This is a picture of my Female Turq. I think she's a Red Turquoise but I've seen pictures of Blue Turquiose that look similar to her.
Can anybody tell me if she's a Red or Blue Turquoise?.
I actually bought her as a Red Eagle from the LFS about 18 mths ago. I've never heard of Red eagle Discus since so I'm almost positive it was just a made up name to attract a few extra $$$. :oops:

Thanks.. Oscar

Thanks Proteus helpful as always.
I thought she was a Red Turq but I just wanted to make sure.

I may not be correct, but from all the Turqs I have seen, that has to be a Red Turq...

Might have been a through back from the fry or might just have been dodgey dealers. Ah well either way you got a nice fish..

Thanks Flukes that Red Eagle is a real beauty.
Yeah my Red Turq looks nothing like that. I wish she did but I'm still happy with her as she's a real nice exsample and hopefully soon she'll pair up with the male Red Turq.
I don't think she's a throw back as I also got my male Red Turq from the same shop at the same time and both were the same size and look very similar so I'm guessing they're both from the same batch.

Thanks.. Oscar
