Can someone tell my owner what strain I am?

[tonymaccs]

He thinks I've got 14 bars (if he can count). Most of the time I am very light coloured with yellow highlights. Other times like when I'm fooling around with my girlfriend in pic4 I get dark green around the perimeter but still keep my yellow glow.
ps- dont comment on my burnt tail fins, my clever owner was helping me with my itchiness and gave me a PP bath last week- hope they grow out as nice as they were.

I couldn't tell ya what strain you are little fishy, but you are quite a good-looking little guy. :D

Tony, he looks pretty cool. Perhaps a golden snakeskin?

[AADiscus]

I was thinking the same thing Jose.

ps....tell your owner to not give you such a long pp bath next time and maybe your fins won't get hurt.

[Ed13]

Yes you've got 14 bars. I'll tell Tony you are a blue snakeskin with possible wild brown genes or golden genes in your bakground, although a yellow glow could be mutation

I would definitely say you have some wild genes there...

[pcsb23]

poss a snakeskin of some sort and poss some wild genes too. Keep a close watch on it though, there seems to be some small pits around the face.

I'm thinkin' those are probably just normal sensory pits exaggerated by the angle of the photo.

Depending on the type of lighting you are using I would have to say he could be just a really lite wild brown or crossed with a domestic lite colored Discus its jut a guess. Mike

The first thing that popped into my head when I first saw this fish was SS x something, so I agree with Jose, even though it lacks SS face and opercula markings everything else screams SS to me. I disagree about it having wild in the cross though, maybe SS x Golden or some other yellow discus?

[tonymaccs]

Thanks for the warning guys, but once again it's my fault- I was too lazy to clean the outside glass and it's creating illusions. He is totally clean around the head.
BTW, I figured something was afoot yesterday and today, eggs!

[tonymaccs]

Re lighting- just the room fluoro, no camera flash.
Think I'll leave the glass cleaning til later.

Tony,
all the best with the spawn.



cheers

If you take away all the extra bars and imagine the thin line pattern is a bit thicker this fish is almost identical to wild colombian greens, especially in the last set of pics.

I'm not saying it is wild or that it has wild gernes, just that reminds me of some I saw last year. Anyway, it has an unmistakable golden glow
Oh and congrats on the spawn

Agree with with ED13 - and with the markings on the anal fin led with teh coloration around the head led me to the wild portion.
