Curious what everyones favorite strain of discus is today? I'm very partial to wild greens and blue snakeskins as my favorites.. Probably next up would be san merahs and a close follow up would be red based wild blues and Heckels.

What about you? Whats your favorites?

I have never owned one, but the Piwo Red Turquoise is my favorite.

I'm pretty much with Al on this. My favorite are SSs with a strong blue base. My second pick would be the brown based reds. I love a good wild of any type, but never felt the urge to try owning and breeding them

If I had to choose wilds - I absolutely LOVE wild greens, especially the ones I've seen previously posted by Pat.

Domestic breed? I spotted a video of Chicago Discus lately, and I'm sold on the Rose Red, Super Panthera, and Ruby Red Spider.

Check out the video here:

Those piwo red turqs with the horizontal striations are really sweet looking fish and can have a really nice shape. RED turqs in general are on my top 5 list.:)

Blue tiger turqs, but the super panthera at Chicago discus are amazing!

My personal preference is wilds also. I really love the wild greens and also love the red-based browns (or Cuipuea) :D

Wild Tefe Greens hands down. Wild Browns and Heckles in that order. I've never been a huge fan of the "manufactured" strains we have now. The closer to wild the more enthused I am.

I think it's pretty obvious by my more recent posts that I like the spots, lol... But, I also like many of the other traditional strains as well...
