Hey Mario:

I love the watermark but you should also add "NOT FOR SALE" :) God knows how many Mario Discus are selling fish on ebay as I type this? Beautiful fish as always. Thanks for the pics. BTW, I REALLY HATE THE THUMBNAILS, it never took long to load the pics on my computer full size. Were others having issues?

take care,

Hi Mario - very nice albino collection you got there. I do want to point out that not only are those some of the newest strains of albinos, they(the adults/semi-adults) also have excellent body shapes/colors/patterns. The effort which were put into raising these beauties really showed. Anyone should be extremely proud of having fish like those in their tanks. Great job!

Hi Ronny,
You could have the same type of fish that I have, you have to know either the importer or seller, and maybe the old man has some of those albino BD's or maybe getting some.

I really like these golden albinos, and the ones you have posted look to be excellent shapes too. How big have you grown them too, and have you bred them yet? If you have bred them did the fry attach??

Sorry for all the questions Mario, but if you don't ask you don't learn :)

Hi Paul,
The golden albino's are approx. 5 to 6" in size, very seldom that I do breed discus and they are mostly for my collection only. I have friends that have those fish and the fry do attach.

Hi Mario, thanks for the answers. They are a nice size too. I have some golden albinos, and one or two have started to twitch at each other, they are too young yet, but I have been told by others that the fry don't attach, hence my question. I want them bigger yet before they breed anyways.

BTW pics 2 and 3 of them are really nice.

All the best,

Fantastic looking fish Mario. Are they sibblings to the first pictures? I love the Red Truq also. I think you need to take out an insurance policy because a few of us are starting to ban together and plan on raiding your house next week. Chances are good you may end up with empty tanks.

I sure love the high body/high fin....

Hi Dan,
The spotted eruptions from Wayne do spot up till later when they are over 1 year old, the red turquoise as you call it will get spots later on and the fish is about 7 months old and they were bred from Wayne's fish that I received in 2004.
The other two discus are the intermediate albino white eruptions, pictures were posted earlier and you could see the difference in their growth. They are nice fish and I hope that I would be able to breed them down the road.

Hey Kenny,
You want some, just let me know which strain and I'll ship them to you.
Freight to collect at destination and you buy your own insurance for the live fish.

Thanks forrest I just fed them FBWs prior to taking the pics. They're like little eating machines. Upon seeing Mario's albino juvies I was inspired and have learned to make their bellies full like some of his.:p

The RGDs frys are still very small, in fact I just separated them yesterday after about 3-4 weeks(don't remember exactly) with their parents. Not much of an update but here they are. I'll try to take some better pics as they grow.

Thank you Forrest,
Kenny
