birthday discus.

[bushie]

g`day all,

so my missus bought me some discus for my birthday.
I never really liked red dragons but I`ve got em now so I`d better start liking them.
I have only ever seen small ones and was wondering what they looked like when they get bigger.
if anyone has photos or links to photos of large red dragons it would be appreciated.

also I got a "snow white discus" .
is this a discus strain or do people just make up their own names?
anyway, this snow white discus is really beautiful.
pure white with a faint irridescent blue through the anal fin.

will post photos soon for positive I.D.

thanx all

You cant just be honest and say your not keen? Maybe she will let you swap or sell to get some of a colour you do like.

[sammigold]

Oh! is that what they look like.... I have one that looks a bit like that but less red...

I think Forrest had a picture of something similar:

That one was a turk, rather than a pigeonblood though.

Very nice fish, whatever else it is Sammi!

Nice pigeon sammi! :D

people can call them what they want sunshine this dragon that, but to me they are all pigeon strain.

ok, so here is a photo of one the red dragons I got from the missus.

so you can see why I`m not extatic about them.
not much to look at really, although they are juvi`s.

then I found an older fish that was also classified as red dragon.
bargain price so had to have it.

as you can see the colours are starting to intensify.
so there maybe hope for those little juvi`s yet.


also, I thought I would post pics of the snow white that I got.
I have never seen another white discus with such blue fins before.
tell me what you think!
