Can somebody ID my discus for me?

[coops]

Hi can someone please ID this discus for me, ive not seen this "strain" on the net or in any shops so just wondering what ive got and what it could possibly look like when adult/mature?

[nicholas76]

nice fish


that actually looks like a nebula

the one at the rear is a blue diamond.


what do other think

[dreamer]

front one is ghost, or maybe nebula with poor coloring

rear one is cobalt, blue diamond shouldnt have any marking on the fins and no stress bars

ghosts dont have colouring as far as im aware of

and blue diamonds and ocean greens can have the tail stress bar. Both are from the cobalt strain anyway.

what do you mean ghost dont have colour?

if you look carefully you can see stress bars on the body and pattern/marking on the fins

Don't hype up an old strain calling it something new....
Nebula or whatever u wanna call it are selected fish from Ghost.

Nebulas are selected from the same spawn as ghost based on a few criteria. The background colour is clean and clear (white as possible), the outer black rim is faint/minimal, fish shows sufficient amount of yellow/gold and the red colour can be brought out by feeding carophyl pink (red colour enhancer). They don't breed true.... so, Don't u get a pair of "Nebula" from a farm, breed them and think u will be getting all nebula fry... U won't. U get Ghost. The pick of the spawn, IF they meet the criteria, breeders give these a "brand" name - Nebula. They don't breed true.

Ghost is a terribly old strain... Many have tried to revived this strain by calling it many a fancy name.

The best we can call that fish is a gold cap ghost.

This, some ppl call "Nebula" or "Aurora" or whatever fancy name they decide. Essentially fish from the same spawn as above. Just selected quality fish and fed with colour enhancer.
