Guide to discus

Hello, where can I find a guide to the real names of the discus and a photo, to learn the real names of varieties? Is there something?

New color strains are being developed at such a rate that it is impossible to find a current listing anywhere. By reading various web sites and books, you can get an idea of what might be what. Take red spotted discus for example. There are so many confirmed strains, yet each one is different, even if that difference is so subtle that even experienced discus keepers may miss.

Take a look at Kenny's for sale threads lol. They contain a huge ammount of pictures and will tell you what those strains are called. :)

Thanks basshead is a very good link. It is important to know to create the strains.

In Spain we have a good guide to different varieties of discus. I put the English translation. http://translate.google.es/translate?prev=_t&hl=es&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fatlas.drpez.org%2FATLAS-DISCOS-DR-PEZ&sl=es&tl=en&history_state0=

You know another article like that?
