something different

[Jeff]

What do you think? One of a kind.

Hi Jeff,
Wasn't a similar fish displayed during a Malaysian Discus exhibition. I think I saw them in Oliver Lucanus's site. They are called Calico if I am right.
Who knows? They maybe a popular strain in a few years.
Is it part of your collection? Is it a mutation from the ghost discus?

[Jeff]

Calico yes. Usually not quite like this. This guy is a bit different. Something unique I thought I would share.

[tpl*co]

I like it! will you be getting any?

[Jeff]

No. I will not have any of these. I wish I could.

[Spices]

They look like the Wattley's Green Mambas only that they have a slight different color. It looks very interesting Jeff.
:D

I'm usually not a fan of blotchy discus, but that one is very nice!!

[Jeff]

Blotchy is a good description.

[ronman]

I like it.

Great looking discus, every few years a pic of these blotched pattern discus appear on the market to tease us, but the breeders never seen to successfully be able make a strain from them. Hopefully, someday, someone will work out how to manipulate the genes to make these discus appear in numbers, they will be a hit imo.

Hey Beta. I think those were accidentally done to those discus through using Acids to lower the PH. Any thoughts?

[CARY_GLdiscus]

I'm not sure too.. the fact that not many have been produced so far indicates that they are probably mutations and not chemically induced JMO

[Jeff]

I have seen it both ways. Some come out that way, others are by accident.

[chirohorn]

They look like marbled angels to me. Very unique to discus for sure.
