[FLGirl1977]

Man! Those are some really impressive discus! The altum floras have always been one of my favorites.... Would love to have those in my tank! :)

[Ed13]

Good looking floras you got there! Man, Johor Bahru sure has some nice discus!
How prevalent was the high body and high fin on the offspring from the cross?

[ricky.66]

Hi Francis , calihawker , Hendri , Roxanne ,very thanks for all nice comments . Hope to see all of u in Singapore end of the month so we can see the live fish rather than the pic only . :p

Thanks FlGirl1977 n ED13 , Altum Flora is one of my favourite too but its so pity that the patterns of the body isn't so attractive , so i decide to cross them with my very old days r.tur n r.snake ,if let say the A.F body shape is 100% n A.Carnation is 80% but i hope the patterns will improve n u guys will love it .;)


Regards,
Ricky :)

[seanyuki]

Hi Ricky,

Really? 100% on the Altum body, I would've thought much less on the F1. I like the pattern on the Altum and on your Carnation Altum.

BTW, if you are the Ricky I think you are you have MANY nice discus I wouldn't mind if you share with us;);)

[Eddie]

Excellent shape Ricky, very nice.

Eddie

[ricky.66]

Hi Ed13, ya they r all rgds . I do buy the fishes direct from ah lip since so many years ago and everytime he got the new discovery of his improvement he don mind to sell to me(i think nobody as crazy as me, i am his loyal fans ).After so many years i keep on improving the body shape until today he is so happy to see the result and most of the rgds are breed by myself now .


Regards,
Ricky :)

[seanyuki]

That's so cool! I knew your RGDs had that "look" that Lip's RGD have;) My RGD have me mesmerized, I can't imagine what it would be like at Ung Seng Lip's hatchery.

I'd like that too Ricky;):D

OK Francis, the question is whether they are in my near future:inquisitive:

[seanyuki]

Hey Ed,

ARGD = Ferrari ....discus hobbyists dream discus.....have not seen a ARGD for long long time.

Cheers
Francis:)

[ricky.66]

Hi Xiaofei , thanks for the kind words , actually i am not the creator of the altum flora , i just bought them back and continue this line only .:o

The green thing is just a experiment only , because we are trying to use it as a dust collector but it isn't efficient enough . In the other way empty tank is better cos the food wouldn't stuck inside the mat .

Sorry guys for missunderstood cos the pic i took for the RGD was after the water change , the fishes was a bit stress . Here are some pics that i took half a hour after water change .;)

Regards,
Ricky :)

[ricky.66]

Some more ,

[ricky.66]

some more ,

[seanyuki]

Hi bro Ricky,

Very nice RGD you have lah...may I know the size of your tanks....more pictures please....do you have ARGD?I am a big fan of ARGDs.
Thanks again for posting your beauties.

Cheers
Francis:)

[rickztahone]

those Reds look great Ricky. also those altum x carnations look really great and can't wait for the end result although i think they look good as is. i have an altum flora that tends to grow taller rather than longer :o, i guess that's how the strain develops in the early stages. keep up the great work and remember, the more pictures the better!
