Can someone identify this pair please?

[CAGE-RATTLER]

I'll be picking up some 1 inch babies from this pair in the next couple of days and was wonding if any of the experts here could identify what strain they are and what type of babies they will throw.

The attached fry on them is the actual little ones i'll be getting.

They are at 1 inch now.

And yes all pics are of the same fish even know some pics show more red in the fins.

[White Worm]

Cage,,,they are discus and they will probably throw little discus :D

[CAGE-RATTLER]

No wonder brewmaster is having a tough time finding a group of expert judges .... lol

So where are they when i need them? :D

[crazy4discus]

Brilliant turqs....

[Alan]

Turquoise

[CAGE-RATTLER]

Cage, I'd go for turquoise too! Does the breeder not know??

[CAGE-RATTLER]

No .... they werent sure either ... lol.

I believe they also posted the pics before and the thought then was a Turk - PB mix.

I havent seen the parents in person and from the pics its dfinately tough to tell cause some of the pics show alot of red and orange in the fins but the pics of the pair together doesnt show that.

Hopefully i'll be able to see the parents when i pick up the fry.

Im not to worried about it .............. cause the price is right .......... 20 one inch babies for FREE. But it would be nice to know what to call them and to know exactly what bloodline they are incase i grow them out and they breed as well .... lol.

To put your mind to rest the parents are Brillant Turquiose Stendker line of blues.Hands down.

[White Worm]

Kinda safe to go with blues. Make up your own name once you have them. Maybe you can single handedly introduce a new strain. Blue,,,,HMMMMM,,,,ocean greens are mostly blue also, but have no markings.
Seriously, my vote is for some kind of cross with a cobalt. I have one very similar that cant decide what it is either. Oh well, very cool anyway. Should make some good lookin kids though.

I would also call them Brilliant Blues or Brilliant Turqs. As far as if they are from Stendker, I couldn't say for sure.

Wattley had some beautiful Brilliant Blues back in the day and so did Bing Seto.

They're nice fish though. :)

Looks like a briliant to me... It could be an ocean green.. They carry lines like brilliants until they get bigger.

[Kap]

My "vote" is cobalt x blue turquoise cross, but they are real nice whatever they are!

[jeep]

I think they are excellent parents ;)

[CAGE-RATTLER]

I got the tank all ready for the babies now.

Hopefully picking them up tomorrow.

hope they grow out nice and i guess i'll find out if i have what it takes to get them to full size.

[ShinShin]

Turquois.

[CAGE-RATTLER]

They originally came from a breeder in chicago if that helps any .... lol.

The babies are eating like pigs now too so hopefully they'll grow out nice.

Cage, glad to hear that they have settled in and are eating good. Would like to see some more pics soon. Keep up the good work.
