Rod,

Thanks for the pictures. Great job. They are very nice.

I believe the ones that you are drawn to are called white leopards. Not 100% sure. Maybe others could shed some more light on them.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments about the photography, my camera is very old (i think ancient would be apt..lol) but after years of familiarity i manage to get a few good shots. i like slr over digital because you get what you see in the veiwfinder.

Rodrigo, No discus were formally for sale at the show but most people were willing to show me discus that could be bought at thier homes. On my trip to Singapore and Penang i seen some amazing discus and will post more as i can find the time.

Sly, Nice discus, i really liked your fish a lot. But man they need a really good name ;D

Lance, Unfortunetly no competition discus had the owners name attached, many of the breeders were there however and willingly talked to me about thier fish. There are 4 simply members fish represented in those photos, Sly and David off course, and also orient and zoids have discus represented.

Great photos, thanks for sharing Rod.

And it looked like you had a terrific time.

In regard to your question about what the fish name is, on Jason's website, they are called Cloud Leopard (http://www.superiordiscus.com/gallery_spots.html).

Cheerio,

Chi.
