Hi ,
I think theres too much carophyll pink in those fish
Way too red for my liking
Nice shape thou
Can we see what they look like without the coloring enhancers please


Thanks

[forrest]

hi all,
those fishes r probably not going to US market at the moment,i bought them for future breeding programme.those fishes were really cost me a boom n i was paying by installment,lol(ashame to say that).i was thinking of selling 2-3 pcs of those fishes of to cover some of my cost,but even myself thinking it will be too much to resell them.

rgds,
forrest.

Hi Fishgirl,
first of all,i have to say that the camera(Canon) that i using has enhance a little bit color of the fishes by itself,but not PHOTO SHOP.

The Red Golden Diamond has been raised with pigheart/beefheart with astaxanthin added into their diet.

I was wondering, what makes u think that those fishes have been fed with carophyll pink? Does any part of body on the fishes that show the fishes has been colored with carophyll pink?are you aware of any special genetic trait difference between the Red Golden Diamond and other red fish? What about the intensity of red color between males and females of the RGDs?

By the way the reddest fish in the photo is a female Red Golden Diamond.

here is a pic that i just took today after about 2 months recieved from my friend.

best rgds,
forrest.

[Elite Aquaria]

Fishgirl,

I agree with Forrest...Red Golden Diamonds when feed with astaxanthin in there diet along with shrimp will turn very red. Additionally, as Forrest mentions the red coloration on females are more intensely red. Here are some of my RGD fish that are only fed with LCBW, FBW and a Seafood mix with Beef and astaxanthin once per day. I also believe these are the females. The fish are actually redder in person than in these pictures.

[Darren's Discus]

Forrest and Dan,
beautiful looking rgd's !


cheers

[Elcid]

Hi Forrest:

Beautiful fish with no color bleeding into the tail! Amazing! :) I hope you get babies soon and send us some!

keep it up!
Sandeep

[barramundi]

Forrest and Dan,
They are just stunning,colour,shape, i hope mine turn out to be as good as they are.Well done, but i think more have to be sent over to Australia,hopefully to Darren @A1 so we can all enjoy them in our homes and not just look at them on here.

John

[Hattawi]

Just curious, any news on breeding those stunning red fish yet?

[MSD]

My question would be, why does a 21 post "Fishgirl" make such ignorant statments about a breeder we have bought so many excellent fish from over the years???

[mikel]

I dont know what fishgirl is trying to imply, but I have to say that these fish are just magnificent. They might just get me to start another big tank just for them if and when they become available. All the best Forrest! mike:)

[aquadiva]

:shocked:WOW! These fish are beyond stunning!! Please send them to Kenny for his Feb. shipment. ;) I can't imagine waking up to that beautiful bright red each morning :sun::sun::sun: Winters are long here, skies are grey, I need some bright red discus to brighten my days!!:D:D:D


Anna :angel:

[MostlyDiscus]

Dan, Nice fish my friend. The shape of your fish are outstanding. Those your breeders my friend? You sure come along way since guppy days:D


Ed

[lauren0626]

These are super nice looking reds! Can't wait to see how their babies look!

[jodiscusguy]

forrest,

any news on these? how is the breeding going?

as all of us here would love to have some of them young ones, if and when they are ready.

john o:D

[FLGirl1977]

Forrest, those are simply stunning fish. :) Any news with the breeding program? I would love to see some of these coming to the states soon. ;)

[seanyuki]

I think those are the Red Golden Diamonds breed by Forrest in 2007....perhaps I could be wrong lah.


Cheers
Francis:)

[FLGirl1977]

What is the difference between these guys compared to a Rose Red or Red Clover? :confused:

[seanyuki]

Hi Renee,


My guess are

1.Red Golden Diamonds got golden base genes & when stressed no bars in the body.
2.Rose Red got brown base genes and has bars in the body.....San Merah is an improved version & no bars in the body even when stressed..
3.Red Cover got pigeons base genes & stressed got peppering in it's body.


Cheers
Francis:)

[FLGirl1977]

Francis, that's a very good explanation! Thank you! :)

[seanyuki]

Hi Renee,

I am only guessing & could be wrong....better let the experts here to explain the details.

Cheers
Francis:)



Francis, that's a very good explanation! Thank you! :)

[MostlyDiscus]

I think the idea is to breed out the black peppering. The 3Rs I purchased were golden based and not PB. Its the main reason I would like to breed the royal ruby reds instead of the tangerines I have atm.

Hi Robyn,

[TankWatcher]

Thanks Darren. BTW, has your contact got any more wild heckels? I can't quite remember if you said early Feb or early March he would have some more?
