hi all, has anyone come across with a strain of discus called "Dickson gold:? I tried to google it but no luck. Has anyone seen it before? Are they nice? Thanks.

Ivo, I've heard of it, and I believe it's a yellow based fish, but unfortunately never seen one.

There are a few members on here familiar with some of the newer strains. Hopefully one of them will have a pic for you.

Dickson Gold were around about 3 years ago and since then I haven't seen any at all. They are a yellow based fish and from what I've been told only bred by one Asian breeder, can't remember his name, who has now moved on to different strains. The last of the breeding stock was bought by a guy on the Gold Coast and the last time I heard he was having trouble breeding them, probably why we haven't seen any.

I think Dick Au was the breeder of Dickson Gold.

Dickson Gold is still being bred by the original breeder in Penang, Dickson Lim. Still readily available if you know where to go. Not terribly expensive, but reasonable at around $20-$25 USD at 2.5-3" wholesale.

Thank you. I think i much rather the albino dickson!! I was told that they are yellow base with clear tail and fins, and clean. They will arrive soon so i will check them out in person before i make up my mind.

The Yellow Female Dickson only has those grubby edges like that when breeding of course. The male has now gone much more golden as he gets older. Babies are unfortunately pretty variable but a few are pretty good for the next generation......
