What strain of discus has a red body and blue fins?

[tpl*co]

I was looking at the mystique discus at the Lucky Tropical site and was wondering if there are similar fish or other names for a red discus with blue fins? (hopefully located in the US and/or California? :) ) I tried to do a general search on red samurai discus and got everything under the sun except the discus fish I was looking for :( (oh what a tangled web we weave and get stuck in!). If anybody has different names and sources (and pictures) I'd like to see them :D

Hello,
This red discus You are talking about is not a strain! But a hybrid between two or more types. Not seeing a pic of what your wanting tells me your red discus might be called a virgin red Etc... But like I said above there are so many red crosses with many more names attached.
hth

Looks like the breeder focused more on the blue marking of the San Merah/Ghost features. A small percentage of my Sans have the blue face, but alas it's a very small percentage as a sanxsan will throw some alanqueor,browns,rose red i.e. virgin red and san merah....focusing on the blue traits on the fins and the face is a mighty project on the breeder as it's such a small precentage to start with.

JMHO.

:bounce:

I have a San Merah with a bluish face (just got him a week and a half ago and he's not eating, I want him to eat!) But not the bright red with blue fins like the fish on the website. He also has red in his fins.
