain in this listing for the benefit of the forums membership and hobbyists everywhere.
10) You agree to all these stipulations, as well as the general forum rules and FAQs if you decide to participate in this section of the forum. (Discus Strain Catalogue ( member submitted-- Strains galore!))
What I envision are threads started by members for the common Ones...
Red Turquoise Discus
Striated Blue Discus
Alenquers
San Merah etc..
and also the special ones, ones that a particular breeder has made a name for or a particular strain of wilds.
Lastly ones for crosses. No longer will you have to scrounge for info on what you get when you cross a redmellon with a BD.. its there.
or a wild green with a Blue Snakeskin. It will all be documented.
The Format is important . If you see a thread started that already covers your fish, don't start a new one, just add your pics to the existing one. For instance right now there is a thread there for "Forrest Red Turquoise Discus. " If you have "Forrest Red Turquoise Discus" . " post pics there. If you have a "Domestic Red Turquoise Discus start a new thread if there isn't one already for that line.
Follow this format in Domestics. " Name +Discus " In wilds the format is the same but you will use the River Name if you know it... example " Tefe Wild Green Discus" and for crosses...
"F1 Wild Green X Domestic Blue Snakeskin Discus" where the pics are of the offspring of a wild green X blue snakeskin.
We will monitor, edit and move as necessary.
Please read the rules before posting.....http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?118448-This-Boards-Purpose-and-Rules-Document-Strain-Names-and-their-associated-pictures
A note on names... The point of this isn't to argue over whether such and such a discus should be called this or that...Theres hundreds of names for various breeds of discus that are pretty similar if not identical. The purpose is to simply catalogue what these names are and what the fish looks like thats associated it with it. After a while it will be clear what the groups each strain or trade name belongs. I also think it will be really useful in documenting the crosses. How many times have you read "what will I get when I cross this with this.?
I personally think that SimplyDiscus is uniquely situated as being able to pull this off long term.
Thank you,
Al
