His golden leopard snakeskin looks nice too.

Not sure about the Gold Penguin. ???

Thanks Ping. The golden Leopard suppose to have golden spoted body. I have the feeling the Gold Penguin suppose to look like some of my hi fin hi body fish with a triangular shape dorsal fin on a blue diamond body. They are going for over $3,000 each. My breeder friend can't even get a hold of the fry. I thought the bad economy in the East has dampened wild discus trade. It doesn't apply to the new strain on domestic if the Japanese are paying that much.

You are welcome Jimmy.

Wow $3,000. Geez, never thought Japanese will pay that much. I know they are crazy on koi, but never thought on this too. ;D

Out of my budget, $3,000 -> this is close to what i am paying for my school fee for a year.
So, i have to choose, school fee or A discus .. LOL ;D

Does your friend have the picture ? I would like to see.

Regards,
Ronny

Ping: A Golen Leopard is just a cross btw a very pure golden base pigeon female and a red vertical fine line snakeskin male. I can create one in 3 months. Why is it so expensive.????? a simple cross. Probably most of the resulting cross are dirty golden pigeon. I presently have some similar full grown crosses with disappointing black dust. They will be used to test my new central systems.
Orient has nice beutiful fish.
Jimmy.
